How better off the world is now in 2020 to deal with novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic as compared to influenza pandemic around a century ago
I am slightly over the halfway mark of viewing a documentary video on 1918 (to 1920) influenza pandemic, which focuses on USA role & impact. It is tough viewing and so readers who prefer not to see such suffering, should NOT view the video.
I have already found it to be great teaching material about the pandemic that swept the world around a century ago, and I think viewing it may help to better understand dangers of current novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic and how to try to protect oneself and others from it. So I think it is worth the time and worth watching the really tough stuff shown in the documentary video, if one can handle it.
The 1918-1920 influenza pandemic infected hundreds of millions of people and killed tens of millions worldwide, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu.
1918 Spanish Flu historical documentary | Swine Flu Pandemic | Deadly plague of 1918, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDY5COg2P2c, around 40 minutes, published on 1st Oct. 2018, has over 5 million views.
Main part of the description: "Historical documentary about 1918 Swine Flu or Spanish Flu and the role of World War I in spreading the disease among troops making it into a worldwide plague of devastating proportions. The video covers where it began, how and where it spread, the symptoms, how it affected America and whether it could happen again."
