Two friends discuss episodes in the history of diseases past and present. We lay out the spread of diseases through history to the modern day, and how their history has affected our modern treatment of each illness.

The disease of the week is cholera! Cholera is notorious for following lines of inequality- but it wasn't always so discriminating. This week, we talk John Snow (who some call the father of modern public health), Hippocrates, and Haiti.
Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @InSickness2020 where we post fun historical content. Want to know what famous people died of this disease? Find it there.
Next time: Anthrax!
