Sisters die 102 years apart — one from the Spanish flu, the other from coronavirus

A 96-year-old Texas woman died from coronavirus last week, more than a century after her older sister died from the Spanish Flu, according to an obituary and media reports.


Selma Esther Ryan has lived at an Austin assisted living center for the past three years after previously living in San Antonio, WOAI reported.


Her daughter, Vicki Spencer, told KXAN she got a call April 3 that her mother was sick along with four other residents at the center.

Some reporter went to a lot of trouble to put two and two together to get that story.

Too bad that reporter couldn't put in the same effort to figuring out who killed Seth Rich.

Or Jeffrey Epstein.

Or Ron Brown.

Or Vince Foster.
