Podcasts about epidemics

You are going to love this episode. Today we are going to dive into a teenager's emotional life. I think what makes parenting teens so challenging is dealing with their intense emotions. Sometimes you're the target of their emotional storms and sometimes they turn their emotions inward. You worry about them being depressed or anxious. How many times have we brought up a simple request to our teen, but it turns out to be not so simple because it triggers a huge emotional response? Moms can find themselves avoiding talking about important topics because they don't know how to handle their emotions. I invited Dr. Lisa Damour, the author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, to talk about this nuanced subject of teenage emotions. In this episode we focus on her chapter called Managing Emotions, Part One: Helping Teens Express Their Emotions and the following chapter called Managing Emotions, Part Two: Helping Teens Regain Emotional Control Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, appears as a regular contributor to CBS News, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and maintains a clinical practice. She is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents, Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood and Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls. She and her husband have two daughters and live in Shaker Heights, Ohio.

With Erin West, former prosecutor (26+ years) and founder of Operation Shamrock, one of the leading global initiatives fighting pig butchering scams and the organized crime networks behind them. Pig butchering is no longer a niche fraud story. We are living in a scam-demic. These scams are industrial-scale operations run out of compounds across Southeast Asia, and they are targeting everyday people — not just crypto natives. Doctors. Students. Professionals. Families. People are losing everything… and often being pushed into debt. In this episode, we discuss: - What pig butchering scams really are - Why they are so effective psychologically - How organized crime is using crypto as the main payment rail - The role of exchanges, stablecoins, and compliance gaps - Why crypto ATMs are "theft machines" - How AI and deepfakes are making scams harder to detect - The disturbing link between scams and human trafficking - Why shame prevents victims from reporting - What to do immediately if you suspect you are being scammed This is one of the most important conversations happening in crypto today.

Abby and Patrick welcome Helen Epstein, Visiting Professor of Human Rights and Global Public Health at Bard College and author of the new book Why Live: How Suicide Becomes an Epidemic. After sketching out the history of contemporary western sociological and philosophical accounts of suicide in general from Durkheim to the existentialists and beyond, the three turn to the specific focus of Epstein's research: suicide epidemics. As Epstein elaborates, suicide epidemics – wherein entire communities experience sudden and acute spikes in suicide rates – raise urgent questions about the social, economic, and emotional contexts of suicidal distress. What broad conditions can make people feel like life is no longer worth living? What models of meaningful life do communities transmit intergenerationally, and how do those models – and those communities – crumble under pressure? Exploring examples from Micronesia to Nunavut and from 1990s Russia to the contemporary United States and taking up communities from 19th century industrial workers to contemporary American military veterans, Epstein walks Abby and Patrick through her findings, leading the three to reflect on how societies metabolize historical change and economic dislocation on the level of families and across generations. Helen Epstein, Why Live: When Suicide Becomes an Epidemic.Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Neil Patrick Harris would like to make art that is “apolitical.” Sydney Sweeney “is not a political person.” Jelly Roll is a “dumb redneck” who we shouldn't want to hear from, but we will be hearing his thoughts on global events “soon.” Ethan Hawke says we shouldn't seek moral guidance from “a bunch of jet-lagged, drunk artists,” and perhaps he's right. But at a time when celebrities who were once known for their political outspokenness have gotten strangely coy (Taylor Swift and Beyoncé come to mind), one naturally begins to wonder if something is amiss. And when LeBron James, who cites civil rights hero Muhammad Ali as an inspiration, says he's heard “only great things” about Israel — now we're just being, well, played. Today, Gianmarco Soresi, Caroline Kwan and I examine the marked shift pop culture has taken towards spinelessness and attempt to remedy it. Listen to bonus episodes on Patreon!

