Every year, on November 11th, we pause to remember the sacrifice of all those who gave their lives so that we might enjoy ours in freedom. And rightly so. But something else happened back in 1918: the Spanish Flu. It killed more people than died in that war: for every soldier killed in combat, three died of that “flu”[1]
