In this lab we were assigned to research a disease and write down the history about the disease. The disease I chose was the 1918 flu. I noticed that the 1918 flu killed about 50 to 100 million people and was created by fluid built up in the lungs. The purpose of this lab was to mainly know more about your disease. First I researched about when & where this disease occurred. The answer is in 1918 – 1919, this disease was mainly in Spain. Secondly I researched what the symptoms were and I found that you get a fever, nausea, aches and diarrhea. Finally I searched how it got spread and it said that in world war 1 solders had it and began to spread it. The results of this lab showed that soldiers spread this disease and it killed many people throughout the world. I am confused on how it spread because wouldn’t the soldiers cough in their arm? The main idea of this project was to learn something new. I learned that this killed about 100 million people and it is still going on.
