The Dodge Brothers

Just to connect the Dodge brothers to today's "unprecedented" pandemic, read the following:

"By 1919, the Dodge Brothers Company was manufacturing 500 cars daily and still couldn't keep up with customer demand.The following year, however, Horace Dodge got sick. The rumors at the time said he had consumed bad liquor, but his physician said he contracted Spanish flu, which would kill over 500,000 Americans during the epidemic. John Dodge, who slept outside his brother's bedroom while he was ill, soon caught the same influenza. He passed away at age 55 on January 14, 1920. Horace recovered but by many accounts was a broken man from the loss of the older brother he was so close to. He died at age 52 from cirrhosis of the liver on December 10, 1920."
