Talk:1946-47 Iceland outbreak

Is this a different outbreak? Or same as 1948-49 Akureyri outbreak?

Perhaps the way it is described on List of outbreaks is a typo?

 * I think they might be the same, a BMJ article lists them as related:

 * Update - they are definitely different cases, as described here in the Akureyri outbreak article, which refers to ref (5) on the earlier outbreak. It's co-author is Johann Sigurjonsson, who described the previous outbreak. ~Njt (talk) 16:17, April 30, 2020 (EDT)
