‼️The Times reporting the Armistice ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO‼️

Excerpt 11 of 27
AN INFLUENZA PLEA.
The present epidemic is virtually world-wide, irrespective of race, community, or calling. Similar epidemics occurred in 1803, 1833, 1837, 1847, 1890. Infection is conveyed from the sick to the healthy by the secretion of the respiratory surfaces. In coughing, sneezing, and even in loud talking, these are transmitted through the air for considerable distances in the form of a fine spray. Since we are uncertain of the primary cause of influenza, no form of inoculation can be guaranteed to protect against the disease itself.

A small article in the paper tucked away on page five, perhaps reflecting how unaware people were of the catastrophic impact Spanish flu would have on the world’s population. In the months following the end of the First World War, the great influenza pandemic killed between 50 and 100 million people, including nearly 250,000 Britons. David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, was one of the first infected, although he went on to make a full recovery. Others were not so lucky. Some reports claim that nearly a third of the world’s population were infected, with suggestions that the outbreak of the highly contagious virus accelerated the end of the war.

THE classic anti-war song of all time.
In the GREAT WAR (renamed WW1 later) if a man didn't fight (& usually die) for his country he would be thrown in prison or shot. Family ruined from the "scandal"

Central park was opened as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951
I remember going to see that festival with my parents...as millions did

You must have hundreds of mice milling around to entice them to hover and land
Get a tom cat like me and the mice will soon disappear

Did you identify that bird of prey you had eating a dead pigeon a couple of months ago
