Through the use of videos, public health organization bulletins and reports, and articles, this exhibit takes the participant from the early days of the 2009 H1N1 outbreaks in North America, Europe, and Asia, into the defining moment when the outbreaks were deemed a larger pattern signalling a pandemic, and on into the post-pandemic stage. As news reports shed light on human interest stories, and social media stoked the flames of fear and conspiracy theories in the populace, public health agencies sought to provide factual advice to which the public could refer. This exhibit is divided into several stages along the trajectory of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, with collection items representing activities occurring in response to the pandemic in North America, Europe, and Asia.
