Epidemics and pandemics are long-term phenomena which date back to the distant past and are caused by both human and natural factors. People have always faced various epidemics and pandemics that not only killed a huge percentage of the population, but also destroyed entire economies and countries. Some researchers claim that throughout history, nothing has killed as many people as viruses, bacteria and parasites, causing more death than all wars or natural disasters like earthquakes or volcanoes, combined. Over the centuries, epidemics and pandemics have changed not only the course of history, but also to a large extent the whole of humanity in almost every way.

How can humankind be thought to have learned from the epidemics and pandemics in the past in order to better manage such crises in the future if it still hasn't learned to stop killing themselves in wars throughout the world?

Dear sir.
I don't think so, because mankind facing different epidemics and pandemics every time and the humans never learned any any things from the past events otherwise they should know how to deal with what we are facing right now.
Dear Mr. Luburić, you made an excellent point! Nothing can shake up the whole world as world wars and pandemics. But it seems like people are more familiar with world wars than with pandemics. Tons of books are written about wars, but present situations causes more fear and uncertainty than any of them...
Thanks for the question Radoica,yes there have been some significant advancements in technology and research compared to the past but there a lot more factors that are not permitting this progress to yield much results in combating pandemics like COVID-19.
Most of these factors are human activities and behaviours which have resulted in environmental challenges; degradation contributing to the spread of infections.Some of the factors are purely human attitudes and inconsistencies in scientific data and decisions....
As per my understanding the ongoing pandemic viral infecting may easily control by remembering & repeating what our ancient people do in their earlier age of civilization and action taken in pandemic situation, more precisely for cold & fever inflammations. Give importance on traditional use of local herbs and 28 day (one lunar month, traditionally meant exactly four weeks, our body cycle on earth link with lunar day/month only) home quarantine of infected persons and community celebration on complete cure of infected persons for developing immunity among community people.
My suggestion is gurgles thrice a day with Luke warm common salt (NaCl) water may work better to sanitize our internal throat in this case, generally doctors are advised during common cold/ influenza viral throat infection. It may further improve, if gurgles thrice a day with Luke warm water extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale); turmeric (Curcuma longa); Tulsi leaves (Ocimum sanctum Linn); clove (Syzygium aromaticum); Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and bakul leaves (Mimusops elengi) which are available with you in presence of common salt. The ingestion of water extract may not be harmful, rather drinking such extract helpful.
Because first viral infection start from contaminate hands or dust, mist, air moisture entry to people nose, eyes, then brain, throat after that lungs, liver, kidney etc. through ACE2 receptor attachment of less immune or week person and viral S-protein (spike). Thus we can easily control at the time of throat infection with in 2-3 days only after exposing with virus, and afthe then it may not be controllable so easily.
Are you kidding me? It never draws any conclusions from anything. more precisely, those participants in the events that it extracts die, and the new ones do not know anything about it at all. Both the media and science are making every effort to never find out.
In my opinion, yes. I believe that mankind has known in many ways the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic. Pandemic risk management systems have been built. Procedures and anti-pandemic safety instruments (i.e. wearing protective masks, maintaining social distance, disinfecting hands) and system solutions, i.e. introducing temporary lockdowns for specific types of economic activity, for specific industries and sectors of the economy, have been developed. In addition, infectious wards in health care institutions have been improved. Instruments for activating economic activity within the framework of anti-crisis, interventionist socio-economic policies have been developed. Therefore, in the event of similar pandemics in the future, humanity will be better prepared for these types of health, social, economic, etc. crises.

Yes I do agree with you sir ...learning day by day but still that is not enough
