Ford Motor Company 1918 Pandemic

The 1918 pandemic would have occurred in the hay day of model T production. Any archive records on what effect was on the company or employees.
just looking at motor numbers for the years around 1918 looks like they dropped way off for 1918. and then popped back for 1919.
