One of the images provided by the California State Library taken during the epidemic known as 'Spanish' in San Francisco, California, in 1918 (photograph reprinted on April 4, 2020). Experts are trying to understand how the new coronavirus COVID-19 disease pandemic could spread by comparing past outbreaks such as SARS, MERS and swine flu. Experts are reportedly comparing the coronavirus epidemic to the Spanish flu pandemic (H1N1 flu virus) of 1918, stating that rigorous social removal and other measures have slowed the spread of the disease and reduced mortality rates.
