An Unfinished Lesson
Hidden Brain 
About this episode
<p>More than a century ago, millions of people around the world died in a massive influenza pandemic. The so-called "Spanish flu" outbreak of 1918 revealed a truth about viruses: they don't just infect us biologically. They also detect fissures in societies and fault lines between communities. Historian <a href="https://www.pugetsound.edu/faculty-pages/nbristow">Nancy Bristow</a> says this remains true today, as we continue to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic.This week, we revisit our 2020 conversation with Bristow, and consider what history can tell us about human behavior during public health crises. </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
