In this podcast I discuss my concerns that Southern Governors are leading the way to a disasterous, premature opening of swaths of their economies.  Medical experts have warned against this and it appears to be based not on the facts critical to public health but to economic considerations alone. Am I an epidemiologist? No, but I am an historian. These Southern Governors are neither. They are ignoring the lessons of the pandemic of 1918-1920. I urge listeners to continue to shelter in place and practice genuine social distancing, because many of your fellow citizens will not do so to the detriment of the public health of everyone.
