[ARC5] radio and the Spanish Flu epidermic

[Gordon White]

       Just read in a newspaper that "historian Nancy Tomes has shown 
that in 1918, since radio broadcasts and newsreels were focused on war 
news..." they did not give news of the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic.

     As KDKA in Pittsburgh was the first broadcast station and it began 
with results of the Cox-Harding election in November 1920, unlikely that 
there was ANY radio broadcast news of the flu in 1918.
