I Love History

I have been researching the history's timeline of one century ago.
Does history repeats itself?
Looks like it to me!

I studied the history of Spanish flu.. H1N1.
How it begun and to it's bitter end.
It started in 1918, lasting till 1920.
The year of 1919, it hit hard and fast, didn't matter if you were elderly or a child.

It had 3 waves.... Look, read, learn.. for yourself. Please.

They wore masks a century ago. Social distancing, lockdowns.....

It was deadly to some extent for over 10 years.
It under went several mutations.

The medical facts and how we reacted to this virus, Covid19, is the same as it was a century ago!

Thank God for modern medicine!! That in our favor.

Then came the Great Depression, 1929-1941.
I read what they did to try to regain control and help the stock market out.
It's the same song and dance now, as it was then.

My husband and I were talking about what his grandfather and mine once said about this period in time. Hard times, a domino effect that lasted for years to come.

People are mentioning, this is the "new normal".
It just maybe the beginning, the tip of the iceberg.

Don't want to be gloom and doom but... We do not want to be caught... as they say...with our pants down!
We are going to continue to prepare, for a long drawn out crisis.

We want to learn from history.

It was worst in the fall of 1918
And became endemic

Covid is likely to become endemic also

We have some advantages and disadvantages now... I believe if we declare a win over covid it will be April to August 2021

@Echoing true

The last two US presidents warned about it. Bush was very interesting, he read all about the Spanish Flu and was very interested.
