In September 1918, Philadelphia prematurely threw a parade to celebrate the end of Spanish flu. 200,000 people attended. Within 72 hours 31 hospitals in and around Phila. were full to overflowing with Spanish flu patients. When that wave ended, 4500 people had died. Brings a quote to mind: Those who cannot learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.
