Davlyn- By the end of 1918 there was a flu that killed heaps of people plus deaths of the war. A few months later nearly 9,000 people died there were three other influenza pandemics, in 1957,1968, 2009 and 2019. The flu in 1918 is a virus that is around the world, the virus is called covid 19 the 19 comes from 2019. But these days in 2020 we have ways to communicate and we have better medicine. In 2020 we have better living conditions, better ways to communicate (internet, TV, phones) and better hygiene (showering etc) than the people did in 1918 so we are less likely to get a virus like the flu. However, we are increasing our chances of getting a virus because of industrial farming, and international travel.
NZ’s killed by the Flu:_9,000___ Over a ____4___ year period.
NZ’s killed in WW1: __18,000____ Over a ____4 year___ period.

Why is the 1918 flu known as Spanish Flu?Because it was first in Spanish.

Why did some people think the 1918 flu was a return of the plague?Same effects

What medical knowledge was learnt from the 1918 flu? How important self isolation is

For every 1 European that died of the flu in NZ,5Maori died. This was because the europeans had better immune systems

Is it true that RMS Niagara brought the flu to NZ? no How do you know? Because there were already cases
.
Why was this virus so deadly? Because they all were so close and they were in unsanitary condition

If you caught this virus, what happened to you? You will get pneumonia and cyanosis

Who were the heroes during this crisis?  The boy scouts and people who volunteered

What limitations did people living in 1918 have during this crisis? (hint: think about what would have made it hard for them to survive this time, things they didn’t have then that we have now). Better medicine
  1. u do catch it
  2.  Do not shower so you get germs.
  3.  Do not wash your hands
Name 3 things that decrease the likelihood of a pandemic happening and explain why they do so:
  1. Better houses because they are warm. 
  2.  Better hygiene because they don’t get affected. 
  3.  Technology/better knowledge because we know more about the body.

Explain what a vaccine is and how it works.


Explain what is happening in these pictures - write in your own words.
At the time 1918 there was a deadly flu then people made an unproven spray that would make you not get the flu. Then they started getting more people to get sprayed then a whole lot of people were lining up for the spray but they got the flu for staying next to each other. Then random people and kids went overseas to help the people at the war. Like kids delivering food and adults making coffins.






Why is November 1918 known as ‘black November’ in NZ? The most people died in november from the plague


Name 3 things that increase the likelihood of a pandemic happening and explain why they do so:
don’t Stay home so you do catch it
 Do not shower so you get germs.
 Do not wash your hands

Vaccine- are a little bit of the virus that is dead so your body can make antibodies that can fight off the virus.
Zinc Sulphate- a medicine
Formally improved -Approved from the Government
Medical Benefit- Helping your body fight.
Undoubtedly- probably, definitely
Spray inhalers - a gas you breathe in through your nose/mouth, think of an asthma inhaler.
benefit/beneficial - mean the same thing
Davlyn-in 1918 there were no vaccines because they did not know how to make them, vaccines are things that you put in your body to fight off all the viruses. In those days instead of  the vaccines they used zinc sulphate gas to fight off the, to use the zinc sulphate gas you had to go in one area with heaps of other people which is the opposite of the isolation. virus but these days we know that the zinc sulphate gas. But after the four years of war people wanted to celebrate, some people tried to ban street parties. In this celebration the death poll results went up.

went overseas to help the soldiers inside France by giving them medical help.  But none of them were really trained to help so they just randomly got people .Only one quarter of them helped them to recover and a third were in New Zealand. The kids  peeled vegetables to make soup. The kids were also able to help deliver food. The adults would make coffins for the dead and also makeshift ambulances. The medical was helping soldiers but some of the medical helpers were unqualified to do it.The little kids peeled vegetables to make soup and help to deliver.Volunteer adults made a coffin for the dead soldiers.And a quarter of doctors and medical staff helped the soldiers. The medical was helping soldiers but some of the medicals/helpers were unqualified. Kids  peeled vegetables to help the troops, when they got hurt or when they were sick. And  The adults made coffins for the people that died. And people were able to help deliver food. At the end of the war there was a flu that hit New Zealand. Other people drove their cars as makeshift ambulances or built coffins for the dead. Lilla was the daughter of the clergyman in Christchurch. by the end of the war, the flu started spreading around New Zealand,  And untrained volunteers and kids started to help. Kids such as boy scouts started and they started delivering food around the city  To help people that are in need. And many people such as doctors were helping soldiers to get cured. when the flu hit a third of the doctors and almost a quarter of the nurses in New Zealand were overseas helping in the war. So adults and kids did some of the jobs boy some built a coffin and made food they also cleaned the dishes boy scouts delivered food to house to house. lilla leach was the daughter of a Clergyman in Christchurch she did work to.

Strain    -Type of something
Claiming  -Real sickness
Severe  -Undesirable   
Haemorrhage - when you bleed inside
Pneumonia  -You're Filled with fluid
Cyanosis  -Skin changes colour.
Fluid - kinda like a water flowing

This flu in 1918 was like the plague because they both go for your lung and then you get less oxygen so your skin changes. The strain was similar to the plague because it changes the skin when they die, the skin changes because the lungs gets flooded with liquid so it is difficult to breathe like the plague but it does not fill up with liquid.

The strain affected ages of 20 to 40 years old.
