IIRC Spanish Flu was called that because they were basically the only ones that reported it. It haopened right after WWI and what great news to tell everyone who suffered casualties for years already. Other countries were absolutely affected by it. The reason it was so deadly, again iirc, was that it was a different type. Basically, the first flu we get kinda imprints a "how to kill flu!" Thing for your immune system. Problem is that flu isnt a one-type virus, it has multiple. See H1N1. So the body struggles against different viruses like H1N9 or some poo poo. Sometimes it is really bad. So if you have the "how to kill this virus" guide book, great! If not, uh oh. The people that mainly died during the Spanish Flu were our age. People that were in the sweet spot between the old enough to have gotten a type of flu like the one ripping a part that area, or young enough to have their body "make a guide about how to kill the flu." Everyone else who already had a flu "guidebook" obviously didnt have their book work and they lost their lives sometimes. poo poo was wild reading about but its been years.

EBB posted:Our sitting president is too much of an embarrassment to quietly attend the funeral of a former president. "Bush did a lot of good things for our country, I did better, just saying, but a lot of good things for this country. His son became president too, and he couldnt beat ISIS like I did. noone said nepotism when he became president either. Ivanka is very talented and maybe will be the first female president. Who knows? Very smart lady!"

Entire floor at DC Court sealed off https://www.ajc.com/news/national-govt--politics/entire-floor-federal-courthouse-sealed-off-for-mystery-case/JyerATnO5wL4gJKcS6nVJP/ Speculations are that Mueller subpoenaed Trump and he is fighting it.

Handsome Ralph posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/a3gkmy/is_there_historical_context_that_aids_us_in/ Our music kinda does this anyways. We tend to gloss over lyricsif we can sing or dance to it. Most AC40/Top 100 music follows the objectification of sex and excess. Pitbull, Aguilera, Katy Perry, etc. Its dumb and making us worse.
