1918a numbrid
täpselt ei tea keegi, kui palju inimesi hispaania grippi suri, aasta oli 1918 ja sõda .. sõjaväelaste andmed on olemas ja arenenud maadest ka enamvähem, aasia kohta andmed puuduvad
prognooside kohaselt 50-100 miljonit inimest
tundub noh, mõõdukas arv, eksole :D sõjad jne
aga mõelge sellele, et tollal oli maailmas vaid üks miljard inimest, 50-100 miljonit võetuna suhtarvuna on 5-10%
praegu on ca kuus ja pool miljardit - ja vastavalt 5-10% sellest numbrist on 325-700 miljonit
üle poole inimestest elab praegu aasias, suhteliselt väikesel territooriumil tihedalt koos
erinevus elutingimustes aasia maapiirkondades ja aafrikas ei erine oluliselt 1918.aastast ilmselt
kaasaegne meditsiin? on arenenud, tõepoolest, eriti valges maailmas :)
aga tugineb eeskätt kaasaegsetele ravimitele, aparaatidele, kaitsevahenditele, materjalidele .. ja on väga kallis, seetõttu ära optimeeritud, üleliigseid varuressursse ei ole kellelgi (va ehk usa, venemaa, hiina sõjaväel),
see kehtib nii haiglavoodite arvu kui ravimivarude suhtes - kasutamata ressursi hoidmine on liiga kallis
Spanish flu link
The Spanish Flu Pandemic, also known as La Grippe Espagnole, or La Pesadilla, was an unusually severe and deadly strain of avian influenza, a viral infectious disease, that killed some 50 million to 100 million people worldwide over about a year in 1918 and 1919.
It is thought to have been one of the most deadly pandemics so far in human history.jap, levinud väide :) aga - jäetakse täpsustamata, et inimohvrite absoluutarvult, mitte suhtarvult .. vt ka teisi maailma ajaloo pandeemiaid link
1918a gripipandeemiast edasi:
It was caused by the H1N1 type of influenza virus, which is similar to bird flu of today, mainly H5N1 and H5N2.The Allies of World War I called it the "Spanish Flu". This was mainly because the pandemic received greater press attention in Spain than in the rest of the world, because Spain was not involved in the war and there was no wartime censorship. Although the virus certainly did not originate in Spain, the country did have one of the worst early outbreaks of the disease, with some 8 million people infected in May 1918. It was also described as "only the flu" or "the grippe" by public health officials seeking to prevent panic.
The Spanish flu might have contributed to the end of World War I. More people (20-40 million on both sides) died from the Spanish flu during World War I than were killed in the conflict.
