I wonder if the victims of the 1918 epidemic were asking similar questions.

No. Because while it was actually happening it was kept “secret” because of WWI. Imagine, the press actually had some measure of responsibility then. It was called “Spanish Flu” because Spain was the only country actually reporting the deaths.

My 26 year old Grandmother died in that pandemic when my Dad was 3 months old. My Dad told me that it hit them before they realized how serious it was. But that was in the early stages of the pandemic.
