Letter: Reply to Mike Watson's story

Jeff Johnson writes:

Mike, it seems that we are eerily in that same situation that happened after the ‘great war.’ Maybe that is one of different reasons the U.S. was reluctant to enter another foreign war-as in WW2.

We, as a modern nation, are dealing with those circumstances again. However, we are spoiled with more abundant electric and phones in our homes.

Also, more advance medicine and medical techniques, indoor plumbing, better transportation and travel, television, computers, and "magical" cell phones.

Nevertheless, we now have city mail carriers and RFD (rural free delivery.) - Jeff

The weather this weekend is going to be nice and we all are looking forward to getting out of the house. But with everything going on it is especially important to remember social distancing and healthy at home during this lovely weekend. All we do now will help shorten the time for us to get to the end of our current situation.

Adair County 4-H is issuing a Family Social Distancing & Healthy at Home Photo Challenge. This challenge is open to all in Adair County. You do not have to be involved in 4-H to submit photos.

We want you to take photos to model the best practices of social distancing and healthy at home. Make sure the photos involve the whole family including if possible the family pets.

Do not send more than three photos per submission. The photos will be used to put together a Social Distancing and Healthy at Home video presentation. The presentation will be uploaded to the Adair County 4-H Youtube page and will be shared on Social Media and with local media.

Remember all the pictures should model best practices for social distancing and healthy at home and remember to have some fun with it. Please submit all photos by email or text. To submit by email please use trose@uky.edu or you can text to 270-634-0401. All photos need to be submitted by 8pmCT on Sunday, April 5, 2020.

Social Distancing practiced a century ago

By Mike Watson

The corona-virus of 2020 is a serious outbreak that has already taken numerous lives and will continue to spread, as such things do, until it has 'run its course' and an effective medication is created and successfully in use. We must all keep vigilant and self-protect by staying away from those who may have been exposed. There is no harm nor foul in being safe and secure.

There is nothing new under the sun...

One century ago the world was much different, but also much the same. The United States had remained largely isolated from the conflict in Europe that erupted in 1914, but trade had continued and so had immigration. When our nation entered the conflict in April 1917 millions of American men registered for possible, even likely, service on the front lines.

After a long hard fight, the War To End All Wars--what we call now term World War I--came to a close with the Armistice in 11 November 1919. Later, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Europe and the rest of the world began picking up the shattered pieces.

Millions of American service men headed home. Slowly at first, then in a torrent. Shipped back to the United States, men were released at various points to return home, some permanently, others for a furlough of days or weeks, then to report elsewhere to finish their hitches in the various branches of service.

As these men came home, they often brought the influenza, which had been raging in Europe, on board returning ships, and in the camps here at home. Men were treated and then released, but some had a light case, or showed no symptoms at all. They came home. Family and friends were then, by virtue of close physical contact, unknowingly infected. So the 'flu' raged here at home. Adair County was not immune.

The first cases of this new influenza appeared in Adair and surrounding counties in the fall of 1918. By the end of January 1919 there was great concern about the spread and various precautions were taken. According to issues of the Adair County News, from January and February of that year, the following steps were taken:
