Just another flu
When people say Covid 19 is just like a flu, today I read this interesting story in Stuff about the 1918 Flu Pandemic which hit New Zealand so bad that "By early November 1918, there were 15 deaths a day in Auckland, and on November 12, this peaked to 83 deaths on a single day. By the end of the year around 1100 Aucklanders had succumbed to the virus." Taking into account that the population of Auckland was (308,766) this was a lot of deaths for the time. www.stuff.co.nz... I am sure they would have loved to have a Vaccine for the Spanish flu as we do for Covid 19, get vaccinated.
