There are several. Just type in 1918 pandemic flu documentary within youtube. I posted one earlier in the main Covid-19 topic.
The best ones are a little older as they have survivor eyewitness testimony.
People would get sick, and within a day, they would die. It was pretty common to.immediately start making coffins for your infected family member for this reason. In fact, lots of white guys voluntarily made coffins because whole families were decimated.
White ladies frequently risked theirlives, and volunteered as practical nurses in the hastily assembled field hospitals. They would also are for the orphans or the children of the sick. Believe it or not, some were wealthy. At the time, some fell a social obligation to care for the impoverished, the immigrants, the uneducated, etc.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59029940 My grandmother lost her first husband and one lung to the 1918 spanish flu. She survived to have 5 kids and lived to be about 94 or 5. She told me that soda pop would give me sugar diabetes. She was right.
