| Sumario: | Introduction: This article analyzes the political and social impacts of the Spanish flu in Mato Grosso and brings reflections on the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, it intends to recover the memory of the Spanish flu by analyzing the records of the Mato Grosso press at the time. Discussion: The epidemic known as “Influenza Hespanhola”, marked the beginning of the twentieth century, and has numerous similarities with the situation we are facing today, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the 100 years that separate them, especially in relation to the denial posture of the authorities in the past and in the present times. Conclusions: The rescue of the memory of the Spanish flu offers lessons and experiences that could be used at local and national levels to fight the new coronavirus. |
