So did the spanish flu. Everyone forgets that we had the roaring 20s ( one of the great economic, societal and cultural growths ) right after the spanish flu.

Odd to bring up the economic gains of the Roaring 20s without mentioning the Great Depression that immediately followed.
There was also WW1 at the same time.
