How many people are dying today from preventable causes? Have you heard songs about them?
- triceratops 7y agoThe Spanish Flu was, by definition, not curable since so many people died of it. There have been many films, books, and other media about other epidemics. HIV/AIDS, bubonic plague, smallpox, and polio come to mind. I think GP was pointing out how much WW1 overshadowed everything else that was going on at the time. In any other moment in history, the Spanish Flu would have been a significant occurrence.
