Mutter Museum manager on how history will remember the COVID-19 pandemic
Manage episode 290664413 series 1511268
We will one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, be in a place where COVID-19 is in the rearview mirror. When we get there, how are we going to look back on this pandemic and this mass trauma event that the whole world just went through together? There's no way to tell with 100% accuracy. But maybe we can learn something by going back in history to the global flu pandemic of 1918. How familiar was the average person with that pandemic before COVID-19? Why didn’t the 1918 pandemic get more room in our history books? And could COVID-19 be remembered - or not remembered - in the same way? Nancy Hill, Museum Manager of the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about the 1918 pandemic's impact on Philadelphia, the US, the world, and why despite its devastation, history seems to have forgotten to record a lot of the details of what everyday people were going through -- and whether there are any similarities or differences to what we're going through now, more than a hundred years later.
