the flu pandemic of 1918 went away in the summer but.....

came back in the fall and winter. I understand coronavirus is different but thought this was interesting.

The pandemic is commonly believed to have occurred in three waves. Unusual flu-like activity was first identified in U.S. military personnel during the spring of 1918. Flu spread rapidly in military barracks where men shared close quarters. The second wave occurred during the fall of 1918 and was the most severe. A third wave of illness occurred during the winter and spring of 1919.

I was in my car listening to NPR and they had somebody on who mentioned this.
