Summary:
This week I continue to read this book. In this chapter, it talks about another kind of war after World War One. This war is influenza. In 1918, the influenza almost killed 20 million people. That was more than the total of deaths during the four years of the Great War. In Wasnington D.C., there isn't enough room in hospital. A new word was being used. It was normalcy. That is what people wanted. They wanted to go back to the good old days before the war, but time won't march backward.
I like that word "normalcy." It's so descriptive! I think I'll use it the next time I want things to get back to normal.
