Episode 8
Heather Quinlan was in the midst of working on her book, "Plagues, Pandemics and Viruses" when Covid 19 hit. And the author unexpectedly found herself writing about a pandemic in real time. In her book, she provides a front-row seat for readers to the challenges of the current pandemic while also exploring the history of those decimating diseases that came before it. Heather takes us on a journey of how disease and death shaped the Renaissance and influenced the Treaty of Paris and how lemonade and gerbils played their part in past plagues.
