I think you're speaking of the Spanish Flu (which wasn't Spanish) of 1918 to 1919. It is estimated to have killed a minimum of 50 million people. This was H1N1 . It killed more people than the whole of the preceding World War 1 (1914-1918).
Yes it's the one I was speaking of. Depending on what you read gives you the numbers of people hurt and killed by it. I read 20 million in an article. I'm sure you're article is more accurate.

I’m home. I ended up going to A&E.
temp is still 38.3. Gone down slightly.
been given meds for headaches. And been told to rest Rest rest.
I’ve had a mouth swab done to check for covid. I get results back tomorrow or Friday.
what ever it is it’s awful.
I’ve had blood work done aswell. As a precaution I’ve been advised to self isolate for 14 days.
Thank you all for the best wishes. I appreciate it ??
Please get well really soon. Hoping and praying your test is negative and yet you have time to recuperate. If it's negative maybe your kids would love to help you.

There’s no capital city of Assyria currently because it doesn’t exist as a country any more.
The capital letter of Assyria is A.
Almost there.
The capital letter thing is probably worth a pretty obvious point, i suppose.
But , more than half of Syria's indigenous proclaim Assyria as an independent country with the capital being Harran, also known as Hellenopolis or Carrhae.

Clearly I have an odd sense of smell because I happen to like the smell of Gorgonzola and it is so fabulously delicious that maybe I overlook funny smells. There is nothing better than a good strong cheese because it provides amazing flavor and enhancement to any food. Now on the other hand, Durion fruit should go off the planet earth.

I think it smells like dirty feet and armpits.
Does it smell anything like Limburger? I've read that Limburger will actually heal a stomach ulcer. Was also told that by people that swear that it does. And oh my garsh that cheese stinks to high heaven.

The hurricane flew by, dropping many Many inches of rain. Wind, damage, destruction here in Maryland. At leat two tornadoes touched down. Luckily, locally we only had a ton (many inches) of rain. My banana took a hit, high winds knocked a few branches down. It will survive. Ive already pruned back a few branches & our Sully will enjoy them for her afternoon snack.
