What It Was Really Like To Live Through The ‘Spanish Flu’ Pandemic In 1918-1919 And How It Compares to Covid-19
Public buildings were converted to hospitals
The scope of affected people due to the flu was so wide that it was out of control. All the active American healthcare facilities could not handle that many patients at a time. So, the communities of the country used their private and public buildings to accommodate the affected people.
Various public buildings like armories accompanied by some private residences were also converted into medical centers for treating people. All of these efforts put up by the communities made it a bit easy for health experts to take care of the infected people. Just like the 1918 flu, the spread of COVID-19 also led to the conversion of soccer stadiums, horse racetracks, and convention centers into hospitals.
