In 1918, a new influenza virus emerged. During this same time period World War I (thế chiến 1) was taking place. The conditions of World War I (overcrowding and global troop movement: di chuyển quân toàn cầu) helped the 1918 flu spread. The vulnerability (mức độ dễ tổn thương) of healthy young adults (thanh niên khỏe mạnh) and the lack of vaccines and treatments created a major public health crisis, causing at least 50 million deaths worldwide, including approximately 675,000 in the United States. Below is a historical timeline of major events that took place during this time period.

...The second wave of flu emerges at Camp Devens, a United States Army training camp just outside of Boston, and at a naval facility in Boston.

Between September and November, a second wave of flu peaks in the United States. This second wave is highly fatal (chết người, nghiêm trọng), and responsible for most of the deaths attributed to the pandemic (dịch bệnh).

New York City’s Board of Health adds flu to the list of reportable diseases, and requires all flu cases to be isolated (bị cách ly, cô lập) at home or in a city hospital.

By the end of September, more than 14,000 flu cases are reported at Camp Devens—equaling about one-quarter of the total camp, resulting in 757 deaths.
