I imagine that most people wore masks in order to protect themselves and others, without trying to make it a ‘personal choice’ issue.

Interestingly enough… the ‘Spanish Flu’ actually originated not in Spain but more likely in Kansas or Great Britain, among troops crowded together.

For one thing, um they either died a LOT more frequently that we are right now because that disease was deadlier than coronavirus if you can believe it, and also those that survived didn’t lean toward extremism and outwardly hate anyone who disagreed with their opinions.

Spanish Flu was a deadly disease that killed 1/3rd of worlds population, however this didn’t really have socio-political effects

Corona was a lot less deadly but had massive scandals. Quarantine led people to use the internet more, unintentionally sparking political polarization
