From Nat. Geo. "Today's Big Question: HOW DOES A COMMUNITY FLATTEN THE CURVE -- AND KEEP IT FLAT?"

[Pluvious]

Some interesting history from our handling of the "The great influenza of 1918"



I like the quote at the end, from 1665:

The taverns are fair full of gadabouts making merry this eve. Though I may press my face against the window like an urchin at a confectioner’s, I am tempted not by the sweetmeats within. A dram in exchange for the pox is an ill bargain indeed.

-Samuel Pepys, 1665

( English diarist, parliamentarian, on the bubonic plague )
