1918 Spanish Flu\nMarch 11, 1918: An Army private at Fort Riley, Kansas reports to the camp hospital complaining of fever, sore throat, and headache. Before the day is over, over 100 soldiers fall sick. \n\nJuly 1918: Public health officials in Philadelphia issue a warning about what they call the "Spanish influenza".\n\nAug. 27, 1918: Sailors stationed aboard the Receiving Ship at Commonwealth Pier in Boston begin reporting to the sick bay with cold symptoms. \n\nAug. 30, 1918: At least 60 sailors aboard the Receiving Ship fall sick.\n\nSeptember 1918: Dr. Victor Vaughn, acting Surgeon General of the Army, receives urgent orders to proceed to Camp Devens near Boston. Once there, what Vaughn sees stuns him: "I saw hundreds of young stalwart men in uniform coming into the wards of the hospital. Every bed was full, yet others crowded in. The faces wore a bluish cast; a cough brought up the blood-stained sputum. In the morning, the dead bodies are stacked about the morgue like cordwood." That day, 63 men die of influenza. \n\nSept. 5, 1918: The Massachusetts Department of Health informs local newspapers that they are dealing with an epidemic. A doctor with the Massachusetts State Health Department says, "unless precautions are taken the disease in all probability will spread to the civilian population of the city."\n\nSept. 24, 1918: Edward Wagner, newly transplanted from Chicago, falls ill with the flu. This flies in the face of San Francisco public health officials who had played down the threat of the flu to the public.\n\nSept. 28, 1918: 200,000 gather for a 4th Liberty Loan Drive in Philadelphia. Days after the parade, 635 new cases of influenza were reported. Within days, the city will be forced to admit that epidemic conditions exist. Churches, schools, and theaters are ordered closed, along with all other places of "public amusement."\n\nOct. 2, 1918: By the point, the death toll in Boston is 202. The Liberty Bond parades are cancelled as well as all sporting events. The stock market goes on half-days.\n\nOct. 3, 1918: The epidemic reaches Seattle, Washington, with 700 cases and one death at the University of Washington Naval Training Station.\n\nOct. 6, 1918: Philadelphia records 289 influenza-related deaths in a single day.\n\nOct. 7, 1918: New Mexico, which had remained largely untouched by the influenza, reports its first case. \n\nOct. 11, 1918: Santa Fe, New Mexico reports its first flu-related death. \n\nMid-Oct.: In a single day, 851 New Yorkers die. The death rate in Philly for the period of a single week is 700 times the average. The Chicago crime rate drops 43 percent. \n\nOct. 19, 1918: In Philadelphia, Dr. C.Y. White announces he has developed a preventative vaccine. More than 10,000 complete series of inoculations are sent to the Philadelphia Board of Health. \n\nOct. 29, 1918: Six-ply gauze masks become mandatory in Seattle. \n\nOct. 30, 1918: Six-ply gauze masks become mandatory in the entire state of Washington. \n\nOct. 31 1918: Because of the Influenza Pandemic that grips the nation, most Halloween celebrations are cancelled due to quarantines. One Illinois paper reports: "The ghost parties, masquerades and dances which have always been so popular at this time of the year, are as scarce as the corn and eggs, not because of Mr. Hoover, but because of Mr. Influenza. Many parties which have been planned for Friday and Saturday night have been postponed as the quarantine will not be lifted before next Monday. But not all of the Halloween spirit has been killed by the influenza. Crowds of boys and girls have been using ticktacks on the windows, tearing down gates and and beating the porches with planks , for the last three nights, and they are all prepared to be out tonight, so be not surprised if you hear mysterious noise tonight."\n\nEnd of October: October 1918 ends up being the deadliest month in the history of the United States, with 195,000 Americans su

Victor Jara.\n\nHe was a Chilean songwriter / political activist, who supported the government of Salvador Allende.  When the military overthrew Allende, Jara was rounded up with thousands of others and brought to the stadium in Santiago, where he was beaten and tortured.  Within a few days he was machine-gunned to death.

TRUE\n\nChicken pox = varicella zoster virus (VZV)\nMeasles = rubeola virus (paramyxovirus family)\nMumps = mumps virus (paramyxovirus family)\n\nThere are vaccines for ALL (yes, even for chicken pox now) so they are all preventable viral infections.

I caught the FLU for the first time ever last Feb.  It was a nightmare.  I couldn't move much because my body ached so badly headaches ,  in and out of conciousness.  I hope I never have to go through that again.

Pasteur, he was a virologist who not only invented pastuerization but discovered many things about bacteria that are still in use today.  Google him.

Depends what the vacccination is. Some of them are said to have illness connected to them, but a lot of them have not been proved yet.

Yes, I know that Washington University School of Medicine is presently working on a vaccine and drugs for derailing HSV-1 and HSV 2. Do I believe that Boigetica has the cure? No. That would be front page news everywhere. The scientists at that company would never have to work again.....It would be like Smallpox....BIG news, eradicated! (only to come sweeping back through)

This is a weird disease and is often misdiagnosed.  In fact it is more the rule than the exception that this is misdiagnosed.My mother came down with it after the flu shots were started. Has your father had the \nflu shot ? The drug companies now have insurance to cover this eventuality. Contact the drug company that made the shot. Maybe they will give you some help with the medical bills. My mother had that over twenty years ago and I didn't know she had had the oral vaccine when it first came out. If I had that knowledge I would have advised her to contact the manufacturer.  As it was my parents did not have Medical insurance. And they used up their life savings paying the hospital bill.  She was hospitalized for a month but that was over 20 yrs. ago when there was no treatment for this disease.  The prognosis is as weird as the disease. It is the only neurology disease that you can fully recover from.  However some people are left with permanent effects that range from a mild limp to paraplegia.That was at the time of the unknown treatment.  My mother was left with a dropped left foot. She had some permanent neuropathy. The treatment should prevent your father from having any permanent residuals.  He is lucky to get it now that it is more recognized. I could go on at length about this disease but this should give you a handle on this polio like disease.

