      I don’t think anybody quite knows exactly where it came from – but at the time Spain had more freedom to report cases.

      So even though other countries probably had cases before Spain, because Spain started reporting large numbers – it got called the Spanish flu 👍

      We don’t know for sure – there are different theories that it could have started in France, in Kansas (in the USA) or in northern China! But not in Spain.
