What are some major differences between the 1918 influenza, and today’s coronavirus pandemic?

1) Accessibility to more advanced medical equipment.

2) Experience on how to study, categorize and treat certain viruses.

3) Stronger and easier communication from the authorities to the people through social media.

4) A lot confusion and misinformation given to the spread of rumors and fake news from ignorant people through social media and the internet.

5) Accessibility to more advanced medicines and antibiotics.

Hope it helps. :)
