    Re: analysis by Frost, Sydenstricker

    does someone want to share his contribution to (pre?)pandemic
    research by typing the numbers into computer ?

    I already did the Massachusetts, NY, SF, Cleveland data.

    The last big table with the US-cities would be useful ,
    flu-cases and inhabitants needed. So we can make
    urban/rural statistics, which way it spread,
    how much delaying did work etc.

    San Francisco almost always peaks in December, while East coast often have a Feb.,Mar. high.
    2 peaks could mean two strains, flu-A and flu-B or 2 different H3s, H3N8, or even H2,H1 ?
    The panflu-strain could have been present years before 1918.

      How interesting, gsgs! Do you mean into an Excel spreadsheet? I don't have time just at the moment, but if no one else gets to it first, I might have time later today (say in 8-10 hours from now). Which table(s) were you thinking of?

        no Excel, just plain text or html. Send email or post.

        They have lots of tables, at the moment
        I was thinking at the last one with the
        cities.

        But we also need the inhabitants in 1918.
        And the geographical coordinates.
        Needn't be 100% exact, not all the cities needed.

        So, the names, flu-cases in 1918, flu-deaths in 1918.
        The other data should be available somewhere...

                  hey, thanks !

                  I also found coordinates of ~2000 US-cities and 1918-population
                  of ~250 US-cities , I hope the spellings are correct and
                  I can merge the data.

                  I also sent email to Calif. state library and will send one to NC-state library.
                  The data (monthly deaths by city) exists, just not computer readable.

                  Could be useful to examine seasonality too.
                  Apparantly San Francisco has milder flu due to better clima,
                  12?C in winter vs. 0?C at East coast.
                  Hmm, maybe weather-data for the cities can be collected too...

                  NC library has other interesting 1918 data too,
                  see here:



                  click the bars on the left for many further documents from 1918.

                  e.g. this one:

                    Cool! Lemme know if you need more typing/transcribing -- I'm a pretty fast typist. That took me just about an hour, so not so bad.

                      yes, I found some more data, e.g. monthly from 1918,1919
                      or state - data.

                      But maybe OCR is possible and let me wait what the library people say,
                      what I can get...
                      They definately have deaths from all causes, maybe even weekly ,
                      that's useful for 1918. But for the other years I want influenza/pneumonia
                      deaths.




                      ----------------------------------------------



                      page 2 , cities - table --###done
                      page 3f, together with 28f : deaths per state rural vs. cities, influenza and all deaths , 4 numbers per state
                      page 12-13 , total deaths 1919 by month and city


                      same for 1918 :

                      presumably other years are in the library too


                      page 6
                      6 cities, autumn 1918, weekly



                      page 4f , cases 1920 by city, weekly
                      page7f , excess influenza by cities, 1918, 12weeks



                      age and sex and races data not yet considered. Could be useful to determine whether the
                      virus has changed, how much pre-1918 was similar to 1918 or nowadays H3N2



                      page5 , weekly 1918, 13 British cities
                      page6 , weekly 1918 , 14 European and Indian cities
                      page13 , weekly 1917,1918 , London,Paris,Dublin


                      compare with weather data ! Or other weather dependent disease



                      influenza+pneumonia is preferred, not just influenza.
                      Some cities include influenza-->pneumonia deaths
                      in the influenza statistics, some in the pneumonia statistics.

                        OK, there were some errors and my coordinates-data was
                        bad, but finally I have 398 cities with coordinates,
                        1918 flu-cases and mortality now.
                        No weather and population data yet adapted for computer-reading.

                        As as a first test, see below for 1918-mortality. This probably
                        has been done before, but the data was not public, now it is.



                        I hope, you can recognize the shape of the USA.
                        The length of the bars is proportional to the CFR.
                        Only larger cities with >1000 cases. Madison,WI had
                        particularly high CFR :399 cases, 234 deaths (error?)

                          Madison is the capital of the state of Wisconsin and there is a large university there (founded in 1848). Maybe either of these, or both, have to do with the high CFR. ??

                          Also, there was a Camp Randall in Madison -- actually on the university grounds. It was a U.S. Civil War prison camp that was used for training during WWI -- perhaps a lot of soldiers fell ill and died there?:

                            only 400 cases in Madison, seems that not many people lived there
                            in 1918 despite the University and camp.
                            Princeton did particularly well in 1918, AFAIR.

                            OK, I typed in the yearly flu-death-rates for 50 cities.

                            all correlations are positive.
                            1916 correlation with earlier years is lower.
                            1918 also, while 1918 with 1916 is higher than with other earlier years.
                            This could indicate, that the 1916 outbreak was a mixture
                            of H3N8(?) and H1N1 already, so 1918 H1N1 or similar virus
                            would have been around already in 1916 and the 1916
                            outbreak was already a change, which was then dramatically
                            completed in 1918.

                            Monthly data would be more useful here , also pneumonia+influenza
                            instead of pneumonia only.
                            Also maybe comparing with pre-1889 data.
                            I'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates

                              I FOUND ANOTHER ANALYSIS BY SELWYN D. COLLINS, Ph.D.
                              (US NAVY)

                              It has a LOT of charts, which I don't know how to post. Maybe someone could start another thread under Collins name?
                              It has nice charts for Influenza/pneumonia, 1887-1956:

                              http://www.history.navy.mil/library/...za_collins.htm

                              There are 3 kinds of people: those who can post charts & those who can't.
