Camp Funston: Primero de los Campos de entrenamiento militar afectado por la gripe. (Ir a Personas. Cosas. Geografía. Cronología. Fuentes.)

CHRISTINE M. KREISER en Historynet.com (27 de octubre de 2006) señala el 4 de marzo como fecha del primer caso de gripe:

Back home, the ramp-up hit a snag. On March 4, 1918, the Army installation at Camp Funston, Kan., reported a single case of flu. Before the end of the month, 1,100 men had been hospitalized, and 20 percent of those men developed pneumonia. Flu spread rapidly among Army camps as troops were rushed through on their way to the front. But the outbreak had subsided by summer, and it looked like the worst was over.
