  • Symptoms of Covid-19 are fever, cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, and nausea.While issues and deaths have hit all age groups, Covid-19 has been more serious in older patients or those with underlying health conditions.
  • FACTORS
  • A big factor in the worldwide spread of the flu of 1918 was increased travel and WWI where soldiers, sailors, and civilians alike spread the disease.

  • ANTI-MASK LEAGUE!
  • Research to develop a vaccine began almost immediately. Some cities instituted travel restrictions and mask mandates while others did not. Some schools closed and switched to remote learning while others remained open. Conflicting messages regarding precautions added to confusion.
