The first U.S. cases of the 1918 influenza pandemic came in March. By fall, 7 cities — San Francisco, Seattle, Oakland, Sacramento, Denver, Indianapolis and Pasadena, California — had mandatory mask laws. San Francisco was at the forefront, becoming known as the “masked city.” https://t.co/UFyFR6Z3J2 — PolitiTweet.org

Masks were called muzzles, germ shields and dirt traps. They gave people a “pig-like snout.” Some snipped holes in their masks to smoke cigars. Others fastened them to dogs in mockery. Bandits used them to rob banks. There were calls to protest, like this one in California. https://t.co/T1AJExyccv — PolitiTweet.org

Complaints mounted about masks shortly after the first order was passed — even after the flu killed an estimated 195,000 Americans in October 1918 alone. The penalty for violators in San Francisco was $5 to $10, or 10 days’ imprisonment. https://t.co/lvUhLf9ax4 — PolitiTweet.org
