Interesting article in the Smithstonian br John Barry in 2017 giving his research on the 1918 pandemic and his conclusion was truthful information to the public was the most important thing to gain cooperation in social distancing to slow down spread. That's why not telling from the beginning that we didn't have enough data on the current infection rate to produce good models until more testing was done was a mistake. The inflated numbers have made many not trust our leaders.
