What we can learn from the dynamics of the 1889 ‘Russian flu’ pandemic for the future trajectory of COVID‐19

Summary A study of the contemporary medical literature for patient symptoms from the so‐called ‘Russian flu’ pandemic from 1889 revealed clinical observations that resemble COVID‐19 (Brüssow and Brüssow, 2021, Microb Biotechnol). If one accepts the hypothesis that this pandemic was a prior coronavir...
