Social - Tournai citizens burying the dead during the black death

# data[].attributes.body
Both black death and COVID 19 had a big impact on society. During the black death, lots of people were suffering from it and even died due to the pandemic, which decreased half of the European population. Same as the disease we are seeing right now, COVID also killed over 848K people, which can tell it already decreased the number of people in this world and number will continue growing.

Many buildings and facilities were closed due to the pandemic, and physical meet ups of at least 20 people were not allowed, so that the flu would not spread to others that easily. This shows a direct connection between the Spanish Flu and COVID-19, as both of them made social interactions more limited, and social distancing between people was needed to try and limit the number of people that were getting affected.

Social Interactions - "No Mask, No Ride"

# data[].attributes.body
In this image, the conductor is not letting a commuter ride the streetcar, as he is not wearing a mask. This shows how similar situations such as this are to situations people face now, as many people will not provide service to those who do not wear masks, while others do not like to wear masks and choose to protest against wearing them. Much like in the early 19th century, many people nowadays do not accept people who refuse to wear a mask, which can create even more conflict.

Social - social distancing during the black death

# data[].attributes.body
Social distancing and quarantine were both super important during the black death and Covid, because it allows to stop spreading the disease all over around. In the image, it shows the doctor is telling citizens to stay home to stop spreading the disease and to get back the normal life they had before the black death. Since the first time people had quarantine during the black death, during Covid 19, which is now, people still have to stay at home to prevent the disease spread widely.

Social - labourers during the black death

# data[].attributes.body
During the black death and Covid, there was a huge impact on social. In the image, it shows how the labourers during the black death were died from the disease and instead of crops and produces in the cart, there were died labourers, meaning that lots of labourers suffered from the black death and had a huge impact on losing big number of labourers, which then it's harder for the remaining labourers to maintain the fields and crops. Similar to Covid, instead of labourers, workers are losing their job since not a lot of people go out and buy things outside as much as before. So it's also a big lost for the workers.

Social - different classes of living conditions 

# data[].attributes.body
During the time of the black death, wealthy families and poor families had different living conditions. The higher class people might enjoyed their time being at home themselves. On the other side, middle and lower class people didn't get any benefits from the living conditions, they had to stay in one house with other people they do not know, which can also have higher risk of getting the disease. In the image, it's most likely that middle or lower class people who stayed in one house got infected by the black death together as a group. Same as Covid, the cases increase a lot if one got infected and spread the virus to the others in a public place where it's sealed.

Social - Organizations created to help with the deceased

# data[].attributes.body
During the yellow fever in Philadelphia,  many were lead to their deaths since a cure and origin was yet to be known. This resulted in organizations to be developed in order to clean up after the many dead bodies. However, as there was a lack of support and technology to improve sanitation, the volunteers had to use their bare hands, as no other method was introduced at that time to carry the deceased into carriages filled with the dead and living, who were all suffering from the fever.  The unsanitary conditions caused further contamination which affected families and the environment. This shows us that a disease or pandemic would impact the population to create organizations that would provide basic necessities and help, which is similar to the ongoing situation of COVID, as many support groups offer masks and voluntary medical services. (Sofia)

Social & Political Interactions - "Polls Not Opened In This Precinct; Too Much Influenza"

# data[].attributes.body
The Spanish Flu prohibited political interactions such as voting polls, and social interactions between people who were supposed to help with elections. This image shows that a voting event has been cancelled in their precinct, as too many people have been infected by the influenza, and are unable to participate in this event. This is similar to how COVID-19 prohibited interactions between political and social parties, as quarantine has caused both governors and citizens of each country to decrease physical interactions with others.

Political Interactions: Medical care among the government

# data[].attributes.body
The picture shows many Federalists and Republicans fighting to take on the issue of the Philadelphia's yellow fever epidemic to strengthen their agendas and reputation. From this, the topic of medical care during this virus was popular among the political parties, which resulted in the medical care being maintained. This shows how the disease did not majorly impact the government, but they still made changes and interacted further to improve the medical field for the yellow fever, which in response was well receive after many shelters were created for the overflow of patients and hypothetical treatments were constantly posted to the newsletter.  This situation is similar to COVID-19 because it impacted the government to support its population in examples like relief packages and enhanced mask production. (Sofia)

This image shows a lady using an unusual version of a face mask. This showcases another invention that was created to attempt to prevent the spreading and catching of the Spanish Flu, and also unintentionally shows a connection between ineffective ways of wearing masks in the early 1900s and ineffective ways of wearing masks now, since some people don’t cover their mouths or noses when wearing masks.

