You would think the comparitive report between St. Louis and Philadelphia during the Spanish flu would be taken as a lesson to begin quarantines. At least if those were put into effect perhaps your son and the precious family of so many others would he safer. The fewer people out and about, the fewer catch the bug. The load on hospitals would be greatly decreased thereby allowing resources to be used more frugally. Less sick people, less of the limited supply of medication needed. Seems simple from a simple-minded old granny.
The only way my son will not have to fly is if they ground our troops.
