A Touch of Flu: Centenary of the Spanish Flu Pandemic (360G-Wellcome-207607_Z_17_Z)
Between the early summer of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the ‘Spanish’ influenza (so-called because Spain was the only country not to censor reports of the spreading epidemic) claimed the lives of a quarter of a million Britons. Worldwide, the death toll from the flu has been estimated at fifty million – ten times as many as died in the First World War and ten million more than AIDS has killed in thirty years. Timed for the centenary of the pandemic in 2018, this project is part of an exciting collaboration between the Florence Nightingale Museum, Queen Mary University of London and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. ‘A Touch of Flu’ will combine public engagement with academic excellence and will bring together a touring exhibition, a digital resource and an animated short film.
