   Clinical evidence that the pandemic from 1889 to 1891 commonly called   
   the Russian flu might have been an earlier coronavirus pandemic   
      
   Summary   
      
   Contemporary medical reports from Britain and Germany on patients   
   suffering from a pandemic infection between 1889 and 1891, which was   
   historically referred to as the Russian flu, share a number of   
   characteristics with COVID-19. Most notable are aspects of multisystem   
   affections comprising respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological   
   symptoms including loss of taste and smell perception; a protracted   
   recovery resembling long covid and pathology observations of   
   thrombosis in multiple organs, inflammation and rheumatic affections.   
   As in COVID-19 and unlike in influenza, mortality was seen in elderly   
   subjects while children were only weakly affected. Contemporary   
   reports noted trans-species infection between pet animals or horses   
   and humans, which would concur with a cross-infection by a broad host   
   range bovine coronavirus dated by molecular clock arguments to an   
   about 1890 cross-species infection event.
