They examined skeletons of people who died from the flu for skeletal lesions, indicative of preexisting lingering health conditions such as tuberculosis, cancer, or nutritional issues and compared them to skeletons of people who died from something other than the flu.
So it's like COVID where the vast majority of the deaths are from people with pre-existing health issues?
This is fascinating because it's contrary to everything I've read over the years about the Spanish Flu.
It isn't too surprising though because there was so much turmoil in the world at the time and basic sanitation as well as health care was nothing like now.
Any links for me to read up on this?
