    In this episode, we draw chilling parallels between the COVID-19 pandemic and the 1918 influenza outbreak in Malaya, reminding us that history often repeats itself.

    • Introduction to pandemic parallels (COVID-19 vs. 1918 influenza)
    • Historical overview of the 1918 flu in Malaya
    • Key statistics and comparisons with modern pandemics
    • The societal impact of pandemics on daily life
    • Reflections on how far we've come in medical knowledge
