Just as the Spanish Flu was starting to emerge in 1918, Philadelphia threw a parade which drew 200,000 people. Within 10 days, almost 50,000 people were infected and 4500 people had died from the virus. Eventually 17,000 people died in Philly while other parts of the country experienced significantly fewer cases and deaths.
Let's hope the protests and riots over the last few days don't lead to a surge in infections which could not only impact the individuals involved but the 100s of thousands of people they will interact with over the coming weeks.
