HA HA! I've got you on this one!!!! During the Spanish Flu epidemic of the 20's,
the only community in North America that had absolutely no cases of this flu did
so by enacting a policy of posting guards at the edge of town with orders to
shoot anyone from the outside who refused to turn away. This was a small
community in Alaska.
Too bad I didn't make a bet with you on this....I'm too nice.
