The 1918 Spanish flu was the first of two pandemics caused by H1N1 influenza A virus; the second was the 2009 swine flu pandemic. [Wikipedia]. During spring/early summer 2020, Indiana State University hosted two sections of a new course:  "Into the Unknown: a unified exploration of COVID-19" [UC 110]. One of the weekly modules discusses the historical and political aspects of this first pandemic. This site provides links to many articles from around Indiana. Since 2018 was the centenary, there were many articles published that year that discuss the pandemic and share historical photos. Looking through these articles, you will spot many similarities to the stories coming out of the current pandemic. During Spring 2020, ISU offered the course again, re-named "Navigating the COVID World".
