Fight COVID by looking at the past.
Having started the course with looking at the Black Death and the Plague, Clive will turn his attention to 'Fighting Back' - what did Christendom do when Islam rose?
Stuck in the middle of a crisis as we are now, when every option only seems to create another problem of unimaginable proportions, besides demanding of us all behaviour we feel we could not possibly adapt to, it's salutary to look at several crises from the past and consider how, if at all, society survived them. With really big issues, you need really long perspective and that, of course, is something we can't get now on COVID. But a root about in the past might help a little.
