Comparison of pandemics: COVID-19 and the “Spanish” Flu of 1918-1919

A collection of three articles I found online. Some striking similarities between our current COVID-19 pandemic and the “Spanish” Flu pandemic of 1918-1919. The similarities are not only striking, but in a few cases disturbing. In my opinion there are two main things we have to realize as a society. First, just because we may experience a brief drop in “the curve” doesn’t mean we’ve reached the peak. Secondly, there may just be more than one peak to the curve and, like the “Spanish” Flu pandemic, a subsequent peak may be higher.
