A
Tale of Two Cities:
How St. Louis and Philadelphia dealt
with the flu
epidemic of 1918
Welcome to "Tale
of Two Cites". This is a lecture developed by Professor
William Stanhope of the Institute for Biosecurity at Saint
Louis University. This lecture recounts how two cities
chose to react to the 1918-1919 "Spanish Flu" pandemic
and the consequences that resulted from implementing each
set of decisions. This lecture is historical but also designed
to promote discussion and critical thinking amongst those
involved in disaster planning efforts related to infectious
disease outbreaks. |
