Key Focus

  • The 1918 Spanish flu's second wave was even more devastating than the first wave," Ravina Kullar, an infectious-disease expert with the Infectious Diseases Society of America and adjunct faculty member at the University of California, Los Angeles, told MarketWatch.
    A mutated strain would be a worst-case scenario for a second wave of SARS-CoV-2 this fall or winter.
    Though the 1918 pandemic is forever associated with Spain, this strain of H1N1 was discovered earlier in Germany, France, the U.K. But similar to the Communist Party's response to the first cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, World War I censorship buried or underplayed those reports.
  • The 2020 coronavirus and 1918 Spanish influenza pandemics share many similarities, but they also diverge on one
    "A major difference between Spanish flu and COVID-19 is the age distribution of fatalities," according to Deutsche Bank DB, +4.40%.
