  6. WHY • Because of the doctors vaccinations • Spanish were the first to say that they had a pandimedic • It spread because they were sick, but they didn’t know that at first. • They also never covered up their mouths or noses • Originally started in Fort Riley, Kansas

  7. HOW • People who had it coughed or sneezed on other people • Spreads like a normal flu • Actually came from vaccinations • It spread to Canada from the soldiers coming home from the war (when they came home, they couldn’t touch their wives, because of all the diseases they had)
