Avant l’\u00e9t\u00e9 1918, les autorit\u00e9s europ\u00e9ennes peinent \u00e0 prendre la menace au s\u00e9rieux. La Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale est toujours en cours et occupe tous les esprits. Un correspondant de The Times<\/em> infect\u00e9 lors de la premi\u00e8re vague de contaminations soutient que le virus est bien moins virulent que la grippe russe de 1889-1890. Dans son article, le journaliste explique ainsi avoir gu\u00e9ri gr\u00e2ce au repos et \u00e0 la prise de quinine, un m\u00e9dicament utilis\u00e9 dans le traitement du paludisme. \u00ab\u00a0En raison de son caract\u00e8re b\u00e9nin, la maladie \u2013 ainsi que ses victimes \u2013 a d’abord fait l’objet de bons mots et autres badinages plaisants dans les journaux\u00a0\u00bb,<\/em> \u00e9crit le correspondant du journal en Espagne, le 3 juin 1918.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quelques semaines plus tard, changement de ton. Le 3 juillet, les services m\u00e9dicaux de la ville de Birmingham, dans l\u2019ouest de l\u2019Angleterre, sont aux abois. \u201cLes m\u00e9decins ne savent plus quoi faire pour g\u00e9rer l\u2019afflux de patients\u201d, peut-on alors lire dans le quotidien fond\u00e9 en 1785. Pendant l\u2019automne, une deuxi\u00e8me vague, beaucoup plus meurtri\u00e8re, frappe les villes et les campagnes. La grippe est \u00e0 ce stade capable de venir \u00e0 bout de jeunes adultes en bonne sant\u00e9 quelques heures seulement apr\u00e8s l\u2019apparition des premiers sympt\u00f4mes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
