History Alive – Retired Master U.S. Army Nurse, Donna Lupinacci, Presents “The Influenza Pandemic of 1918 Compared to our Present Day Official Covid 19 Response”
Thursday, May 4 at 7:00pm
Lee House Cultural Center, 3205 Olive St., Lemon Grove
Back by popular demand, Donna Lupinacci, retired Kaiser and U. S. Army Master Nurse, will reprise her remarkable lecture on the 1918 influenza pandemic, replete with great photos on a Powerpoint. Many died in Lemon Grove of influenza (“Spanish Flu”) as they did county-wide—and millions worldwide, more than in WW I. Lupinacci will contrast and compare the official public handling of Covid-19 with the 1918 pandemic.
