6. And yet in years to come, I think we will realize that in some ways this was worse than 1918.

1918 killed quickly, and that was horrible. This has effects that will linger for the rest of the lives of many who get it.

For the moment we can say that 1918 killed many more people, but when all is said and done I wonder if that will still be true.

If it is not still true, if we end up with many many more deaths, it will be in a large part the fault of the USA.
