20 years after the start of a new Century, and during an intractible war around the world, an upstart nation born of bloody revolution had a virus breakout. A pretty deadly virus. The government routinely cracked down on the free flow of information, exacerbating the response. Because of a recent burst of global travel, the virus spread like wildfire.
No, not Covid-19 in China. Spanish Flu, from Kansas. 1920, not 2020. (Well, really 1918.) Wilson had a tyrannical stranglehold on the press.
It killed 675,000 Americans (and a lot more around the world.) Out of a population of 107,000,000. So, to meet those number we'd have to see 1.8 million dead in this country for this new thing.
Well, 'new.' It's just a mutated strain of stuff that's been around forever. Read the back of your Lysol spray can. It kills Corona, says so right there.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
