None of us were alive in 1919, how could we experience it like you said?

The 1918 Influenza Pandemic[/The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster.

All the pandemics are in the links I provided. I know what year they occurred and what year were "scares". Public fear, like globaloney.
