Connecting Spanish Flu Historical Texts with Current Pandemic
Description (Dublin Core)
My essay shows just how similar the Spanish flu outbreak is with the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasizes the fact that we should've been so much more prepared today, with all of our modern technology and science, than we were in 1918. The newspaper article I look at also shows the shocking differences between the two, like the zero urgency for quarantining and the different kinds of masks and methods that were used to try and treat these illnesses.
essay comparing a historical newspaper article from the 1918 spanish flu with the COVID-19 pandemic, I wrote the essay and got the newspaper article from 1918 Chicago Daily Tribune
Sienna Gudino created the essay, Dr. W. A. Evans created the historical text I analyzed
