Ep 20 - Letters Home from the Spanish Flu Heroes, with Professor Kandace Bogaert

In Part 2, we get to hear a more personal side to the Spanish Flu from a unique collection that was given to Professor Kandace Bogaert in one of her lectures by an audience member. As an award-winning researcher, she talks about what we can learn from it, as well as allows us a glimpse inside the lives of the heroes in those barrack hospital wards--both those who lie in their beds hoping to recover, and those who give them treatment, and write to the patient's families in the dead of the night, to keep the hope alive.
