re: #317 PhillyPretzel

I remember seeing that someone in 1918 Philly said that citizens should be allowed to attend a parade. They did. Practically everyone who did came down with the flu and many died.

Here’s a story the WaPo had about it a few weeks ago.

What happens if parades aren’t canceled during pandemics? Philadelphia found out in 1918, with disastrous results.
