I have been reading Black November by Geoffrey Rice.
It is a detailed book giving a great deal of factual data on the morbidity and mortality of various communities within New Zealand. As well as lots of information on the level of help each community received.
The message that is repeated over and over in the book is that there was a far lower mortality rate in the communities that had the greatest help from their local community. The lower mortality rate relied a great deal on volunteer help within the community.
How can volunteers help in a modern day community assuming a pandemic similar to the 1918 flu?
