The Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Blavatnik Institute, Harvard Medical School, held a webinar series around COVID-19 and the implications of health and social medicine both in our community and globally. These webinar's explore the COVID-19 pandemic through social medicine lens and act accordingly.
In this webinar, Dr. David S. Jones speaks about how medical historians have long tried to convince people that the history of epidemics is both interesting and important. Now that the world is experiencing a global pandemic, the same people that were once somewhat uninterested are turning toward wanting to know about these historical illnesses and epidemics and how they may inform our current situation with COVID-19.
