...an American training camp near swine herds (swine flue link is credible as a mutation), is central Kansas months earlier than Nov 1918.
So I exist because my grandfather's unit, 1st Colorado Infantry, was sent to California to organize instead of Kansas. Luck of the draw.

I’d add elderberry syrup to that mix. Once a day as a preventative, and every 3 hours the first few days if you do get infected. There is a compound in elderberries that interferes with the flu virus’ ability to infect new cells.

I remember reading that there aren’t enough saline IVs to meet the current demand as it is. No way are we prepared for an epidemic like that.

My great grandparents died from the flu.
My grandfather who was the eldest, had to give up his dream of finding his fortune in Dayton and stay home to run the farm and raise his seven surviving siblings.

My father had it at a very young age, survived it and died in his 90s having never had any kind of flu again.

My grandfather was born in 1898. News travelled slow in Texas too. He said it took a week to hear of the Titanic.
