We have all experienced how the governments of the countries we all live in dealt with the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Depending on where you live, you might have experienced a hard or soft lockdown, or none at all. In this episode, we'll take a look at how governments and rulers dealt with the second Plague Outbreak – often with disastrous outcomes.

Thank you all for your loyal support! We hope that you are all doing well and staying safe – and that you are faring better than the subjects of our Pandemic Videos generally do.

Cheers,
Joram

Black Death and the Failure of Pandemic Lockdowns - Pandemic History 03

Starting in 1347 and for three centuries, the second plague pandemic provides ample time to learn how to deal with the recurring outbreaks. And yet, fears of ruining the economy, political expediency, and refusal to accept reality leaves those trying to implement protection measure to fight an uphill battle. The result is even worse economic consequences, and unfathomable death.

Poor poor Conrad von Hotzendorf always stands in the background representing administrative incompetence even in the worst of times...

Wonderfully informative and intriguing! Even though the topic is grim, you both nevertheless manage to present it in such a way that I had to smile. And as always, learned new things. I never heard nor read of Protomedicus Quinto Tiberio Angelerio (yes, I looked him up :-) but now I know, and will never forget!

Really enjoy the Indy & Sparticus team representation on this series. You two make a good team. Somewhere I read a city in Spain cordoned off a heavily infected section of their city and burned it to the ground. Been some time so I forget details like if it was just the dead who were burned up or if infected but still living were cremated in the conflagration. I remember it was a horrific "solution" that was not as successful as they hoped. Sorry but that's all I recall.

You guys are looking pretty chic in those suits.
