What should be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic for the next coronavirus pandemics?

Abstract

<p class="MsoNormal">The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that the world should have a proper protocol for the handling of such pandemics. A similar severe coronavirus pandemic occurs in 1918 (The spinach flu pandemic) and took two years to finish. Both pandemics took a lot of lives.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was prevented with lower healthcare facilities. The main prevention method was social distancing. The effect of this social distancing was obvious when it was broken in Denver, the USA with its double-humped mortality curve of the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. Even though this pandemic is also a coronavirus pandemic but some differences were observed in COVID-19. This commentary was to discuss the situation that occurs in COVID-19 and compare it to the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 to reach a protocol for handling any possible upcoming coronavirus pandemics.</p>
