The Spanish Flu. If you caught it - you suffered and died.

I guess if there was an upside to the pandemic of 1918 - it was that there was no government bailout of trillions and trillions of dollars.

Didn’t the Spanish flu take out children more than old coots?

Don’t forget that Trump’s paternal grandfather was a victim of the Spanish flu in 1918.

My parents had elderly neighbors in the 1960s who lost all five of their children in the Spanish Flu epidemic. All they had left of their children was a portrait that hung in their dining room. It was so sad that their beloved children could not survive.

Actually, my father was 9 at the time and his entire family of 10 got the flu and all survived.

And they didn’t know anyone who died

Just saying
