How can you catch Spanish influenza?

Answer 1

The Spanish flu was spread like any type of influenza is spread. Mostly through direct contact person to person or through contact with the respiratory droplets released when an infected person coughs or sneezes, since the virus particles can be in the droplets. See the related questions below for more information on how flu is spread and what you can do to avoid getting it.

The Spanish Influenza occurred in June 1918-December 1920 during WW1. This disease spread rapidly killing over 1.3% of our population. It was a true pandemic, since it spread world wide.

Answer 2

You probably can't, since this type of influenza died out in the wild after it was a pandemic in 1918 during WW1. It killed many millions of people world wide and was named the Spanish flu because it was first reported in Spanish newspapers at the time during the war when most newspapers were no longer being published due to the war. It was thought to have most likely started in the US and then spread worldwide as troops in the war moved from country to country and home and back to the war, allowing more spread of the disease.

When it was being spread, it was contracted the same way flu viruses are spread today, see the related questions for more information.