Through her work coaching thousands of men, Kaitlyn shares eye-opening insight into male loneliness, intimacy struggles, emotional insecurity, and the shifting dynamics between men and women in today's dating landscape.Together, they explore why so many women feel emotionally exhausted in relationships, the pressure to be everything for a partner, and how societal changes — independence, career growth, and autonomy, are quietly reshaping attraction, intimacy, and connection. This honest, nuanced conversation is equal parts psychology, relationship insight, and cultural commentary, designed to help listeners better understand themselves, their partners, and the reality of dating in 2026.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Few issues have tested public trust in medicine as deeply as vaccines, and few individuals have influenced that dialogue more than Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a longtime member of the FDA's Vaccine Advisory Committee. In this timely and candid interview with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Offit points to this year's severe flu season and a resurgence of measles as alarming proof points of how a changing federal perspective on vaccine policy is having a real impact on public health. “You'd like to think you can educate about the importance of vaccines, but I fear at this point the viruses themselves are doing the educating.” In this wide ranging discussion, Dr. Offit also addresses: The rigorous and painstaking process of developing vaccines, based on his experience co-inventing the rotavirus vaccine. Shifting levels of public trust in scientific organizations. Promising innovations in vaccine development. Don't miss this deeply-informed perspective on the interplay of science, policy, and public education, and his encouraging message to young clinicians about managing the current challenges in public health.  Mentioned in this episode: Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaPerelman School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Hour 2: Tommy talks about Aaron Judge's talk about the Yankees off-season and Tommy can't figure out if tanking is pandemic or epidemic.

Is infertility becoming a global epidemic—and are we asking the wrong questions about fertility?     In this eye-opening conversation, Lisa sits down with internationally recognized fertility expert Dr. Gabriela Rosa to unpack the real data behind infertility rates, IVF success statistics, and the rising cost of getting pregnant. Dr. Rosa explains why fertility is a "team sport," how male factor infertility contributes more than most couples realize, and why IVF often bypasses the true root cause.     They also dive into PCOS, insulin resistance, weight training, Ozempic, environmental toxins, and the powerful mindset shift of "act pregnant now to get pregnant later." If you're struggling to conceive—or simply want to optimize your fertility—this episode delivers practical, empowering guidance grounded in science.    

In hour 1 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off with the episode's provocative title, "Well, Well, Well," unpacking the recent mass shooting at a hockey arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, by transgender individual Robert Dorgan (aka Roberta Esposito). Clay examines emerging patterns of violence tied to transgender ideology, citing a list of recent incidents from Benny Johnson—including the Tumbler Ridge school shooting, Nashville Christian school tragedy, and more—while addressing mental illness, radicalization, autism, and societal trends. He calls out stereotypes as "earned, not given" and warns of an "epidemic" of trans-related violence per capita. Shifting to cultural commentary, Clay reacts to a Slate article where a progressive writer boasts about arming up against conservatives, highlighting media double standards. The hour wraps with an introduction to "horizonlessness"—that aimless, blah feeling in modern life—blaming social media's short-form content for brain rot and sharing personal detox strategies. Tune in for raw insights on culture, violence, and reclaiming purpose.

Long before modern TCM was standardized, systematized, and filtered through a biomedical lens, Classical Chinese Medicine described health as harmony...not the absence of pathogens, but the presence of balance.In this conversation, Tommy Hughes walks us back to the original canon — the Huangdi Neijing, the language of Qi, the cosmology of seasons, and the principle of treating what is not yet diseased.We explore the distinction between pathogenesis and salutogenesis, why ancient physicians prioritized vitality over diagnosis, and how the classical view of epidemics centered on terrain, climate, and susceptibility rather than transmission alone.Along the way, we unpack:The differences between modern TCM and its classical foundationsWhy “treating what is not yet diseased” represents a fundamentally different medical paradigmHow dampness and seasonal energetics shaped classical understandings of epidemicsThe principle of correlative resonance and what we tune ourselves toWhy chronic disease in the classical texts implicates the Heart and the spirit, not just the bodyThe risks of biohacking extremes in a system built on balanceThis is a return to first principles. A medicine rooted in rhythm, relationship, and responsibility for one's terrain.Is Classical Chinese Medicine the original Terrain Theory?To learn more about Tommy's work, follow him on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@naturallytom2302 or reach out to him at naturallytom@tutamail.com. Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

In this powerful episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Rana Hajjeh, a global public health leader whose career has spanned over three decades at the heart of epidemic response, vaccine policy, and global health diplomacy. From her early training as an Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer at the CDC to leading outbreak responses to meningitis, Ebola, MERS, and COVID-19, Dr. Hajjeh reflects on what it truly means to work at the frontlines when science, uncertainty, and urgency collide. She shares behind-the-scenes insights into global vaccine introduction, lessons on equity and trust, and why global coordination through organizations like the WHO remains indispensable in a world without borders. This conversation goes beyond titles and institutions exploring leadership, resilience, and the human side of public health decision-making. Whether you're a physician, public health professional, policymaker, or simply curious about how global health works in real life, this episode offers rare perspective, hard-earned wisdom, and enduring hope for the future.

