In this podcast episode:
In November 1918 relief came in San Francisco. The Spanish flu had largely spared the city, or so it seemed. People took off their masks and went outside again. But a few months later, the Spanish flu reappeared. The second wave hit the population with full force. More people became infected and the death rate increased significantly.
In this episode of the Corona podcast, David Vogel talks to our science editor Stephanie Lahrtz about the wave movements of pandemics and the Federal Council’s plan to further relax the measures from May 11th.
All episodes of the Corona podcast can be found in this overview.
