It’s just the tip of the iceberg that’s starting now. All indications is we really wont start coming back, until maybe May, and that would be a slow recovery and also assumes that even if we can get past this first virus way there won’t be a second wave (similiar to the Spanish Flu). [/quote]
A good article on the 1918 flu as it affected San Diego:
Seemed to be slowing by late October 1918: 535 cases, 20 deaths
Public gathering restrictions lifted mid Nov 1918.
Another wave hit in 1919, but not a severe as 1918 (at least in San Diego).
I don’t have the date my relative died in Tulsa, but I have a document he signed in late Sept 1918 so I know it was after that.[/quote]
Yup. Second wave of 1919 was not as severe because those that were infected with the first wave but survived built an immunity to the second wave
. However, the second wave did hit hard those that weren’t infected the first time, it was a more lethal strain I think. …None of this economy matters if in a few years you are dead.
