1918-1919 influenza pandemic was the most devastating thing in the history. In the world war 1 nine million people got killed around the world. Some people in the war had the great epidemic flu, it raged around the world in 1918.
Although the Medical experts attempted to keep the viruses away. The arrival of the SS Niagara brang many cases of sickness with them, also a crew member on the ship died. Some people blamed them for carrying the flu with them.
After that the Health Department gave sick people small bottles of Stout, Whisky and Brandy to ease the pain. But it did not cure the sickness.
There was emergency kitchens for the families that was not well enough to make their own food. A lot of the doctors were still coming on the ships because of the war.
Towns become ghost towns because of the epidemic flu killing everybody. Trains stopped running, many theaters, schools, shops and churches were closed.
