Despite all the advances of the past 103 years, the current pandemic has killed more Americans than the deadliest pandemic of the 20th century. And it's clear some mistakes made back then have been repeated, an epidemiologist says.
More than 675,000 people in the United States have died from Covid-19, according to Johns Hopkins University. That surpasses the estimated US death toll from the deadliest pandemic of the 20th century.
"If you would have talked to me in 2019, I would have said I'd be surprised," said epidemiologist Stephen Kissler of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
