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)

8 Death Tolls  Saskatchewan: over 5,000 deaths  Alberta: 33,000-38,000 cases, 3,000-4,000 deaths  British Columbia: There are no provincial statistics, but Vancouver alone there were 800-1,000 deaths  Manitoba: There are no provincial statistics, but Winnipeg alone there were 820-1,020 deaths  Northwest Territories: No statistics  Ontario: 300,000 cases, 8,705 deaths  Quebec: 535,700 cases, 13,880 deaths  New Brunswick: 35,581 cases, 1,394 deaths
