Interesting article.

Some things apparently never change...

The mask and lockdown orders they're talking about seem to have been of much shorter duration than what we're seeing today.

Wait a minute. Someone told me that masks aren't a thing in flu season. ???

 [popcorn]  I remember seeing a photo of people standing or sitting,  on some porch I think,  during the Spanish Flu,  all wearing masks.  Probably N1 style then  =D .   Sitting next to one person, a cat.   Wearing a mask. How they convinced the cat to wear it,  I have not a clue. :O ;/

Cats are smarter than they let on.  My father would have been 16 at the time, my mother about 8 yo.  I would have been -22.
