Like last week's topic, week three's topic will require a bit of research.  Otherwise, the rules are the same as Topic #1.  Be sure to list all your sources--with a minimum of 3--at the end of your post (and yes it is all right to post your sources separately in this forum, in case you forget them the first time).  See the complete instructions in Module 1. Topic #3:  part 1:  Now a look at yet another pandemic, the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918.  What happened, exactly?  What factors made the world particularly susceptible to this disease at that time?  How many people died in all?  How many in the U.S.?  How was it treated?  What similarities and differences in preventative measures can you see between this influenza pandemic and COVID-19?  Rate the effectiveness of these measures. To give you a start, click here  (Links to an external site.)  for some background information on this deadly topic. part 2:  And on the light side, what's the most absurd rumor you've heard of concerning coronavirus?  Why is it so ridiculous? Also, remember to respond to the posts of 2 of your classmates.  It is required.
