Newspapers killed stories quoting the medical community saying, dont do it. So 48 hours later, influenza exploded around the city. The result is, its one of the hardest hit cities in the world. And the mass graves being dug by shovels and so forth. How many people died . About 14,500 in philadelphia. Reporter compare the signs that went up then to now. Notice that hand washing wasnt mentioned. Americans could see for themselves, in spite of what they were told. They thought they were less likely to catch the flu outside. They did whatever they could given what they didnt know. Back in 1918, they had no idea what it was that they were suffering from and what it was they were being killed by. And to me, thats the most frightening aspect of the 1918 epidemic. Reporter dr. Jeremy brown is director of Emergency Care research at the National Institutes of health. But spoke to us in a personal capacity. Viruses would not be discovered for another 15 or 20 years. Thats very different to today. We know what it is that is causing the disease. Reporter brown has written extensively about influenza and argues that 2020 will not be another 1918, thanks to advances in science. Back in 1918, the basic treatments that were offered were enemas, whiskey and blood letting. Hospitals, as we know them today, were quite different. There were no intensive care doctors who really understand how to treat the very sickest patients. There were no antibiotics to treat any secondary infection. So it was a very, very different time and a very different way of practicing medicine back then. Reporter but for john berry, there is a takeaway from then that still applies. The biggest lesson from the 1918 pandemic is clearly to tell the truth. What are the consequences if the truth isnt told . I think more people will die, yeah. Clearly that was the case in this morning, were remembering a hero of world war ii who passed away last week. Rosalind walter was the inspiration behind rosie the riveter.

Rosie the riveter was based on the very real Rosalind Walter who died in manhattan this week at the age of 95. She was just 19 when she volunteered to take a job on the night shift of a Connecticut Assembly line. It was a graveyard shift. It was 6 30 at night to 5 30 in the morning with two tenminute breaks and a half hour for dinner. It was a very tough shift. Reporter she may have toiled in anonymity, but in 1942 walter was profiled in a local newspaper article, and that inspired songwriters redd evans and john jacob lobe to pin the tune rosie the riveter. Which became a huge radio hit. Shes making history working for victory rosie the riveter reporter the inspiring tune and story put rosie on recruiting posters portrayed by different models but always with the rolled up sleeves and head scarf that became her trademark. After the war, walter found other ways to make the world a better place. So she devoted her attention and her familys fortune to an emerging form of education, public television, becoming one of the main benefactors of pbs. She was the biggest funder in e had the soul of a producer. She waa for talent. She understood stories. She had a real passion for quality, and yet, she was incredibly humble. Reporter over the years, walters contributions finance countless programs, including great performances, american masters and the acclaimed documentaries of filmmaker ken burns. She was very proud of what she did during the war. And very proud of the sacrifices she made. Though when you asked her how demanding it was, she would be a little humble.
