That was outstanding, as usual! I did not know about this. Although I don't live in the US. I did know about the earthquake but didn't realize how the plague was wrapped up in that. I rarely watch a documentary that is 2 hours long, but I was transfixed! I found myself constantly comparing the attitudes and politics at the time to the Covid outbreak and realizing that how the plague helped prepare us for what was to come.
Oh, don't worry, I'm already in prep mode. I have been for a few months now. I've been steadily stocking up on filling my pantry & freezer. As well as buying extra toilet paper, soaps, hand sanitiser & masks. I'm not going to be caught napping for the next one. Which given the incoming admissions views, or lack thereof. On health & medicine, will be happening sooner than many think.
& then came Covid, which proved that we really haven't progressed that much. People are just as petty, racist & open to believing in conspiracy theories today as they were back then.
@@johnbeans2000 Oh lord johnleans2000, you believe that do you? Could you truthfully answer one question for me? Please name your congregation's affiliation if any to a Christian church, or are you a Muslim as they also are believers that "Allah issued the progress" regarding plague? It would be nice to know your authority and belief structure in order to better understand your comments meaning.

Another top notch PBS documentary
Fantastic documentary
Great documentary. How much information!!!
The dynamics of ignorance, racism, fear, self interest and living conditions are still alive 125 years later....so expect another pandemic.

We've progressed a bit at least. I can only hope, particularly now...

God issued the progress.

So...sounded like they haven't really changed the quarantine method...
If something works, then don't fix it. Is generally the rule of thumb for most people.
Wow this is the voice of lea salonga
Great insight into the power of the Newspapers to just flat out lie.
Much like in the film Citizen Kane.
