I made this meme in 5 minutes from the search words "Spanish Flu masks." I could have used 1,000 pictures found there.

I think that ever since penacillin, we have become so used to high-tech magic bullets, we don't have time for simple, effective measures.

Now I regret chucking my ski-goggles when I quit downhill skiing in my 50’s. Those goggles protected me from the cold air blast. Yeah, I would say your sister was well protected.

I read some good news for me: (LOL)
“It is not chronological age alone that determines how one does in the face of a life-threatening infection such as Covid-19,” cautioned geriatrician and gerontologist George Kuchel of the University of Connecticut. “Having multiple chronic diseases and frailty is in many ways as or more important than chronological age. An 80-year-old who is otherwise healthy and not frail might be more resilient in fighting off infection than a 60-year-old with many chronic conditions.” Reason: He may have a younger immune system.”
