Some of you might infer one to one parallels between the situation during the second plague pandemic and our current pandemic in 2020. That would not be entirely correct and definitely not our intention. History doesn&#8217;t as much repeat itself as it echos into the present. While there are similarities between all pandemics, and we continue to struggle to find the correct response and countermeasures, our times are very different from the medieval and renaissance world. Science has developed further, society has evolved, and we have much more than one form of response to disease available. Moreover the pandemic that started in 1347 is in relative numbers (percentage of lethality) the worst pandemic to hit humanity in known history.<\/p>\n<p>In the end we are historians, not health professionals or epidemiologists. Our contribution can never be what to do about COVID 19, that is too complex an issue for us to digest. What we can contribute is a historical perspective on what went wrong back then, and how we developed from there. The main takeaway from the Black Death should from that long term historical perspective be positive. The response lay the foundation of modern health care in hospitals. It helped create the beginnings of professional, trained, and vetted  doctors, it changed the view on sanitation, and it started to shift our collective view on disease from superstition and conspiracy myths to factual analysis and a scientific response.<\/p>\n<p>And there in that very last point lies perhaps the one and only thing that we can say with certainty that we need to remember in 2020 &mdash; listen to the scientists, not the hacks and politicians on all sides that base their rhetoric on, self interest, political expediency, and populism.<\/p>\n<p>Never forget!<\/p>\n<p>Spartacus<\/p>\n<p>PS apologies for the audio problems on my mic during the first half of the video &mdash; it was scratching against my jacket and no one noticed, sadly we can&#8217;t get it out in post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-57941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-18-Black-Death-and-the-Failure-of-Pandemic-Lockdowns-\u2013-Pandemic-History-03.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimeGhost History Published 17 Jun 2020 Starting in 1347 and for three centuries, the second plague pandemic provides ample time to learn how to deal with the recurring outbreaks.
