ABERYSTWYTH & 1918/19 SPANISH FLU🦠
* A thread *

I've been for my daily allocated walk, so what better way of easing some boredom than documenting the outbreak of the 1918/9 Spanish Influenza in the #Aberystwyth area, as told by the Cambrian News at the time.
Diolch enfawr i'r wefan Papurau Newydd Cymru y LlGC am leddfu'r diflastod rhywfaint // Thanks to the NLW's terrific resource for easing the boredom:

(The Cambrian News and Merionethshire Standard 1918/9) 📰
Despite starting in early 1918, due to the ongoing WWI efforts, the spread of the influenza was highly censored by the British media/Entente Powers (unlike Spain - thus the name 🇪🇸🦠) - and the first real detailed account wasn't featured in the CN until 1/11/18.
