People were terrified during the Spanish Flu of 1918. Fifty Million, 50,000,000, Died.
As a young High School student in Central Pennsylvania, I was shocked to hear there had been a pandemic in that century. Oral histories are important. Philadelphia had been a hot spot, Pennsylvania people didn't forget. We've talked about the famous girl twins. What we didn't say - people wondered if it was the Rapture. One baby twin in the pram was dead, the other baby alive. We discussed if there had been any good news in the Pandemic. So much of the military was employed due to World War I, Boston Hospital was an open air, tent, hospital and had the best results.
Part of this would be due to a protocol Doctors have put in place in Emergency Rooms across the Nation. If the patient can truthfully have good news, the patient is going to be told the positive comments of the best news. Studies has proven if a professional medical person believes good results, then the patient will as well.
The Boston Hospital patients surely believed the dying would Not be propped up outside. The Power of Good News.
Optimism and Faith - create Life.
During Covid 19, sunlight and exercise has proven to highly boost immune systems. We are finding more people in Los Angeles, 5%, have had the Covid virus asymptomatically. I'd only vote to have Covid this way.
Medical Supplies were already gathered, preparing for a world at war in World War I. Medical staff and nurses worked to keep everyone sanitized and masked. Because of the need of massive hospital beds, many military tents were used. Boston Hospital was an open air, tent, hospital and had the best results.
Quinine, which will cause bleeding, blood thinning and heart problems (should not be taken ever as a preventative) was part of the recovery efforts of the Spanish Flu.
Malaise was a great part of the Spanish Flu. Massive depression. Secondary Bacterial infections in an era of no antibiotics.
Luke 1: 77-79
To give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will visit us from heaven
79 to shine on those living
in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
John 1:4-5
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Matthew 17:2
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
Isaiah 9:2
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
Abba,
Your Mercies bring Joy every day. Today we understand even better, the Blessing in Numbers 6 Moses was asked to give to the Children of Israel. We pray Your Face to Shine upon us.
Jesus to shine in us, Living in us, The Beloved Children of God.
Bless the Hospital Staff giving lined up Parades to the Recovering Patients. So glad to hear the 26 year old Lacrosse young man received his Victory Parade as he Recovered.
Everyday His Mercies Renew in Jesus Christ, Live in us, Jesus! Amen.
Paul was known to raise his hand to the sky to pray for
the Beloved Children of God.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
