Wasn't it in 1968 that we had the Hong Kong flu ?
I remember that very well,, all my brothers and I were sick.
The Hong Kong flu here in the US in 1968 , 50 years after this pandemic.

I don’t remember the exact year- but I remember my whole family had it and we were so sick we skipped Christmas, none of us even cared about our presents under the tree until about New Years. The sickest I have ever been, I thought we were all going to die from that stuff.

Wasn't it in 1968 that we had the Hong Kong flu ? Asian influenza pandemic of 1957-1958 ... I was there and suffered thru an attack in March 1958. This evidently helped immunize me against the Hong Kong flu a decade later because the Hong Kong flu wasn't an issue for me ... entirely clear of any symptoms.

"I remember that very well,, all my brothers and I were sick. The Hong Kong flu here in the US in 1968 , 50 years after this pandemic. ..I remember it very well... I was sick for over a year, once the flu was "gone".
Took me a few years more before I was really over it.
Nasty business.
