As the holiday season approaches and the country plunges into another COVID-19 surge, one can get overwhelmed by the current events. So, let's take a quick trip back 500 years to the Dark Ages. Talking to World History teacher Mr. Pinos, in this episode, we explore the uncanny similarities between the medieval Black Plague and the 21st century Coronavirus. If history repeats itself, our conversation here may contain lessons surprisingly relevant to us now. From reshaping the social to  economic structure, we explore the profound impacts of a deadly outbreak on society.
