Ah, yes, but that shows you just how far medicine has come in 80 years - I don't think they even had a reliable form of aspirin in 1918, and they didn't understand as much about dehydration as we do. All the over-the-counter meds that we use to "cope" with the flu are newer than 1918, and people still die from it every year. Thankfully, these days it's more rare, and usually it's people with weaker immune systems to begin with (i.e., the elderly, the terminally/chronically ill, the very young) My grandfather contracted the flu, and it contributed to his death (not the sole cause, but it was what sent him to the hospital at the end)How can you die from the flu? I've had the flu before and felt so sick that I wanted to die...but still!
