Plague Not Pizza: The Impact of Humans on Three Historical Plagues in Italy
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.
