In 1918 Clinton County, flu talk turned from sarcasm to seriousness, then tragedy: How we dealt with pandemic of 1918 Part 1
By Shelby Boatman - For the News Journal
Editor’s Note: This is Part 1 of a 2-part series on how the nation, and specifically Clinton County, faced the pandemic of 1918. The series will continue later next week.
The 2020 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) came as quite a surprise to the nation last year.
Communities including our own here in Clinton County were placed under lockdown, favorite restaurants and shops were closed, and social distancing was encouraged.
Our families gathered around the television, radio, or even outlets like Facebook as press conferences and new health orders were enacted daily. The current residents of Clinton County had never experienced a worldwide pandemic such as this in their lifetime.
