Recommended online documentary.

"As soon as the dying stopped, the forgetting began..."



Watch a PBS Documentary about the pandemic that the world went through a century ago---in 1918/1919---and then forgot.

"It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic." From the CDC.
