Of course, a lot of folks died with Flue each year. I remember I used to look at the attendants handling the groceries and tried to avoid those who looked peaky. I still think masks are a good thing, especially inside with crowds. Who wants to catch the flue?

That was something I taught my kids from a very young age - yes, you have a choice how to act, but you are responsable for the consequences. It goes hand in hand.

The Pandemic has come towards the end of my life and of course I have been affected by it. I couldn't be close to Wiley when we both needed me to be until just before his death last year. However, it has not hurt me like it has others. I believe in Science and vaccinations...living through Polio as a child was enough...However I enjoy being home and now I have constant human company iIam not much affected.

Good Afternoon
I have to say over the years I had heard about the Spanish flu from the time I was little and I'd seen some pictures but I never questioned how the people living then may have changed because of all the death and uncertainty around them. Now if I flash forward to now and know how much it's changed all of us then it would only make sense that way back when it would have changed those people too. How did I ever miss that?

Good afternoon
This pandemic has been a total game-changer. The rules for life as we knew it were entirely wiped out. I guess this is how history through time in the books gets changed. A hundred years from now people will read about our experience and ask, wtf?
