Why Does COVID-19 Sound Familiar? Is history in the process of repeating itself? I believe it is. We've seen this movie before but none of us (including me or anyone I know) was alive to see the original. We are however living the nightmare of the sequel.  I used a number of online sources to come up with the article I wrote below and pieced together below including YouTube Videos  and  Wikipedia . Comparing The Spanish Flu Pandemic Of 1918 & COVID-19 Now. The 1918 influenza pandemic (nicknamed the Spanish Flu) was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin (bird flu). Although there is no universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide from 1918-1919.   As my wife has pointed out isn't it odd that many of these flu outbreaks originate in China?

RTMA Temperatures. At 7 AM MDT This Tuesday Morning. Reported Low Temperatures Tuesday Morning. A Cold April Morning In New Mexico. With snow cover over parts of New Mexico this morning the thermometer fell out in many places. Some single-digit lows were reported in the northern mountains. Here in Carlsbad, I dropped down to 37ºF.  The Carlsbad Airport  reported 36ºF which is chilly compared to the normal for the date of 46ºF. But that's not even close to the record low of 24ºF set at the airport back in 1933.
