Since appearing last night on the ABC program The Drum, Dr Patrick Hodgson's thesis "Flu, society and the state: the political, social and economic implications of the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic in Queensland", has been downloaded 418 times. The thesis which can be accessed through JCU's ResearchOnline tells the now familiar story of facemasks, movement restrictions, social distancing and community response. Are we at risk of repeating the past? Take a look at this prophetic thesis to see what lessons we can learn.
