Now, as you will see in the video this is not just a reaction to the current COVID-19 pandemic, but very much back to the roots for us. Indy studied the pandemics extensively back in university times, and to study history in general requires a somewhat morbid fascination with human disaster in general. So we have spent many, many years looking intently at the worst disasters that have befallen humanity &mdash; and there is nothing worse than disease, especially on a pandemic scale. Hopefully this is the time when we can share a bit of that amassed knowledge to add a little timely understanding of the greater effects of pandemics, beyond the immediate tragic medical ones, like how they have impacted society, the economy, and human life in general throughout history. While we cannot give you fixed schedule for this series (we have the regular programming to take care of) we will try to come out with the next one very soon.<\/p>\n<p>A note on a statement I make in the video: when I say COVID-19 might be the first time we successfully fight back a pandemic, I am saying that fully aware of the eradication of small pox and the near eradication of polio, the flu vaccine successes and so on &mdash; but that is avoidance of recurring pandemics of a specific kind and we have made more progress there than actually handling pandemics of a new disease when they break out for the first time. On that note, take care, stay safe, and may you be healthy despite these trying times.<\/p>\n<p>Spartacus <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-56339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screenshot_2020-04-11-Pandemics-Economically-Worse-than-War-\u2013-The-First-Pandemic-\u2013-Pandemic-History-01.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimeGhost History Published 10 Apr 2020 There is much we can learn from past pandemics, like how Emperor Justinian ruined the Eastern Roman Empire&#8217;s economy and made the first plague pandemic even worse.
