I'd like to read the book to find out if the current political administration has botched the approach to Covid-19 as badly as President Wilson did by not even acknowledging that the flu existed in 1918. Nice review!
I have a feeling you will enjoy this book. Give it a try.
Thanks for taking the time to read this review!

I'm also grateful to the author for penning this book down. This pandemic era must be accurately documented. Thanks for the comment.

Comparing the two dreadful pandemics, I guess the book will give some insight into how to prepare better for the next. The review is very insightful and informative. Great job 👍
Thanks for the kind comment.

The Spanish flu and Covid-19 are the two most deadly viruses ever. So it nice to have a detailed book about them so that we can at least understand what we are dealing.

Thanks for taking the time to read the review and comment. I trust the book will answer some of your questions. It is evident that politics still play a pivotal role in the state's responses to the pandemic we are currently facing. Enjoy!

Well, I hope you will get a chance to read the book. It is not easy to tell whether Covid is "better" or "worse" than Spanish flue especially because we are still going through the pandemic. However, we are in a much better position now than they were during the Spanish flu years. Scientific and medical advances are our advantage.
