I'm sure that the Spanish Flu would have been far less severe had the same hygienic principles that we use today were used then. Not a medical historian, so I have no idea when masks came into use in the medical setting. So, it would be interesting to compare the two pandemics using the same parameters ... either hand washing, isolating and mask wearing for both or not using them for both. All I know is that it seems like viruses get smarter a lot faster than people do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
