There are probably some of you who remember this.
Anywho, I am watching the new
Wonder Years where they mention it at the very beginning of the pilot.
Anywho, it just makes one think.

Hong Kong flu. My sister had it for a week, showed recovery, then died Saturday morning of myocarditis. She was 11.
My friend Jody lost his father to it. June 2020, Jody became the first person I knew to die of covid.

Oh my gosh. I am so sorry for the losses.
I'd have been 11 in 1968 and I guess I don't remember that flu. Was a little before the time I started reading the paper and watching the news with some regularity.
