The Spanish flu pandemic is the catastrophe against which all modern pandemics are measured. Many people died from this very quickly. Some people who felt well in the morning became sick by noon, and were dead by nightfall. Those who did not succumb to the disease within the first few days often died of complications from the flu (such as pneumonia) caused by bacteria. One of the most unusual aspects of the Spanish flu was its ability to kill young adults.  2, record 1, English, - Spanish%20influenza

La influenza española recibió ese nombre porque España sufrío un brote temprano y agudo, pero no se originó allí. Su verdadero origen permanece incierto. La primera cepa fue lo bastante leve para que la mayoría de las fuerzas militares de la Primera Guerra Mundial la descartaran, considerándola una molestia pasajera. En cambio, cuando la segunda cepa atacó a Norteamérica en el verano de 1918, el virus causó una ola de muertes.  1, record 1, Spanish, - influenza%20espa%C3%B1ola
