Spanish Flu: History's Deadliest Pandemic

It's 100 years since a deadly outbreak of Spanish Flu infected half of the world's popultion and killed millions of people, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history. Back then there was no cure for this type of Avian Influenza and doctors were at a loss to know how to prevent or treat it. Good nursing was the only thing that helped and therefore it was typically women that bore the brunt of trying to halt the deadly disease. The Florence Nightgale Museum is inviting Londoners to journey back in time to a field hospital in 1918 and explore the experiences of those that lived and died during the pandemic in human history, and discover if a similarly devastating pandemic could happen again today.
