            deaths by age would be more suitable to detect the 1918 virus
            because of the unusual age-structure



            the indents in February are presumably due to the 28days only and don't mark a 2nd virus' wave
            in Mar,April we often see flu-B in modern times

              BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, LOBAR PNEUMONIA)

              charts 14,9 show a simultaneous start of the 2nd wave in the European
              and American US-military-camps in August 1918

              It is evident that both in this country and in Europe the rates for respiratory disease
              began to rise at least as early as the month of August and that the rise was practically
              simultaneous in the two forces

              .... how soldiers of rural origin was related to greater prevalence

              attributed to immunity because
              > in general, cities suffered from the influenza epidemic more than did the rural communities.

              they should have recorded in some test population how many of the influenza/pneumonia cases
              had flu,pneumonia before, i.e. in the 1889/90 pandemic

              Journal of the American Medical Association for
              16th November 1918

              The horses belonging to the civil population did not escape, and
              according to trustworthy reports in some localities nearly every
              horse was attacked by the prevalent malady.
              In certain villages
              around Mirecourt, all the horses suffered from bad coughs at
              the very time that human influenza was raging at its worst in
              the locality.
              The horse epizootic began in April, it attained
              its height in August and September, and was declining in
              November ; its curve was similar to that of the human epidemic.
              • M. L. Martin, Assistant Director of the Paris Pasteur Institute,
              has stated that the mortality of the horses in the stables of that
              Institute in 1918 had been much higher than usual.
              It was
              mentioned by some of the older French veterinary surgeons that
              in 1889 there was a recrudescence of the " gourme " affections
              among horses at the time that influenza was epidemic among
              the human population.


              Raymond Pearl, of Baltimore, has found a substantial correla-
              tion between the influenzal death rate of 1918 in American
              cities and the general death rates in those cities for 1916 ;*


              the positive
              correlation between the summer arid winter death rates from
              influenza, and the absence of any correlation between the
              autumn and winter influenzal death rates.
