(Hey...you guys asked for this episode. I think the topic is kind of bleak, too, but... 🤷🏼‍♂️) Our topics ranged from some that were actual medical pandemics to others that were more of a social plague to get a good feel for how society has reacted to widespread panic in the past.</p>   We looked at the Black Plague, Salem, the Satanic Panic, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and the H1N1 epidemics of yore.    My thanks to Cory Hutcheson.
