[Comment] Learning from swine influenza, Ebola virus disease🦠 Disease & Outbreaks

Historical lessons from swine flu, Ebola, and Legionnaires' disease outbreaks

In 1976, three major disease outbreaks tested America's public health system: swine flu among troops in New Jersey, Legionnaires' disease linked to a convention in Philadelphia, and a deadly hemorrhagic fever in Africa. These outbreaks revealed both the strengths and gaps in how quickly health officials could identify and respond to new infectious threats. Understanding what worked and what didn't 50 years ago offers lessons for handling disease outbreaks today.
