The pandemic

Kia Ora everyone, welcome back to my blog. I hope you are having a wonderful day. I have had a wonderful day seeing my best friends. It has been 4 weeks since we have been stuck in lockdown according to the pandemic. Today I read about the pandemic in 1918. A lot of historic things happen in the 18's and 19's. 

Some historic things that happened:

*World war 1

*World war 2

*Apollo

*And many other wars

The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by the H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. At first, soldiers who were fighting in world 1 were feeling the failure of the systems according to their exhaustion of fighting.

 This virus also traveled really fast within the globe. Thes was also spread by soldiers traveling from North America to Europe in the early 19s. By mid-year, the virus had reached the Southern Hemisphere.  The death rate kept growing. The flu then reached the big cities of Europe and North America by August and soon people were dying in South Africa, Japan, China, Peru, Greece, and Italy.

This virus also spread worldwide. This virus was known as the Spanish flu. The Spanish flu killed 500 million people in the Spanish flu. By December 1918 the virus spread through New Zealand. So many people and kids died from this deadly flu and so much will be remembered. 

People suffered bloody noses and other organ problems. The flu heat New Zealand at thy end of World war 1. When the third of the country's doctors and nurses served overseas.  Those staff who were in New Zealand were often the first to get ill. So untrained volunteers had to take the risk. Other people drove their cars makeshift ambulance or built coffins for the dead. 

Thank you for reading my blog. I would say you should properly search up about the pandemic in 1918.  Keep safe and keep smiling ❤
