Wandering Blerds returns with 4 Pandemic Minisodes. Welcome to the re-emergence of Wandering Blerds, the show that lets those on the go know just where to go when they travel the Big Blue Marble. As the world is mired in CoVid-19 madness and sheltered in place for safety, Wandering Blerds is emerging from our chrysalis of silence. After a protracted hiatus, we're back! Thank you for hanging in there with us. Over the next few months, as we adjust to our new normal Wandering Blerds will present you with a series of minisodes focused on the last large pandemic, the 1918 " Spanish" Influenza. Being Blerds and nerds we're pretty sure you're already familiar with many of the facts associated with the influenza pandemic of 1918. Our aim is not to increase your viral load so to speak but to share with you some facts you may not know. We're going to discuss that prevailing theory of the virus' genesis; track it around the globe; discuss the public health response and some points of interest that are in a few of the towns most devastated by that flu so you can visit when we're up and moving around traveling the planet again. We want to reassure you that we will get through this crisis as a global community and show you how our predecessors did so. Each of us alive today is here because someone survived the Spanish Influenza Pandemic.
