流行性感冒 has been with us a long time According to some Greek writers on medical history the outbreak of 412 BC was of influenza The same has been suggested of the sickness that swept through the Greek army attacking Syracuse in 395 BC Flu is a disease that moves most quickly among people living in crowded conditions hence it is likely to attack armies In April 1918 flu broke out among American troops stationed in France It quickly spread through all the armies but caused relatively few deaths Four months later however a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer It killed not only the old and already sick but also healthy young adults It went through every country in the world only a few distant islands in the South Atlantic and the Pacific remaining untouched Before the great outbreak ended 用心 爱心 专心 5 it had killed at least 15 million people Medical science is still not certain what hit us in 1918 The virus of influenza 流感病毒 was not found until 1933 so all that today can
