Jan. 19, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TALK: EPIDEMICS/PANDEMICS: All of this has happened before and will happen again. As noted by Marcus Aurelius,—the same plot from beginning to end, the identical staging. However, when you are in the midst of a pandemic, it feels as if it's never happened before (it most likely hasn't happened to you before) and it provokes fear, civil unrest, as well significant changes following the event.
Okemo Valley TV and the Cavendish Historical Society are jointly sponsoring a zoom talk on Jan. 27 (Wed) at 7 pm, which will cover the origins of pandemics/epidemics, their impact on history, including Vermont's, common characteristics, and the lasting changes that have occurred with past events. Note that this will also be streamed live to the OVTV's uTube page. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO11EDbJJ0j08OUzkMLmqw?reload=9
