There may not have been tens of thousands of students flying home, but there were millions of soldiers transported around to fight WWI.

“There may not have been tens of thousands of students flying home, but there were millions of soldiers transported around to fight WWI.”

And it took quite a bit longer to get there or home. Plenty of time to quarantine a ship if needed.

But here’s a stat I worked out a while back. Prior to the travel bans to everywhere, more people flew across the Atlantic in a week than were sent to Europe during the entire war (WWI).

It’s a smaller, faster world.
