I was reading a new history book when I stumbled upon the section about the Spanish Influenza during the 1920s. Apparently, 20 to 40 million people died as a result of the disease, but only 700,000 of the deaths were Americans. While that is a huge number, I couldn't help but think about how little the subject is mentioned in terms of long term affects. My first reaction when I hear the phrase "Post-WWI" is not Spanish Influenza.
So what if the disease had struck the United States considerably harder? Say a death toll in the millions.
