What amazed me was something I never learned about in HS history. The Spanish flu of 1918, and how many people it wiped out.
I read a book on that about a year or so ago that was so good I read it in a weekend. Couldn’t put it down

My father, who was 9 in 1919 remembered his entire family - parents and 8 kids - all getting the flu but they all survived. He said it was nasty.
