Thank you Dr. for this treatise . It will be information we can all use going forward. My wife's mother graduated a nursing diploma school in 1918 in Iowa and was asked to go to Vermillion, S. Dakota to help with the Spanish flu. She went from farm to farm, house to house applying poltices and using other means to help treat patients. She never lost one. Medicine was rudimentary in those days but through old tried and true applications peoples lives were saved and they ended up healthier against other viruses for it.
As I posted earlier malnutrition played a role in the flu's outcome and country folk were probably better off in that regard than city from dwellers because that war affected food supplies here as well. So yeah the old tried and true was the best treatment then available
