Why doesn't FCPS teach about the 1918 SPANISH/MEXICAN FLU?

that flu wasn’t about a virus, it was about States Rights

I will defend the socialists at the Gateway Building this time. It was a completely different era where the US was an individualist society with a minimal safety net. While the incidence of death was far greater because of the inability to treat the disease, the societal effects were minimal because the country was not destabilized by reckless and possibly needless spending and maniacal news reporting. While families were affected by the deaths that occurred in many families, the tragedy was quickly forgotten because it was not a societal event.
As a result, it largely went down in history as a forgotten event.

It's a shame Trump wasn't President to build them a Wall and have Mexico pay for it with the sale of Lysol injections.

I recall Woodrow Wilson made a public address during the flu pandemic, in which he yelled at a reporter then told people that maybe eating a can of Shinola would help fight off the disease.

Most of the 1918 victims were lucky and died from the flu. This time around most of the victims are being kilt from Trump Virus Infomercials .
