The Spanish flue The Spanish flue was an unusually difficult and deadly form of flue, which spread all over the world in the end of and after the first world war. Its source is unknown. Most of the casualties were young adults, who otherwise were at good health. Normally in flu epidemics there are instead children, old adults and persons with a decreased immune system who are worst affected. The pandemic lasted between Mars 1918 and June 1920 and reached both Arctic and remoted islands in the pacific. Between 50 and 100 million people died, which make the Spanish flue the deadliest pandemic, that lasted such a short time, in the history of humanity.

The Spanish flu

The Spanish flu was an unusually difficult and deadly form of flu, which spread all over the world at the end of, and after the first world war. Its source is unknown. Most of the casualties were young adults, who otherwise were in good health. Normally in flu epidemics, children, old people and those with a decreased immune system are worst affected.

The pandemic lasted between March 1918 and June 1920 and reached both the Arctic and remote islands in the pacific. Between 50 and 100 million people died, which makes the Spanish flu the deadliest pandemic in the history of humanity - even though it only lasted a short time.

Well done Emanuel ... this is a well written short article and I hope the corrections help.

"old adults" is correct, but "the elderly" sounds better

humanity is correct, but I like the phrase "in the history of mankind".

difficult - you are looking for some other word here. I think "insidious" is a good word to descirbe such a disease.

the - I think there should be a "the"

I would change "children, old adults and people with a weakened immune system" to "children, the old and infirm" which has more of a natural ring to it.
