I found this entry to be especially interesting and timely because it mentions the Spanish Flu, which Lucius calls La Grippe. The phrase la gripe directly translates to 'the flu' in Spanish, but more specifically, and contextually in the early 1920s, it was used to refer to the Spanish Flu, a virus that caused the worst global pandemic in recorded history. By the time of this entry, the last few waves of the Spanish Flu had already broken, but Lucius seems to have attributed a patient's illness to it. In addition, he also comes down with the flu at this time and so does his son and others around him, which he logs in his diary. Notably, he does not record any fatalities from the flu.
