Wandering Blerds will present you with a series of minisodes focused on the last large pandemic, the 1918 " Spanish" Influenza. Being Blerds and nerds we're pretty sure you're already familiar with many of the facts associated with the influenza pandemic of 1918. Our aim is not to increase your viral load so to speak but to share with you some facts you may not know. We're going to discuss that prevailing theory of the virus' genesis; track it around the globe; discuss the public health response and some points of interest that are in a few of the towns most devastated by that flu so you can visit when we're up and moving around traveling the planet again. We want to reassure you that we will get through this crisis together.
