¿Necesitamos más llamados de atención? ¡Es hora de prepararnos! El caso de la pandemia de la influenza española
Palabras clave:
influenza de 1918, enfermedades, pandemias, Noruega.Resumen
El artículo se propone mostrar la importancia de estudiar el pasado para tener una perspectiva de cómo se desarrollan las epidemias y las pandemias, y con ello, poder generar propuestas que ayuden a mitigar su impacto. Se presenta un panorama puntual de la influenza de 1918 y las causas que provocaron que en los campos de batalla europeos se produjera la incubación de esa enfermedad que tenía un rápido desarrollo y provocó altas tasas de mortandad en una población que sufría desnutrición y también mostraba grandes afectaciones a causa de la guerra. La investigación expone el caso de Noruega, donde la mitad de la población fue afectada, pero el índice de mortalidad fue mínimo, pues sólo falleció el 1?% de los enfermos, muchos de los cuales pertenecían a la etnia Sami.
