Not too much on WWI, but I did see the PBS show on the 1918 flu you mentioned. It's where I got the info I posted above.

In the WWI footage our doughboys were packed into the ships like sardines in a hot can which spread like wildfire and then they went home.
BTW the 1919 influenza outbreak was much worse than the current one except that in the present one it is new, nobody has ever had it before, no antibodies have been built up.
The only good thing about this is that hopefully we will be more educated about airborne and other diseases in the future.

Intentionally... none of the warring countries wanted to show weakness to their foe(s). So their own populations paid the price.
One of the bigger prices was paid by Philadelphia after allowing a scheduled parade to happen. The spike in transmission rate and deaths was one of the biggest in the States.
Ever watch those old B&W WWI or WWII war shows, there was some brutal "stuff" going on there. Especially the WWI trench warfare followed by the packed troop ships going home. Perfect for creating and spreading a pandemic virus.
We finally are paying attention to history and trying not to repeat it......I hope.

I mean, they were using mustard gas etc. Isn't that a form of biological warfare?

Oddly enough l read this just yesterday about the benefits of sunlight and fresh air relative to both 1918 and today. Viruses don’t fare so well in heat and sunlight. Certainly not modern medicine, but cheap and available some days.
