[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2481745, member: 109862"] There’s an old rural cemetery a ways from the country church I grew up going to, it’s lesser known, not big sign or anythng and a long ways off the main road…I remember as a teenager I volunteered to mow the grass and stuff the one summer…it was was very sobering to take a bit of time and look at all the graves (the ones i could read anyway)…tons of kids between 3 and 8 years old in that 1918-1921 window. I remember asking my dad what the heck happened here, I knew people just died more frequently back in the day but over two dozen kids under 8 years old in two years in a small rural community with not that many people to start with seemed weird. Spanish Influenza was the answer. I don’t downplay COVID at all but as a father of four young kids i thank God it’s nothing like what it’s compared to, that’s just ridiculous that people compare them! [/QUOTE]
