H1N1 hit in THREE WAVES and each wave was more deadly. Much of the spread of the disease was because politicians were reluctant to "panic the herd" and refused to shut down their cities for a few days to allow it to burn out. These viruses are constantly mutating and roughly every 100 +/- years or so their surface proteins all play musical chairs and become "invisible" to our immune system. Until our immune system ID's the new virus and starts pumping out antigen specific antibodies we are at the mercy of the bug. That can take 30 hours or more. The ONLY thing our bodies can do until then is run a high fever which severely curtails the viral rate of replication in the body. The only "medicine" available in those days was simple aspirin (ASA). The effect of administering ASA was it knocked the fever down. A soldier would be "treated" with ASA at noon, feel better for a couple of hours and be dead before midnight. Our medical response TODAY is not much different. NOT enough doses of Tamiflu ® to go around if there is another pandemic and we are TRAINED to reach for the ASA or ContactC® or some other anti-cold and flu over the counter meds all of which will knock your fever down ... and KILL YOU. Unless they are lying even modern epidemiologists are NOT sure why H1N1 was SO deadly or why / how it became more lethal with each wave. They do suspect that many of the fatalities - mostly in the 15 to 40 year old range were a result of Cytokine storm (symptoms VERY similar to pneumonia). This is an immune response where the body knows it is being attacked but has not yet ID'd the invader. The body assumes the invader is coming in through the lungs and floods the area with white cells to combat the invading agent. Red cells are kept from dropping CO2 and picking up O2 so the body begins to suffocate. The extremities begin to necrotize and you begin to rot with fingers and toes & feet turning black. Apparently the smell in these wards was horrible. re: SPANISH FLU. MOST of the world was at war and neither side wanted the other side to know how bad they were being hit by this flu so everything was censored. It wasn't until the flu arrived in Spain which was NEUTRAL during WW1 that the true seriousness of the pandemic was realized and so it was named SPANISH FLU. One recent study ID'd the origin of this bug as very likely CHINESE WORKERS who had just arrived to work on large pig farms in Kansas for the war effort. There were rumours that a SWINE FLU was rampant in China earlier that year. There is a worldwide epidemic of AFRICAN SWINE FLU - RIGHT NOW and it is expected to kill HALF the pig population of the world. It remains to be seen if it jumps to humans. I HAS been 100 years!! As to the theories that this was a man-made VAX to reduce the population or it was a BIO-WEAPON gone wrong .... WTF knows. I'm sure the politicians back then were just as paranoid, ruthless and psychopathic as they are today. my 2¢ |
