The site of origin of the 1918 influenza pandemic and its public health implications
This article from the National Institute of Health describes the Spanish Flu's origins in Kansas in January of 1918. The flu killed far more people than World War I, but may only get a passing mention in US History classes. It deserves more attention
The 1918–1919 influenza pandemic killed more people than any other outbreak of disease in human history. The lowest estimate of the death toll is 21 million, while recent scholarship estimates from 50 to 100 million dead. World population was then only 28% what is today, and most deaths occurred in a sixteen week period, from mid-September to mid-December of 1918.
