      here for New Zealand, non-Maori population since 1876.
      You can see how females did better in the 1918 pandemic.
      What happened in NZ 1934-1942 ?




      data from:
      Human Mortality Database. University of California, Berkeley (USA), and Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (Germany). Available at www.mortality.org or www.humanmortality.de (data downloaded on [date]).

        Geoffrey Rice in his book Black November

        Suggested that for some reason the men did not catch the first mild wave and had no immunity to the second wave

          here for England and Wales since 1841.
          Peaks for males in WW1 1914-1918 and WW2 1942-1945.
          Almost no Spanish flu in Britain for females !!!
          Just a bad year, but nothing special.
          See also, how males are catching up to females the last 2 decades.
          Pandemic in 1890-1893 and epidemic in 1899-1900 and in 1940

              Re: 1918 Analysis with Charts and Graphs

              I can get the weekly data from the 122 US-cities since 1994
              from here:

              but only as a .gif picture since 2000, so it's not computer-readable.

              does someone know, whether they can be OCRed from batch-file ?

              about 350 .gif files...
              e.g.:


              they have weekly deaths from P+I and weekly deaths from all causes
              for 5 age-groups.

              that would be useful, if these data were available
              in computer-readable form for the public.

              with graphs for the 122 cities and statistics, in which cities
              the peaks are earlier and from where to where the wave
              travels. Maybe later we could also compare with data for health-measures,
              colored population, weather-data, air-traffic, vaccination rates...

                  Re: 1918 Analysis with Charts and Graphs

                  some interesting tables about 1918 here:





                  table 1:
                  US-state,
                  1910 polulation
                  area
                  population density
                  1915 mortality rate
                  1918 mortality rate
                  1919 mortality rate

                  table 2:
                  correlation of density,area with mortality

                  table 3:
                  same as table 1 but for 50 big US-cities

                  table 4:
                  compare city-mortality with state average

                  table 5:
                  mortality 1915 and 1918 by race and city

                  table 6:
                  urban,race proportion of US-population 1890-2000

                  table 7:
                  influenza mortalities 1915-1920 in 7 selected cities

                  table 8:
                  urban vs. rural mortalities 1915-1920 in 5 selected states

                  so, the worse hit in 1915, the worse in 1918.
                  But also, the worse in 1918, the worse in 1919.
                  Immunity from wave 2 was less important than state-predisposition.

                    pneumonia vs. influenza deaths in London

                    I found data from London here:


                    (see mixin's thread about history of influenza)


                    table on pages 4,5 typed into the computer manually :-(
                    They also have Bronchitis which was significant in the elderly and phthisis which
                    was less related to influenza.
                    there are also other tables and text trying to explore the connections of the diseases.

                    You can see, how the waves began with a rise in pneumonia deaths.
                    This is maybe because early in the waves the doctors didn't yet know that a wave
                    was coming so they were more reluctant to diagnose influenza.
                    Or it could be that pneumonia-deaths were relatively more common in the first weeks.

                    You can also see, that the wave2-influenza peek is highest in the 5-20 years group,
                    where it also declines fastest. The older the people, the later in the wave they died
                    and also the more died in wave 3 as compared to wave 2.

                      I discovered I can take pictures and upload some of these charts.

                        1890 is the solid line, 1891 is the broken lines and 1892 is the dotted line.

                          yes, I had seen that too.
                          The question arose at fluwikie, how the recent paper showing
                          that most deaths in 1918 arose from bacterial pneumonia
                          is compatible with the "W-shape", the unique characteristics
                          of 1918-flu killing prevalently the young people <40 of age.

                          Most of the dead young people 5-20 were given influenza
                          as cause of death rather than pneumonia.
                          Of cause, when people die from H1N1-influenza, what else can be
                          the direct cause than pneumonia ? (besides cyanosis)

                            hi gsgs, I don't understand what you mean :

                            Of cause, when people die from H1N1-influenza, what else can be
                            the direct cause than pneumonia ? (besides cyanosis)

                              I mean, people 5-45 years old won't usually die in 1918 from influenza
                              without also having bacterial pneumonia, (I think)
                              Or cyanosis/cytokene storm.

                              So I assume the doctor often had the choice to write
                              "influenza" or "pneumonia" as cause of death.

                                life expectancy Sweden by year of death



                                {1773 famine , 1809 war , 1857 influenza? , 1918 influenza pandemic}


                                hard to imagine that this stable trend since 1950 should suddenly reverse now...
