The 'spanish' flu is one such example.

The Spanish flu spread throughout the world and had 3 peaks, philadelphia basically being responsible for one with their refusal to follow the guidelines.
Everyone KNEW the guidelines, but people thought they were better than them (*looks at trump*) and now they are being made to look silly.
I feel pretty good about the idea that we live our lives very differently today than the world did in 1919 (population density) and that most people who lived through the Spanish flu aren't able to recall those times very well.
My contention is that we haven't really started our covid battle.
