(Develop at least 2) If you simply say that you do not have any questions you will not receive any credit for that answer. Questions 2:Please post one original post and response to a peers’ post. The topic this week is about the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. Watch this video (5mins, LA Times, 5.12.2020) and post your reaction and reflection about 1) what similarities about COVID-19 and the 1918 Influenza Pandemics come to mind? and 2) what learnings and lessons from the 1918 Pandemic can or should inform how we respond to COVID-19? Tie in a class topic or discussion. Video link: https://youtu.be/P1yBuoSGXu8this is classmate post reply to this “The similarities are very outstanding. It feels like we have not adapted better ways to handle a mass pandemic in the United States. The spanish flu did not come from Spain similar to the covid 19 virus did and how it did not come from china. In 1918 there were problems with cities not abiding by safe regulations, causing more people to die in San francisco. Which is shocking because it is now one of the most progressive cities in the U.S. In modern day with covid 19 there were two sides. People who believed in the virus, as well as its capabilities. Then there were people who didn’t believe in the virus. It then got broken up into political sides. This is due to President Trump not acknowledging the virus. Also similar to president Woodrow Wilson never acknowledged the spanish flu. Leaving many people stranded and without guidance. What we should have learned quickly is that masks were life saving. If masks were life saving back in 1918 they have to be life saving now. This is something that most Americans still don’t believe in, post pandemic. To tie this into class we can find out how many people were sick because they attended churches in San Francisco during the Spanish flu. And compare that to people in Los Angeles who were on strict quarantine regulations also during the spanish flu“
