Plague Not Pizza: The Impact of Humans on Three Historical Plagues in Italy
<p>In this podcast, Luke and Erin explain how policy, globalization, and environmental interaction changed and expanded the course of the Antonine Plague, the Bubonic Plague, and Covid-19 as they affected modern-day Italy. They argue that these three human activities affect all plagues and that humans need to be on the lookout for how to reduce these impacts and keep future plagues as harmless as possible.</p> <p>Some resources used in the making of this podcast are The Fate of Rome, written by Kyle Harper; P. Aelius Aristides: The Complete Works, translated by Charles A. Behr; The Decameron, written by Boccaccio; and "<a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/plague-pandemic-may-have-been-driven-climate-not-rats-180954378/">Plague Pandemic May Have Been Driven by Climate Change, Not Rats</a>" by Sarah Zielinski.</p>
