Archived Newsflash emails can be read at:   https://mthollynewsflash.blogspot.com July 3, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EPIDEMICS & PANDEMICS The pandemic began in the East, sweeping through cities and towns, disrupting daily life and sowing fear and uncertainty throughout much of the known world.While this sounds like an apt description of today's Covid-19 pandemic, it was actually talking about the Antonine Plague, possibly small pox or measles, which took place in the 2nd century. Throughout human history, epidemics and pandemics have occurred time and again. Fear and the manners in which people respond is similar from one event to the next. History does have a way of repeating itself simply because these occurrences have the same common denominator-humans. On Sunday July 12, at 2pm on the Museum grounds, 1955 Main St., the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will be hosting a free talk on this topic, primarily focusing on the epidemics of the 20th and 21st century. Open to the public, all those who attend must wear a mask, social distance and adhere to other Covid prevention protocols.
