[quote:Anonymous Coward 81193198:MV81MDA2NzkwXzkxNjU3NTc2X0Y1OEU1QzBG] The "Spanish" Flu is actually from China/Asia/POC countries. [b]1918 Flu Pandemic That Killed 50 Million Originated in China, Historians Say[/b] Chinese laborers transported across Canada thought to be source. [i]The deadly "Spanish flu" claimed more lives than World War I, which ended the same year the pandemic struck. Now, new research is placing the flu's emergence in a forgotten episode of World War I: the shipment of Chinese laborers across Canada in sealed train cars. Historian Mark Humphries of Canada's Memorial University of Newfoundland says that newly unearthed records confirm that one of the side stories of the war—the mobilization of 96,000 Chinese laborers to work behind the British and French lines on World War I's Western Front—may have been the source of the pandemic.[/i] https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/140123-spanish-flu-1918-china-origins-pandemic-science-health BLACK origin diseases - Ebola, HIV YELLOW origin diseases - Hong Kong flu, Asian flu, SARS, Covid BROWN origin diseases - MERS, Taco-bell diarrhea.

Very interesting 30 minute documentary
Now that all with knowledge of this pandemic are long gone
We who know nothing of our history blindly walk down the same road
Tha Spanish Flu ended after almost 2 years because of a milder strain similar to Omicron
Then the people who lost everything went to work for the big corporations in their factories
Not long after a brief break from the tyranny
The economy collapsed, people starved, and then came WW2
