What It Was Really Like To Live Through The ‘Spanish Flu’ Pandemic In 1918-1919

Social gathering places like theatres and bars were closed

As it was known that the transmission of disease among individuals is fast. All the places that served as the magnetic spots in the cities were closed to avoid large crowds. All the movie theaters, dance halls, and other entertainment spots were shut down. Some of the major and large events were also canceled. New York City kept the movie houses running while keeping a close check on the regulation of the theaters.

On the bright side, all these social distancing methods undertaken by the cities paid off. There was a huge reduction in the number of flu cases in the coming days. Similar to history, the spread of COVID-19 also led to shutting down of all public places around the world.
