(erielack) Spanish Influenza and the DL&W

Very interesting post. Imagine such a scenario today, the disruption and
panic it would cause. This was also an Avian strain which had newly jumped
the "species barrier". It was deadly because being so different from
previous human strains, people had little natural immunity. It was not
uncommon for a young person to be well in the morning, and be dead by
suppertime. That's why the current avian flu situation is being watched so
closely.
