In this episode, we draw chilling parallels between the COVID-19 pandemic and the 1918 influenza outbreak in Malaya, reminding us that history often repeats itself.

The core message is clear: despite the challenges of today, those in the past faced unimaginable trials with fewer resources and limited knowledge. It’s a sobering reflection on resilience and survival in times of global crises.

Episode Overview:
  • Introduction to pandemic parallels (COVID-19 vs. 1918 influenza)
  • Historical overview of the 1918 flu in Malaya
  • Key statistics and comparisons with modern pandemics
  • The societal impact of pandemics on daily life
  • Reflections on how far we've come in medical knowledge
  • Closing thoughts on resilience and health crises
