1918 vs 2020: How has the spread of the disease been controlled?

It was 1918, the United States and the rest of the world was at war that began in 1914 right after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, when something else started to devastate the entire World. In the spring of 1918, the war still going strong, the first cases of the Spanish flu emerged at a U.S Army Camp in Kansas.

What measurements did the government take to control the spread of the disease? The Spanish Flu, unknown where it originated, took the lives of 40 of soldiers out of 1000 at the Army camp in Kansas, while the rest were sent overseas to fight in the war. The flu was being downplayed by government officials who just had passed the “1918 Sedition Act” which made it a crime to say anything that the government would perceive as harming the country or the war effort. This action may have led to the downplay of the risk of the flu and the extent of the spread, out of fear for something that might go against the Sedition Act. The government officials did not see this outbreak as a threat and by the end of 1918 during the second wave of the pandemic 45,000 U.S. Army Soldiers had died from the flu and it was emerging in U.S citizens.
