1918-1919 年流感大流行是有史以来最严重的自然灾害之一。在一年多一点的时间里，这种疾病影响了数亿人，并导致 50 至 1 亿人死亡。 1919 年，当这种疾病最终抵达澳大利亚时，已造成 12,000 多人死亡。虽然死亡率低于许多其他国家，但这场大流行是一场重大的人口和社会悲剧，影响了数百万澳大利亚人的生活。本文简要评估了这一流行病对澳大利亚和新南威尔士州的影响，特别是人口和社会影响以及为遏制疫情而采取的措施。
The 1918-1919 influenza pandemic stands as one of the greatest natural disasters of all time. In a little over a year the disease affected hundreds of millions of people and killed between 50 and 100 million. When the disease finally reached Australia in 1919 it caused more than 12,000 deaths. While the death rate was lower than in many other countries, the pandemic was a major demographic and social tragedy, affecting the lives of millions of Australians. This paper briefly assesses the impact of the pandemic on Australia and NSW with particular reference to the demographic and social impact and the measures advanced to contain it.
