Very, very, very dreadful

Very, very, very dreadful: The influenza pandemic of 1918 / Albert Marrin, 198 pgs.

Who doesn't like a good pandemic story now and again.  Especially now as we are enjoying our own pandemic.  This 1918 story actually sounds more horrible.  That flu took no time racing through the world, knocking down young adults faster than anyone else.  The death toll is shocking.  Of course some comparisons can be made to today but hopefully we are better off today after some strides in science and research.