“I do not believe we should be testing to test. We have to know, is this test going to change management and is it going to make a difference,” says pediatric allergist-immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin. His knack for providing that sort of straightforward guidance explains why Dr. Rubin has become a trusted voice on allergies, asthma, and vaccines for his millions of followers on social media platforms. It's also why we couldn't ask for a better guide for our discussion on the rise in allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions in children, and how families can navigate the quickly evolving science and rampant misinformation in the space. On this episode of Raise the Line, we also preview Dr. Rubin's new book, All About Allergies, in which he breaks down dozens of conditions and diseases, offering clear explanations and practical treatment options for families. Join host Lindsey Smith for this super informative conversation in which Dr. Rubin shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics including: What's behind the rise in allergic and immune-related conditions.Tips for managing misinformation, myths and misunderstandings. How digital platforms can be leveraged to strengthen public health.How to build back public trust in medicine.Mentioned in this episode:All About Allergies bookBench to Bedside PodcastInstagramTikTokYouTube Channel If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

What's really happening inside sales organizations right now? According to Tom Batchelder—sales coach, painter, and Tuesday video creator—there's an anxiety epidemic running through companies that no amount of AI or automation can solve.In this candid conversation, Bill and Tom dissect the current state of sales coaching and what salespeople are actually dealing with beneath the surface.

Ep. 80 - Joining me is Jim Dudley, host of Police1's acclaimed podcast Policing Matters. Jim was with the San Francisco Police Department for 32 years, rising to the rank of Deputy Chief. He takes us back to policing in San Francisco in the 1980s and walks through how the profession — and crime itself — evolved over the decades, from the crack epidemic to today's open drug use and reforms impacting law enforcement like reducing felony charges to misdemeanors. He reflects on his time as an Investigator in the Bureau of Inspectors, working cases ranging from burglary and property crimes to domestic violence, assaults, and serious violent offenses.Jim also speaks candidly about the critical incident in which he used deadly force to save his own life and his partner's during a struggle with an armed suspect. We discuss the reality of being investigated after a fatal use-of-force incident, the emotional toll that follows, and how that experience shaped his leadership style when supporting officers navigating their own critical incidents.Since retiring in 2013, Jim has continued serving the profession as the host of Policing Matters and as a criminal justice instructor at San Francisco State University, where he has taught for 14 years. We touch on a topic of particular interest to me and that is the impact criminal justice professors can have on framing the national narrative on policing. Thank you, Jim.I also want to thank the listeners who I mention in the episode: @Luv fitness pal and @Emandagat01left very kind words in their five-star reviews on Apple podcasts.

La performance de Bad Bunny à la mi-temps du Super Bowl, dimanche 8 février, était pour le moins attendue. En septembre, l'annonce de sa participation au traditionnel spectacle de la mi-temps de la finale du championnat de football américain organisé par la National Football League avait réjoui les fans du chanteur portoricain. Et hérissé Donald Trump. Celui-ci avait été le premier président américain à assister au Super Bowl, en 2025. Il y a renoncé cette année, en raison de la présence de l'artiste.Car Bad Bunny n'est pas seulement l'un des musiciens les plus écoutés au monde, il est aussi un fervent défenseur de son île natale, Porto Rico, un « Etat libre associé » des Etats-Unis, dont les habitants bénéficient d'un passeport américain mais n'ont pas de droit de vote aux élections nationales. Il est aussi ouvertement critique envers la politique migratoire de Donald Trump, comme il l'a exprimé sur la scène des Grammy Awards le 1er février en appelant à « mettre dehors » ICE, la police de l'immigration américaine.Sur la scène du Levi's Stadium, à Santa Clara (Californie), Bad Bunny a délivré une performance fidèle à son image : bourrée de références à l'histoire de Porto Rico, célébrant le continent américain dans son ensemble et faisant passer un subtil message politique.Comment Bad Bunny est-il passé de chanteur à succès à porte-drapeau de la culture portoricaine et de la lutte contre Donald Trump ? Réponse dans cet épisode de « L'Heure du Monde » avec Lucas Minisini, journaliste à « M Le magazine du Monde », qui s'est rendu en reportage à Porto Rico.Un épisode d'Adélaïde Tenaglia.

