My mother was 7 years old during the 1918 flu - handycandy Posted: Feb 23rd, 2021 - 4:14 pm In Reply to: First wave was in the Northeast in late winter/spring of - 2020. Second wave was in the sunbelt
I tried to look up our county in 1918 and seems there was little to no flu mentioned. We are a tiny county in the midwest and I suppose during those years, people didn't really travel a lot and stayed at home for the most part unless they worked. My mother lived on a farm so that probably explains why they never got it if they didn't travel.
Glad no one in our family had that awful influenza of 1918.
I will certainly be glad to not have to wear a mask anymore. I can barely breathe in it and my glasses fog up despite my trying three different things to stop that.
I get my second vaccination shot tomorrow. I hear that the second one is a harsher one, i.e. chills, fever, aches, etc. for only a day or so.
