Abstract

This chapter focuses on the aftermath of the 1918 pandemic. It examines what if any differences the pandemic made in Ireland in the short term by examining the reaction of the Local Government Board for Ireland to the next influenza scare that occurred in 1920. It also considers the response to the viral disease Encephalitis Lethargica, which was prevalent for ten years after the 1918 pandemic, and was considered by some to be a health complication of influenza. Finally, comparisons are made between the responses of local authorities and central government to the influenza pandemic in 1918–19 and those from the central government in the United Kingdom and Ireland to Covid-19, (arguably the most severe pandemic since 1918-1919). It discusses, what if, any lessons were learnt from 1918 and if they have been applied to the Covid-19 pandemic.
