What's this?

That's the infamous Spanish flu of 1918


came around again in 1957 (I think) so guys like me had been exposed to it which explained the anomaly that younger folks were dying from it but not people roughly over 50.

I have seen some stuff suggesting that the Spanish Flu was unfairly blamed on Spain, there may have been some cases at an Army base in Kansas and therefore it might have been US soldiers that took it over to Europe.
