Original Title: TIL how horrific the 1918 global flu pandemic was, lasting just 15 months but killing 50 to 100 million people worldwide. Many would die within hours. Horrible symptoms, not just aches & cyanosis but also a foamy blood coughed up from the lungs, & bleeding from the nose, ears & even eyes.
