In reply to the discussion: Well, I got my Bloodmoney check in the mail today.. which is weird.. [View all]marble falls
(58,082 posts)33. I knew nothing about the Spanish flu until I lived in Mesa, Arizona. I like walking cemeteries ...
Mesa's was a pretty one near my home. I was looking at the graves in one section and I noticed there were a lot of children and infants all dead within just about a six month period and as I went through the section there were entire families dead within days of each other and I investigated to see what that was all about and that's how I learned about the Great Flu Pandemic. All the graves I saw were from the second wave. I never found another section in the cemetery that would have been a first wave section, that was a small enough group that it was spread out around it.
The second wave is what determines when I break out of quarantine.
