The importance of getting existing vaccines (for other diseases).Quarantine of the arrivals from the sea,.Closing of schools, places of worship & congregations,. Keeping your doors/windows open for fresh air,.Stupidity, arrogance and sorrow were there a century before too. Every alternate page I see huge similarities with the current pandemic and the wide differences in the very next page. The book has excellent coverage on the pandemic’s impact around the world. If we had thought COVID-19 had travelled fast and wide around the world thanks to cheap air-travel, think again, Spanish Flu was no way different. It was captivating!Īstonishing to learn on how the world we live and humans as a species have been shaped by infections for thousands of years. Had it not been the 2020 pandemic, I doubt I would’ve picked this book but I am glad to have read the book. I read (listened to the audiobook) this well-researched book on the 1918 Spanish Flu – Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How it Changed the World by Laura Spinney published in 2017. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
