Flu: The Story Of The Great Influenza Pandemic Of 1918 And The Search For The Virus That Caused It by Gina Kolata

3.0

A lot of information about the Flu Pandemic of 1918. It was crazy how I was reading a book about a pandemic all the while wearing a mask and using hand sanitizer in the middle of a pandemic of a different virus. It won't be a big explosion of nuclear weapons or catastrophe from outer space that destroys us, no, it will be some small thing that invades people's bodies that will do the most damage. Just like The War of the Worlds story. It's a scary time to be alive.

This book thought the pandemic of 1918 was the most destructive to our population. Well, the universe said "hold my beer". And along came COVID-19. If we don't learn from these events what will happen then?
