Tuberculosis, for example, was one of the most devastating infections at the turn of the 20th century. Self-sacrifice took on a whole new meaning for nuns who, while trying to relieve sick people\u2019s suffering, sometimes lost their own lives. At the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de Quebec alone, there were three nuns in 1896, six in 1900 and two in 1901 to succumb to the disease. However, the influenza of 1918, known as &#8220;Spanish Flu,&#8221; took the Augustinians of Qu\u00e9bec City by surprise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-html\" ><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"wp-block-iframe\">\n<center>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/center>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-image\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-2600\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/monastere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/old\/2018\/10\/HDQ-F5-I12_13_1-Salle-Saint-Michel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2600\"\/><figcaption>Saint-Michel room, intended for male patients, around 1917.<br>\u00a9 Archives du Monast\u00e8re des Augustines<br>Fonds du Monast\u00e8re des Augustines de l&#8217;H\u00f4tel-Dieu de Qu\u00e9bec.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Spanish Flu<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>In 1918, the last major epidemic, the Spanish Flu, wreaked havoc across Qu\u00e9bec and Canada.

The second wave of the Spanish flu hit Qu\u00e9bec City in mid-October 1918, taking an average of 40 people a day during its first week.

The economic crisis following the First World War was also felt: there were not enough means to provide optimal to everyone. The various vaccines, remedies and isolation techniques (quarantine) were of little or no effect.

In 1919, the council pushed this time back to around 10:30 a.m. &#8211; 11:00 a.m. On Sundays, they could even wake up at noon. Ten years later, permanent night teams were established to avoid the inconvenience of changing the schedule.
