In the time of crisis around the Spanish Flu which wiped out 50 million from the face of the earth in 1918, a survivor William Sardo Junior shared how people were falling inside their houses dead like insects.
"The Crisis came within the first 2-3 hours of your sickness. You either survived or you were dead. When the flu epidemic hit - somebody would ring let's say they rang the doorbell at 6:00 am in the morning and said my mother just passed away. I want you to take care of the funeral service. That - before the sunset on that day, the whole family would be gone", William Sardo said.
