- W-shaped mortality: unusually killed young adults 20–40 (cytokine storm hypothesis) — not just elderly as with typical influenza - "Spanish flu" misnaming: Spain had free wartime press; US, UK, France censored pandemic news to maintain morale - Philadelphia parade (Sept 28) vs St. Louis schools closed (Oct 3): 8x higher peak death rate in Philadelphia — the original policy experiment - Second wave (fall 1918) was 5x more lethal than first — pandemic ended not through vaccination but viral attenuation over 2 years
