       @inquiline Historian John Barry wrote an excellent history of the 1918 flu pandemic and one of the strangest observations he makes in that book is that there’s almost no cultural trace of the disease. Where are the songs, poems, films, and novels portraying the days when people died in scores?There’s almost no trace.That seemed bizarre to me, but it’s pretty much what we’ve done with Covid
