Thanks for the corrections. I just looked to see if the dates were close. The particular strain that caused the pandemic wasn't something I considered all that important. But I still should have checked.
My point was: We have seen similar pandemics in the US before. The more recent ones were not as bad but still severe enough to act as a warning.
