      Spanish Flu was heavily censored. Corona may be the most documented global event in human history.

      I’ve read several books on it at this point. I don’t get the sense that it was censored so much as overshadowed by WWI.

          It was heavily censored. And also left out of textbooks.

          Didn't the name itself, "Spanish Flu," result directly from the censorship he's referencing?

          Censorship might be more accurate, because even countries like India - far more impacted by the disease than the war - don't talk about it to this day. The country lost between 15-20 million (~ 6% of its erstwhile population) to the flu.

          One doesn't rule out the other. Most of the public attention was drawn towards WWI, yet during war time the media used to be strongly censored. You end up with a lack of reliable sources. Many stories from that time are based on personal experiences

          Some diarys mention infections through food cans from Spain Countries gave it different names, none of it based on medical evidence. Germans called it Blitzkatarrh. The virus was discovered in 1933, which indicates the speed of scientific development.
