Young people - thank God - can fight it. They Beyoncé spreaders to parents and grandparents.
We also need to pray this doesn’t mutate. That’s what the Spanish flu did and it killed 675,000 Americans, including many in my family.
It has already split into two variants.
What folks don’t realize about the 1918 Pandemic is that it went around the world at least three times.
Each time, it was worse than the first time. Coronaviruses do that—they are terrible to pin down for a vaccine.
The first time around it came for the old and infirm. The second time, in later 1918, it decimated the trenches in the war (it was a HUGE factor in the armistice—which is odd that it is often overlooked.) The third time it took all the other categories.
