First, a few quick facts about the Spanish Flu. The flu didn’t originate in Spain. Remember, this was 1918, the First World War was still on. Three countries – US, Britain and France had the flu before Spain, but managed to keep it out of newspapers to “avoid damaging morale”, Laura Spinney reported in a recent article in The Guardian. Spain, however, was neutral, so it didn’t censor its press. And because ‘news’ of the flu was first reported in Spain, it got called the Spanish Flu.
