The health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the emergency responses decided by state authorities had important social, economic, political and cultural consequences, and also brought the forgotten history of the Spanish flu back to public attention. This contribution compares the two pandemics by drawing atten- tion to the different institutional reactions to the diseases, the transformations of the language of politics, the different social behaviours that emerged in two events that took place one hundred years apart, and their repercussions on the historiographical level.
Keywords: Spanish flu, Covid-19, history and memory, history of epidemics, history of diseases, history of healthcare
