A century ago, it was also just the flu, bro. #COVID19 
A century ago, authority bias was deadly. #COVID19
A century ago, mass media was as old-fashioned as today. #COVID19
A century ago, it really was just the flu, bro... This was influenza, only influenza. #COVID19
A century ago, there was nothing to fear but fear itself. #COVID19
A century ago, the advice was don't worry, be happy. #COVID19
A century ago, nothing was more important than morale. #COVID19
A century ago, fear was the enemy and alarmism to be condemned. #COVID19
