1918年的流感大流行造成5000多万人死亡。为什么1918年是一个例外？内水布鲁尔是第一次世界大战期间弗吉尼亚州汉弗莱斯营地的美国陆军医生，他调查了几个可能增加严重流感风险的因素：在军队服役的时间、种族、脏盘子、苍蝇、灰尘、拥挤和天气。过度拥挤突出，增加了10倍的流感风险和5倍的流感并发肺炎的风险。根据Brewer的数据进行的计算显示，过度拥挤和严重流感之间的总体关系非常显著（P
The influenza pandemic of 1918 killed more than 50 million people. Why was 1918 such an outlier? I.W. Brewer, a US Army physician at Camp Humphreys, Virginia, during the First World War, investigated several factors suspected of increasing the risk of severe flu: length of service in the army, race, dirty dishes, flies, dust, crowding, and weather. Overcrowding stood out, increasing the risk of flu 10-fold and the risk of flu complicated with pneumonia five-fold. Calculations made with Brewer's data show that the overall relationship between overcrowding and severe flu was highly significant (P
