Nonetheless, 1,500,000 workers reported sick, and hospitals in a score of cities closed their doors against all but emergency admissions. Mortality figures rose steadily; although influenza rarely causes death directly, it kills the infirm aged and very young by secondary diseases such as pulmonary ailments.
