Two years into Covid life, it's still referred to as the first pandemic of its kind for a century. So, how did Brisbane deal with the influenza pandemic a century ago? Join Matthew Wengert near the site of the hub of Brisbane's influenza response, the Isolation Hospital at the Exhibition Grounds, to revisit the first time we were a City in Masks.
