Question

What was the short term impact of the Spanish Flu on Religion?

Answer 1

If we rely on the estimate of 50 million deaths published by johnson and mueller ,it implies that the spanish flu killed 2.7% of the world population .By the end of 1918 some 83% of those ever reported to be ill to the medical authorities haf contracted the disease, and 80% of the death.

Answer 2

The 1918 influenza pandemic had not only a massive instant death toll but also lasting effects on its survivors. Several studies have shown that children born in 1919, and thus exposed to the H1N1 virus in utero, experienced worse health and socioeconomic outcomes in older ages than surrounding birth cohorts.
