The 1968 (H3N2) pandemic killed approximately 100,000. Like COVID-19, many, if not most of the deaths were among people older than 65, so it is hard to tell how many were excess deaths. The year 1968 is when the US population passed 200 million, so adjusting for population that would be equivalent to about 164,000 deaths today.
Does anyone recall these leading to any accommodations or adaptations to the way we lived our lives or organized our society, other than what-should-be-obvious individual adjustments like "don't forget to wash your hands"?

Never paid much attention to the totality of deaths from pandemics, never knew anyone who died. I was surprised to see this on Web Md
https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/n...-flu-last-year. What is hard to be surprised by is liberals taking advantage of a crisis, they have an incredible record of doing so.
Libya, Haiti, Ukraine, Iran, china, their own States, etc...
If I was an investigator I would get copies of Nan’s travel itinerary and start with that!
