Report of the Spanish flu in Missouri Spain's cold has been infected from St. Louis, Missouri. Because residents of this great city have taken many precautions to protect themselves and their families from inflammatory diseases that are hitting our great country. When wartime, when our country needs our power, the most important thing is to do all the action we need to fight this influenza epidemic and eliminate it from our shore It means that we have to take it. Let's find a book on how to prevent the spread of this disease from St. Louis's book.

Influenza: Several influenza epidemics in the 20th century caused millions of deaths worldwide, including the most serious epidemic in American history In 1918, the outbreak of influenza in Spain was 500,000 I killed more. Today, influenza is no longer a public health threat, but it is still a serious disease affecting many people. About 20,000 people die each year from influenza. Influenza virus attacks the human respiratory tract and causes fever, headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, body pain.

At that time the American called the epidemic of 1918 "Spanish flu". Because Spain reported a group of early deaths while others were considering it. The Spaniard called it the "Russian Flu", while the French accused the Chinese. The clinicians at the time stated that they were infected with influenza but they thought it was caused by a Pfeiffer bacillus (now known as H. influenzae). Others accuse Friedland's Bacillus, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Tens of bacterial vaccines were tried in 1918 when it was found that the influenza epidemic is influenza A and not H. influenzae type B, but they are not effective against viruses and of course it is natural. Home remedies include red pepper sandwiches and various teas. Desperate measures are recommended, including inhalation of chloroform, camphor amulets, tonsils or tooth removal.

Genetically engineered pathogens may also have these characteristics and need to be considered as one of the most serious potential biological threats.