Results have been presented yesterday, Wednesday, in a press conference held in the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Speakers included Prof. Hannoun, Emeritus Professor at the Pasteur Institute and Dr. Mumcuoglu, developer of Sambucol®. \n\nLaboratory trials held in a leading research institute, Retroscreen Virology \nLtd, associated with the University of London found Sambucol® to be at least \n99% effective against the Avian Flu virus H5N1. Sambucol® was effective at \nsignificantly neutralising the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures. These \nresults will also be presented during the International Conference on Bird Flu: \n“The First Pandemic of the 21st Century. A Central Role for Antivirals”, to be \nheld at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on January 19th-20th 2006. \n\nDr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, is looking into further investigations into the \nactivity of Sambucol® against Avian Flu on a wider scale. \n\nIn an earlier study (1995) Sambucol® was found to be effective against a wide range of influenza strains. Laboratory studies conducted at the Hebrew \nUniversity – Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem demonstrated the activity \nof Sambucol® against human, swine, and avian influenza strains. \nSambucol®'s efficacy was also demonstrated in two double blind, placebo \ncontrolled clinical studies. Sambucol® was shown to cut the duration and \nseverity of the common flu by up to half. \n\nENDS \n\nNotes to editors; \nSambucol® is based on an active substance isolated from the black elderberry. \nManufactured by Razei Bar Industries Israel, Sambucol® is available in 17 \ncountries and in the UK is sold in Tesco, leading chemists, independent health \nfood stores and wholesalers from £8.49. \n\nFor photography please visit the following site and enter the log in details: \nFTP address: ftp://pixelit.co.il \nuser name: ftp_razeibar \npassword: 63+84675 \n\n\nFor further press information please contact: Francesca Gaffey/Cheryl Davies, \nCommunique Public Relations, Waterside, No2 Canal Street, Manchester, M1 \n3HE.

Chickenpox is a common disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which is part of the herpesvirus family. Although many people associate the word herpes with genital herpes, the herpesvirus family is made up of nearly 100 kinds of viruses, eight of which cause disease in humans. Examples of different herpesviruses are herpes simplex virus (which causes cold sores and genital herpes infections), Epstein-Barr virus (which causes infectious mononucleosis), and varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox and shingles). Varicella-zoster virus spreads in the air through coughs or sneezes or through contact with fluid from inside the chickenpox blisters. \n\nChickenpox, which occurs most often in the late winter and early spring, is very contagious - if exposed to an infected family member, about 80% to 90% of those in a household who haven't had chickenpox will get it. However, immunization of children with the chickenpox vaccine that's now available is expected to decrease cases of the disease dramatically over the next few years. \n\nAlthough it's more common in kids under the age of 15, anyone can get chickenpox. A person usually has only one episode of chickenpox in his or her lifetime. But the virus that causes chickenpox can lie dormant within the body and can cause a different type of skin eruption later in life called shingles, also referred to as herpes-zoster. \n\n\n\nSigns and Symptoms\nChickenpox is a viral infection that causes a red, itchy rash on the skin. The chickenpox rash usually appears first on the abdomen or back and face, and then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body, including the scalp, mouth, nose, ears, and genitals. \n\nThe rash begins as multiple small, red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites. They develop into thin-walled blisters filled with clear fluid, which then becomes cloudy. The blister wall breaks, leaving open sores, which finally crust over to become dry, brown scabs. One of the most characteristic features of the chickenpox rash is that all stages of the lesions can be present at the same time. \n\nChickenpox blisters are about a quarter to half an inch wide, have a reddish base, and appear in bouts over 2 to 4 days. Some children have only a few blisters, whereas others have several hundred. The rash may be more extensive or severe in kids who have skin disorders such as eczema.\n\nSome children have a fever, abdominal pain, or a vague sick feeling a day or 2 before the rash appears. These symptoms may last for a few days, and fever stays in the range of 100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 to 38.8 degrees Celsius), although it may occasionally be higher. Younger children often have milder symptoms and fewer blisters than older children or adults.\n\nNormally, chickenpox is a mild illness, but certain groups of people are more likely to have a more severe illness that could lead to complications. These include infants, adolescents, adults, and people with weak immune systems from either illnesses or from medications such as long-term steroid use. The most common complication of severe chickenpox illness in these groups of people is a bacterial infection that can involve many sites of the body including the skin around the blisters, bones, lungs, joints, and the blood. Other serious complications are due to the virus itself infecting the organs and include viral pneumonia, bleeding problems, and inflammation of the brain (encephalitis).\n\nAnyone who has had chickenpox as a child is at risk for a complication later in life called shingles. After an infection, some of the varicella-zoster virus may remain inactive in nerve cells near the spinal cord. Many years later, the virus can reactivate and resurface as shingles. When it reactivates, it affects the nerve to the skin. Symptoms, such as a tingling feeling, itching, or pain followed by a rash with red bumps and blisters appear only in the area of the skin that the nerve goes to. \n\nContagiousness

I am white and American but have eaten raw shell fish in the past and had unprotected sex in the 70's. I have been tested four times due to these factors. I am lucky, my test came back negative but I have not been vaccinated as I do not practice either of those two habits any longer and the shots are not suggested for people with AOPID.

chicken pox and influenza (both respiratory infections).  however, i wouldn't say they spread "by air" but rather by aerosols coughed up by an infected person.
