New publication: "From pandemic to endemic: Spatial-temporal patterns of influenza-like ill-ness incidence in a Swiss canton, 1918-1924"

In a new publication in Economics and Human Biology we show that the pandemic transitioned to endemic spread in several waves (including another strong wave in February 1920) with lower inci-dence and rather local spread until 1924 at least. At the municipality and regional levels, there were different patterns of spread both between pandemic and seasonal waves.
