Listen Later

You've probably seen references to how the Corona virus and COVID-19 compare to the Spanish Flu. But what was life like for our ancestors during that scary time of 1918 and 1919? In this episode, Lori Lyn Price, a social historian who has studied life during the Spanish Flu, explains what our ancestors went through back then. 

Note: if you typically listen to this podcast with children, you might want to listen to it without them first to make sure that it's appropriate for their age level. 

Show notes with links to Lori Lyn's website as well as several other Spanish Flu resources are available at AmyJohnsonCrow.com/44.
