I happened upon an article on history.com about the 1918 pandemic.

The only therapeutic drug of the time was aspirin.
Aspirin lowered the temp slightly and provided some small relief from the aches and chills.

It was common practice at the time for doctors to prescribe up to 30 grams of aspirin a day.
That is 92 full strength aspirin tablets.
These days only 5 grams of aspirin is considered toxic.
It's likely that aspirin toxicity contributed to some of the hundreds of thousands of deaths in the US.
We will never know for sure.

Dang that's a bunch, I'd still have to do the math. I'm sure their stomach turned inside out!

I calculated it this way...

1 gram = 1,000 milligrams
30 grams = 30,000 milligrams

regular adult strength aspirin tablet = 325 milligrams
30,000 milligrams / 325 = 92.3 tablets


In addition to the pulmonary edema it must have caused many cases of internal bleeding and liver damage.

Yeah wasn't questioning your math, was curious about the article's math.
