Just finished reading a book on the 1918 Spanish Flu and the devastation it wrought across the globe. Probably not the ideal topic given the current virus panic. But it was fascinating as it described how the changes the flu made lasted for generations.

I believe more people were killed by that epidemic than were killed in the battles of the Great War. Perhaps your book confirms that.

@Frank52 Yes because it was more widespread.
