Dr. Jeanette Gallagher welcomes Edna Bonhomme, author of A History of the World in Six Plagues: How Contagion, Class, and Captivity Shaped Us, from Cholera to Covid-19, to explore the reactions in society from the unknown virus, bacteria, or plague of the moment.

A look through history in healthcare, pandemics, therapies and treatments that we have explored through the centuries where people were changed through survival of the fittest.

What were the human body events that could have wiped us off the map, but they didn’t? How did people learn more about bacteria, viruses, and human constitution to stop the progression of disease for the moment and heal those who would take a leap to use the current forms of possible cure?

What did we learn from history about the expansion of our human knowledge, collective support, and survival instincts to be present on the earth through eons?

Do you have control over all the attacks from the outside and are protected with all the new technology and knowledge in our current decade?

When something shows up that we do not know about from our past experience and it seems to threaten the population, what occurs first is a deep sense of fear. Next, is the step to contain the problem organism or to sequester healthy people to avoid the possibility of engaging with the organism. Third, is to create an order that all people in the area would be required to follow to stop everyone in their tracks and see what is occurring out there with all educated eyes looking intensely at it.

While there have been plagues in the past and pandemics in our recent past, history and biology will show us that we do not know what the future holds and there will be morphing of things that can affect our health.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
