In 10 years the historians will arrive at consensus on the CV-19 death rate. In 30 years revisionist historians will achieve a new consensus.

In 10 years, will it be forgotten? In 30 years, will it even be remembered? The reason I say that is by the 1980s, nobody was really doing research on the pandemic of 1918. Alfred Crosby, who taught American history at my alma mater, UT Austin, wrote an entire book called “America’s Forgotten Pandemic” about the 1918 pandemic. I know that’s where I first heard about it.
