It’s January 2020 and the first case of COVID-19 has been confirmed in the United States.
Federal policymakers have asked you, a historian, to offer lessons from past
epidemics/pandemics to inform contemporary policy.
Follow the organization below. You don’t need an introductory paragraph or a thesis
statement.

how COVID will play out. Don’t reference things that happen after January 2020 in the paper.
The task here is to offer FIVE lessons from past pandemics/epidemics from our course
readings. Don’t bring outside material into the paper. The lessons could be policies that worked
or didn’t work, patterns in past pandemics that government officials should know about,
problems during past pandemics that shouldn’t be repeated, historical knowledge that
government officials should offer to the public, ect.
