I saw a youtube video some time ago, that was about the Spanish Flu. And it ended with: something like this could happen again in the future (or something in that line). Publish date of that video? December 2019.... That was eerie!

About the OP: I almost never read books that take place in the here and now. So, any books that I'd read now would take place in the future and they might reference it. But would I read a fiction book set during that period if I read those kind of books? Yes. Simply because I love to read/hear stories about how others got through that time.
