I'm amazed at the number of people that have no idea of what you are talking about when you bring up the Spanish Flu. When all this first started to show up on the east and west coasts, I went to the local pharmacy and told the pharmacist I wanted to get a 90 day supply of all prescriptions. He asked why? Told him there was a good chance they might not be available due to supply chain issues, and he said "oh we get them from so and so, not from overseas." I asked him if he was not aware that most of our medicines are not produced in the US, but in China and India, and especially the generic formulations? He was clueless and asked if I thought this could really get bad? I said I don't know, but think about the Spanish Flu - it could be like that. He had never heard of it and he's about 40 years old. I told him to take a walk around any of the local Cemeteries and see how many markers show they died in 1918 - In many cases several children and parents in the same families. In every graveyard in our very rural area, there are hundreds of them. This is a very smart, intelligent man. He was born and raised here and only one generation removed from myself and had no knowledge of it at all.
