Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 could be studied to adopt better approaches to fight the current pandemic

The U.S. or Chicago had faced similar conditions of pressure on reopening the economy and keep the public during the Spanish flu around 100 years ago.

The Spanish influenza pandemic is considered one of the deadliest pandemic humanity had ever seen. It infected about one-third populations of the world that time and killed around 20-50 million people.

That pandemic had many similarities in the situations and conditions to COVID-19 pandemics such as closed businesses, masks, stay-at-home orders, and a pressure to reopen the economy.

Brittany Hutchinson of the Chicago History Museum said, "For cities and states that opened too early, there was a direct correlation between an increase in mortality rates and a decrease in the speed at which the economic reopened."

Hutchinson said that in the 1918 pandemic, Philadelphia held a parade to return things to normal, but this turned out against them, increased the number of infected, and many died.

Historians say that the influenza pandemic teaches that the cities which kept the people safe and did not panic to reopen recovered fastest.

Historians also say that Chicago should take a moderately aggressive approach to the pandemic to keep the people safe and raise the economy as these safety measures will pay off in the long run.

Anwohner ziehen Projekt Paulinenbrücke in Zweifel

Es gab keinen Platz unter der Brücke an der Grenze zwischen der zentralen und der südlichen Region. Die Stadtverwaltung wollte dies mit Hilfe des Stadtgückenverbandes ändern. Jetzt gibt es einen intensiven Protest. Wie soll das jetzt weitergehen?

Dies wurde als Problem angesehen. In der Nähe von Paulinenbrück entstand dann der Verein Stadtlücken, der sich für gute öffentliche Plätze und eine lebenswerte Stadt einsetzt. Zusammen mit ihm bestand die Hoffnung, dass vor Ort etwas Vorbildliches für die Stadtentwicklung auftauchen könnte. Ist der Raum unter der Brücke ein Problembereich ersten Grades? Ungefähr 50 Absender, darunter Schwester Margrethe aus der Franziskanerröhre von Carissa für Obdachlose, schickten einen Brief mit Feuer an das Rathaus.

Schwester Margrethe erhält unterwegs Briefe

Außerdem treten zunehmend schlechte Aerosolspeicher auf. Beleidigungen und Verleumdungen waren an der Tagesordnung. Anstatt einen Ort für eine breite Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit an seiner Zukunft zu schaffen, wurde hier „die nachhaltige Nutzung des Stadtraums und der Mobilität bei gleichzeitiger Verdrängung des motorisierten Einzelverkehrs“ getestet.

Die Briefe wurden von Schwester Margret ins Rathaus geworfen. In der Zwischenzeit teilte die führende Abteilung für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung unserer Zeitung mit, dass sie derzeit an der Frage arbeiten, ob und unter welchem Konzept der Raum unter der Brücke in Zukunft genutzt werden soll. Nach wie vor wollten sie mit den Bewohnern darüber sprechen.

Raiko Grib (SPD), Bezirksleiter am Stuttgarter Hof, möchte ein Wort sagen. Er steht für einen differenzierten Blick. Der Schreibstil traf ihn. Die hier aufgeführten Beschwerden können nicht auf die Vereinigung städtischer Räume zurückgeführt werden.

City Space Association verteidigt sich

Tatsächlich musste in der Vergangenheit fast jeder geparkte Fahrer und fast jeder Passant durch bestimmte Teile des Gebiets eilen, um starke Urinemissionen zu vermeiden. Es ist kein Zufall, dass eine öffentliche Toilette ohne Nutzungsgebühr Teil der Pläne ist, sagt Mushroom. Was ist mit der Drogenszene? Da ist ein Ortswechsel üblich. Sie können sie nicht kontrollieren, Sie können sie nicht einfach aufheben.

Die CDU hat Angst um den Frieden in der Stadt

Die erste Gruppe des Gemeinderats hat der CDU bereits geantwortet. In einer Erklärung untersucht sie Beschwerden über eine offene Szene mit Drogen, Schmieren, Beleidigungen und Belästigungen sowie "die einseitige Taubheit der Stadtverwaltung über die Probleme von Institutionen, Unternehmen und Einwohnern". Die CDU will wissen, wie die Verwaltung eine weitere Eskalation der Stimmung und eine Bedrohung des Friedens in der Stadt verhindern will.
