Article doesn't mention if he was actually infected by the spanish flu or if he just survived the times. Anywho, fun happy news, worth the 5 seconds. Maybe not hn material.

Edit: Free from memory of a spanish flu documentary I watched the other day: "As I entered the train, the conductor fell dead on floor. As the journey went on, I saw two more passengers die. Then the train stopped. The loco pilot had died, and I walked the rest of the way home."

Spanish flu was some heavy shit. With young healthy people dying the first day of symptoms.
