The First Wave of Influenza in the United States

Many people believe the 19 18 outbreak in the united states first began at an army camp in kansas. The post mortem exam of the victim showed a kind of soggy lung. But in general, most americans didn't notice it. And so once it strikes in camp fonston, soldiers presumably are moving about the country. By april, it spread to the british and german forces. By may, the french troops are infected. In july, citizens all over the continent of europe would be infected with this first wave.
