Quoted from cottonm4:For months I have been wanting to go to the old newspapers (on film) section and look back into the 1918 papers and see how those people were actually living with the 1918 virus. No dice. Nobody goes in. Bummer.
Plenty of online sources if you want to read the newspapers from back then. Many similarities to how this pandemic has unfolded. Businesses and schools closed. Wear masks etc..
Those communities that chose to isolate seemed to fare better than those that didn't. The biggest mystery as is today, is when if ever it would end.
