I'm 73 this month, hence born in 1947. I've lived thru the Asian Flu of 1957-58 and the Hong Kong Flu of 1968-69. Both of these originated in Asia and both were declared and considered Pandemic events. They were both worldwide and were spread by travelers and soldiers (especially during 1968-69 when troops were returning from Vietnam).
Did I say that they were Pandemic events??????
Both pandemics events spread quickly world wide and affected millions---But the actual death toll was relatively small.
Both lasted a few months.
Both scared my jw mom shitless. We were all gonna die !
Thank god (or whatever) that we didn't have the internet back in 1958 and 1968. Not saying this flu isn't bad, but learn from history and be cool!
just saying!
