BACKGROUND
This presentation will examine aspects of the 1918 global influenza pandemic as it unfolded in Java and other locations across the world. Analysis of comparative data from Java, India, the United States, and other countries provides insights into policies that may have shaped how the pandemic spread across the globe and the toll it took in lives. The lessons from history are timely as Indonesia confronts the COVID-19 pandemic and enters the holy month of Ramadan, commonly marked by mass mobility of people transiting within and across provinces. A number of lessons can be drawn for public health policies as well as issues that local governments, health practitioners, and communities should potentially consider, anticipate, and prevent to minimize the risk of exacerbating the current pandemic.
