What It Was Really Like To Live Through The ‘Spanish Flu’ Pandemic In 1918-1919
Philadelphia topped in the US
How scary it gets when 13,000 people die within a month? Yeah, you heard that right! The city of Philadelphia managed to get the top spot in terms of the number of cases of Spanish flu in 1918. It all started when people heard that the flu was contained within the Boston naval facility, and they came out for a massive parade. It took no time for the flu to capture over 100 people in its grip.
The unavailability of medical professionals and hospitals led to the conversion of churches and armories into shelters for sick people. By the beginning of November, 13,000 people died. Currently, the USA is topping the list of maximum COVID-19 cases with over 800,000 cases.
