When the clock struck noon, the masks came off.
It was Nov. 21, 1918, and San Francisco residents gathered in the streets to celebrate not only the recent end of World War I and the Allies’ victory, but also the end of an onerous ordinance that shut down the city and required all residents and visitors to wear face coverings in public to stop the spread of the so-called Spanish flu.

Interesting article. My Grandfather told me a bit about this time period, when telling me about the time leading up to him marring Baba (my Grandmother). They were married in 1919. I believe the medicine we practice today is light years ahead of 1918/1919. Maybe we should give professionals some credit. I’m not a fan of Fauci, I can’t put my finger on it, but something about him makes me uneasy.
