Way overblown, no one in either mine or my wife's families got the flu in 1918. That's over 60 people.
In 1917 and 1918 people didn’t travel as much as they do today. Many communities were completely unaffected. Our family lived in Philadelphia, a heavily hit city. My mother’s brother died of the flu.
Same thing with my family history....I think the big cities were probably hit the hardest...but does anyone trust statistics from 100 years ago....Someone else that has fear of the flu can have my shot......wouldn’t take it unless at the point of a gun and mine was empty....even then a fight to the death of unconscious...I grew up in a free country and this shit just pisses me off..The newer generations are the ones that would go along with it....they have been programed by government schools...
