My nightmare is a 1918 style Spanish Influenza pandemic. Think about that in this enlightened modern age.

My mother lived thru the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Everyone in the family became very ill, including aunts and uncles, except for my mother.
She was 7 at the time, and remembered washing dishes and doing housework every waking minute.
One of her sisters died.
