Anonymous Coward User ID: 76288549 United States 02/10/2020 07:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just two small chains of remote volcanic islands in Fiji, in the South Pacific – the Lau and Yasawa islands – along with Marajo island on Brazil’s Amazon delta, and a handful of tiny communities in Alaska and the Bering Strait could claim to have been left entirely untouched by the pandemic. Their isolated locations and lack of outside visitors meant these island communities were never exposed to the virus. Interesting article on how the communities that escaped the Spanish Flu were communities that either isolated themselves or were geographically isolated (islands and the like).