When the Spanish Flu was terrorising its victims, some people tried to ward off the influenza by wearing bags of camphor, an organic compound that is used in ointments, around their necks. This introduces one of the many ways people during the early 20th century invented to defend themselves against the influenza: wearing camphor around their necks, and injecting camphor into their bodies.

While at war, soldiers brought disease, or the Spanish Flu, to their homes, and after coming back from fighting, they were met with the lack of hospital space. This shows how this influenza made society create more shelters for themselves, and how the Spanish Flu majorly impacted their families and their environment. This is also similar to COVID-19, as facilities were created purely because of lack of space and large amounts of victims.

In this image, two sad-looking Red Cross workers are carrying a deceased person. This picture helps reveal how large of an impact this influenza had on families from all around the world, as many members passed from getting infected, much like how many people have died from COVID so far. It also shows how their knowledge on influenza was limited, and how it was difficult for them to invent technologies that would help combat this illness.

Interaction between human and environment - clothes being burned 

# data[].attributes.body
Interaction between human and environment was a big cause of pollution. Firstly, in the image, people were burning the clothes who had passed away due to black death to prevent the disease to spread. However, burning a clothes might have some effects on the environment, which then can lead to health problems due to the bad air people are breathing in. This is similar to Covid, where people has more trash to throw away since they're staying home most of the time. These trash can go to ocean which then will have a huge impact on animals living in the water, the water will be worse and overall impact the environment.

These illustrations shows the development of a man's condition with yellow fever. The disease during this time was incurable which lead to the impact of many people in the area contracting yellow fever and producing major symptoms. While these patients were suffering, an efficient plan was not introduced yet. This shows how a major spread of this fever could impact their environment considering the population did not know what safety measures must be taken and the lack of technology slowed down the process to finding a cure. However, compared to today, the population is more updated by a pandemics details and technology has improved, allowing us to find a faster and more efficient treatment. (Sofia)

Interaction with Environment: Churches were used to aid lack of space with increase of patients

# data[].attributes.body
This picture is of a document during the time of the yellow fever that documents the estimated deaths in September 1789. The fever majorly affected the environment because contamination throughout family members were common as adults and children were registered for care. Eventually, churches turned into holding facilities for patients as there was a overflow in hospitals.  This shows how a disease can impact the population to create or use additional space as shelters for patients. The yellow fever also impacted families as well since adults and children were exposed to contracting the virus. This situation is similar to COVID-19 because facilities such as Asia-World Expo had to be used for accommodating patients since there was a overflow of cases throughout hospitals. (Sofia)

This picture is the vacant space outside of Philadelphia, Bush-Hill, which became a public hospital for the overflowing patients suffering from yellow fever created by the Committee. A large group of patients were treated here among with medical staff monitoring. This picture reveals how the disease impacted the environment majorly within and outside Philadelphia because the congested hospitals were not able to care for the huge amount of people, which was why open spaced must be used in Bush-Hill. This connects with the situation of COVID-19 currently because the lack of space and the growing number of patients forced the government to use other recreational grounds. (Sofia)

During the black death, most of the people were Christians, meaning that they were believing in God. However, after the black death had occurred,  some Christians starting to think that God is the one who have give them the disease by a punishment, which is not true. Similar to Covid, some of the people are blaming the religious to causing the Covid even worse because people always gather together in most of the religious.

Cultural: Beliefs and Ideologies about the Blacks

# data[].attributes.body
This picture is a narrative of the Proceedings of the Black People during the Late Awful Calamity in Philadelphia. The authors, Reverends Jones and Richard Allen reported about the courageous work done by Philadelphia’s African American community during the yellow fever as the black community were persuaded into thinking they were immune to the virus. As they were facing shortage on human resource, Blacks were believed to have special immunity over white people, which they should use that to help take care of patients. This depicts how the disease impacted the way beliefs and ideologies could be further generated through society. During this time, Blacks were less regarded and white people held opinions and power, which is why the past population could be influenced by the idea that the “disease was lighter in blacks than in white people”.  This is similar to COVID-19 because beliefs were made mostly between white supremacists in America of how they are protected and they cant contract the virus, which is why they see no reason to wear a mask or other protective equipment. (Sofia)
