The was an awesome doc. On a side note:

Allegedly, Black weren't as susceptible to the Spanish flu. Their even a reasearch paper on the subject.

Alfred Crosby noted that the norm changed during the 1918 influenza pandemic in the US: The black population (which were expected to have higher influenza morbidity and mortality) had lower morbidity and mortality than the white population during the autumn of 1918. Crosby’s explanation for this was that black people were more exposed to a mild spring/summer wave of influenza earlier that same year.

Yes, some of the (false)rumors about Blacks being immune to covid-19 were rooted in past experiences with pandemics. I think part of the reason why it didn't hit AAs as hard as it hit whites in 1918 was because of the segregation of the races at the time.

There might be. The American Experience is a long running series on PBS and each episode covers an event,person, or theme that is central to American history. This episode about the 1918 epidemic tells the story from a uniquely American perspective. Like the "Spanish Flu" outbreak seeming to have originated in a military camp in Kansas U.S.A.
If you haven't watched it, you should check it out, it puts some of the current events in perspective.

I'm sure that people thought the world was coming to an end in 1918, but it didn't.
