À propos de cet audio

 Alex Calder investigates the devastating 1918 influenza pandemic that killed 50-100 million people worldwide yet was largely forgotten until our recent COVID-19 experience revived interest. The episode explores how this unusually deadly strain targeted healthy young adults through cytokine storms while spreading rapidly through wartime troop movements. Alex reveals how the pandemic's catastrophic death toll catalyzed the development of socialized healthcare systems, accelerated nursing professionalization, transformed hospital design, advanced virology research, and established modern public health institutions including predecessors to the CDC and WHO. Through striking parallels between 1918 responses and COVID-19 measures—from mask mandates to social distancing debates—the episode examines how this "forgotten pandemic" quietly revolutionized modern medicine while demonstrating the cyclical nature of society's relationship with infectious disease threats.
