THE 1918 FLU EPIDEMIC,
AND WHAT IT CAN TELL US TODAY
Online (NY
State Library)
222 Madison
Avenue - Albany, NY (518) 474-2274.
Picture a country
in the grip of a respiratory virus that is sweeping the globe.
Schools are closed, theatres are dark, hospitals are straining
to keep up with the demand. Death-counts are rising, and there
is a running public debate about whether wearing a mask really
does protect you. This certainly sounds like the life we are
living today. But it also describes what Americans were facing
more than a hundred years ago, during the influenza pandemic of
1918.
No two times in history are just the same, and neither are any
two pandemics. The goal of this talk is to provide an overview
of the 1918 flu pandemic, and to explore how it resembles, and
how it differs from, our own experience with Covid—medically,
socially, economically, and politically. How did American
leaders respond to the epidemic in 1918? What part did World War
I play in the story? What about the role of medicine and
technology? How did individual communities grapple with the
challenge? Overall, what can we learn from America's response to
this long-ago health crisis—a crisis that resembles in so many
ways the one we are facing today?
Sandra Opdycke, Ph.D. is a retired historian. She recently
published When Women Won the Vote, about the woman suffrage
movement. She has also written books about the flu epidemic of
1918, the WPA of the 1930s, and Bellevue Hospital, as well as a
biography of Jane Addams, an historical atlas of American
women's history, and several co-authored books and articles on
social policy. She worked for a number of years at Hudson River
Psychiatric Center, and later taught American History and Urban
History at Bard, Vassar, and Marist Colleges. She serves as an
occasional lecturer at the Center for Lifetime Studies in
Poughkeepsie.

Revolutionary War.
Dr. Christopher Minty is a historian of early America. He
specialized in the history of Revolutionary America, the Early
Republic, loyalism in the Atlantic world, New York City, John
Dickinson and the Adams Family of Massachusetts.
