I assume this comic is from 1918 because of the flu reference, but I don't know for sure.

Crazy how little changes in 110 years

There's a book I think by John Barry about the 1918 flu and everyone did literally the same things as in 2020. Politicized it, refused masking, fought vaccinations, the whole thing. Great read.

Sounds like a depressing read

It's pretty incredible how relevant a lot of the comics in this series are today.
