I call bullshit. This is from the website for the Nebraska History Museum:

Omaha alone saw 974 deaths between October 5 and December 31. The state’s overall death toll was variously reported between 2,800 to 7,500 people—a broad range because Nebraska’s reporting was so woefully incomplete. Medical professionals gave various reasons for this. Many said that the large number of patients left them little time to keep good records.

Federal officials considered Nebraska’s numbers so inaccurate that they omitted them when calculating the nation’s total infection rate and mortality.

This desperation to attach significance to events in San Francisco (Anti-mask League) and Omaha from 1918-1919 exposes the ulterior motivations.
