War time in Chapel Hill, 1918

complications with the illness.
Pres. Graham dies UNC-CH PRESIDENT DIES OF PNEUMONIA DUE TO INFLUENZA “There are thirty cases in the hospital,” Graham wrote back to the parent on Oct. 19. “This shows a steady decrease from the maximum of about one hundred and thirty. There are twenty in the convalescent building. These men are virtually well; they are simply being detained there as a precaution.”
When the pandemic finally began to wane in the spring of 1919, more than 500 UNC students had been treated in the infirmary and seven people, including three students, had died as a result of complications of the illness.
The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 set in motion the steps that led to public health today, creating local organizations, improved record keeping, focus on conditions that lead to ill health and keeping people healthy.
Welcome to the Gillings School The year is 2020 in Chapel Hill. You are public health pioneers coming to Chapel Hill in another pandemic.
