I can understand the context when I look back. My late mother spoke about the revolutionary period but never mentioned the Spanish flu. There are similarities. We have a war on the Continent of Europe and a big energy crisis. It is not that people have forgotten the pandemic. It is just that other things have preoccupied us. We must, however, learn from this.
