  • Q3
    A Worldwide Flu 1 “Flu” is short for influenza. The flu is a common illness. A flu patient often feels sick for a week or more before getting better. Many people get yearly flu shots to stay healthy. 2 At times in history, the flu has been extremely dangerous. In fact, the flu killed more people in one year than the Black Plague did in the 1300s. 3 There are many different kinds of flu. The Spanish Flu was one very deadly strain.In 1918 and 1919, the Spanish Flu spread all around the world. It killed more than 20 million people. Many victims were between the ages of 20 and 40. The flu struck first in Spain. War helped to spread the disease. Soldiers carried it across Europe during World War I. 4 The Spanish Flu began with a high fever, coughing, and sneezing. Then victims became very weak. Their lungs filled with fluid. They could not breathe. Many victims died within three days. 5 During World War I, the Spanish Flu killed more than 40,000 American soldiers. That is nearly as many as the number of troops killed in action. Some of the soldiers who returned to the United States brought the disease back with them. Soon people throughout the country were getting sick. At the time, no one knew what made the flu spread. Luckily, the Spanish Flu died out after 18 months. 6 Since 1918, scientists have learned a lot about the flu. They know that it spreads through germs carried in saliva. They have also developed vaccines that help prevent many strains of flu. However, new forms of the disease still occur. None of them, so far, have been as deadly as the Spanish Flu. According to "A Worldwide Flu", which event happened first?
    Scientists learned how the flu spread.
    The flu spread across Europe.
