What happens when disease strikes a city of two million people, sickening half a million and killing more than 12,000 in just six weeks and 20,000 in six months? During the fall of 1918, in the last months of World War I, Philadelphia hosted the largest parade in its history. Within days, influenza casualties overwhelmed hospitals.
