The Tablet, November 2, 1918

Ed Wilkinson's informative summary of the 1918 epidemic in the four counties of the Diocese of Brooklyn has found its way to Cruxnow.org, link HERE. There are references to masks and outdoor celebration of the Mass, without "social distancing." Father Bernard Quinn wrote from the trenches. Help from Church staff is narrated, not that much about how the faithful suffered.
