Epidemics and Pandemics and the Ancestors

I’ve been researching ALL of the pandemics and epidemics that OUR ancestors survived through the ages (emphasis on “SURVIVED” otherwise WE would NOT be here right now).

Fifty thousand Canadians died from the Spanish flu — almost as many were killed in World War I.
In the U.S., the flu killed between 500,000 and 700,000.
