@SeanTrende@BeschlossDC I'm a pediatrician and have some amazing oral history stories from folks. -
@DemFromCT@SeanTrende@BeschlossDC That was the Spanish Flu which killed relatively healthy, younger people more than older people? -
@AngieinWAState@SeanTrende@BeschlossDC yes, somewhat unique circumstances. See John Barry's Great Influenza. -
@AngieinWAState@SeanTrende And kudos to@BeschlossDC for bringing this up at the start of flu season.
