All influenza viruses are actually bird viruses.

The 1918 virus infected about a third of the world's population.

That would be equivalent to 225 to 450 million people dead today.

Huge type face in the newspaper is saying,

wear a mask and save your life.

This is in 1918.

We're a mask and save a life.

What could have been done even at that time at a 1918 to have prevented some like this from happening?

The most important lesson from 1918 is to tell the truth.

If you don't tell them the truth, sooner or later they're going to find out.

We did masks, social distancing.

What do we learn to prepare for next one?

You know, the cities that closed down earlier in the epidemic

not only had better results in terms of how many people get

sick and died but their economies actually recovered faster and more strongly.

We were not told the truth by Trump. Hundreds of thousands of Americans should be alive who are dead and

the reason is bad leadership.

How are you processing this for yourself when you see the madness in DC?

That's the creation of American democracy.

Do you think things are just going to escalate and get worse?

Well, you keep thinking things are pit bottom and then they keep getting worse.

Now you have people who are so committed to Trump, they believe anything that he says.
