Support This material does illustrate the subject. Your argument only means that we need more pictures on the same subject. Argument against the room with patients, it could be any outbreak of a disease.. The notion that pictures of ordinary people is good ... they could be bankrobbers. No, imho your arguments against fail to impress.

Oppose per Fir. Not terribly interesting subject matter, as far as the 1918 flu goes. Doesn't do anything to illustrate the scale of the pandemic, or show precautions or victims. Both of Fir's linked photos are much more engaging. I also like
this one, which shows rows of beds, the nurses' face masks, and a patient looking like he's feeling pretty crappy.
