The Spanish Flu likely started in Kansas at a US Army base. Infected soldiers carried it to the European theater and it spread like wildfire. It was called the Spanish Flu because Spain, not involved in the war at the time, allowed the press to report on the flu. The US, Britain, and others involved in the war, wouldn't allow the press to report on it for fear of tipping their hand as the war progressed.
So, OP and his arse licking buddies, are stone cold morons.
