Masking America, 1918-1919

Více o knize

The book explores the historical context of masking as a public health measure during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918-1919 and its resurgence in 2020. It highlights how masking emerged as a secondary response after initial strategies proved ineffective, shedding light on the decisions made by health officials and political leaders across different jurisdictions. By drawing parallels between the two pandemics, the narrative examines the evolution of public health responses and the implications of masking as a strategy in combating disease.