If you’ve ever struggled to feel like you matter, you’re not alone. Feeling like you matter is as fundamental a need as food or water, yet it’s a need going unmet by many. Danielle sits down with journalist and author Jennifer Wallace, who spent over six years researching and interviewing everyday people about losing and regaining that sense of mattering. They discuss what it really means to matter, the role social media plays in the mattering crisis, and how to show up for your loved ones and make them valued.

Immaturity in the Church doesn't stay private, it always has Consequences. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Smith and Rowland talk straight about what feeds spiritual immaturity, what happens when preaching avoids sin, and why division often shows up as a symptom, not the root. You'll also hear a clear distinction between unity and uniformity, and why believers can disagree on doctrine without tearing each other apart. The conversation widens to the culture wars Christians face right now, including “natural” vs “unnatural” sin, and why the Church is fighting on more than one front. This episode lands on leadership and character, and why failure isn't the end. Staying down is where the damage grows. If you've had a spiritual wreck and feel stuck, this is your reminder to get up and keep going.

Is the Church facing an Epidemic of Immaturity? In Ep. 847 of The Smith and Rowland Show (February 4, 2026), Allan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk about what happens when pulpits stop calling sin, sin, and why that choice produces shallow faith, weak discipline, and fragile believers. This episode connects spiritual growth to emotional maturity, then gets practical about daily obedience (Scripture, prayer, self-discipline) as the steady path forward. They also share the “fast track” to maturity, sacrifice, laying down self-interest, serving others, and even laying down personal vision when God calls for it. Watch for a direct conversation on:  * Why avoiding the word “sinner” waters down truth  * How milk vs. meat shows up in real church life  * Why daily Bible reading matters, even when you don't “feel” results  * How emotional instability ties back to spiritual drift  * Why sacrifice forms Christlike character faster than comfort ever will #SmithAndRowlandShow #Church #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianDiscipleship #FaithWalk

In this mind-blowing episode, Tara sits down with Regina and Kristin, the investigative duo behind the Normal Curves podcast, to explore the truth behind the so-called "vitamin D deficiency epidemic." Spoiler: it may have been manufactured by outdated, flawed science—and driven by people with major conflicts of interest. This is a must-listen for anyone taking vitamin D or worried about their levels. If you've been told your D is "low," this episode might change everything. In this episode we cover: How the original vitamin D reference ranges were set (and how they were quietly reversed in 2024) Why testing vitamin D routinely may be doing more harm than good The role of conflicts of interest in shaping clinical guidelines What the latest randomized controlled trials (RCTs) actually show about supplementing vitamin D for disease prevention Why observational data can mislead us, and how low D might be the consequence—not the cause—of illness How much sun you actually need to make enough vitamin D (hint: it's a lot less than you think) Why the "low D" narrative stuck around even after the science was overturned If you're thinking about taking D, already taking D, or have been told your vitamin D is "low" (it likely isn't) then this one is for you.   WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -https://www.youtube.com/@TaraThorne   Regina Nuzzo is a Gallaudet professor, award-winning science journalist, and co-host of the Normal Curves podcast.

In this episode of Earned, CreatorIQ CMO Brit Starr sits down with Gracie Schram, Head of Strategic Initiatives for Creators at Epidemic Sound, live from Dubai during the 1 Billion Followers Summit. Gracie brings a rare, dual perspective to the conversation, shaped by nearly 15 years in the music industry as a recording artist and her current role helping creators and brands harness the power of sound at scale. Together, Brit and Gracie explore how the creator economy has matured into the economy—and why sound is one of the most underutilized tools in modern storytelling. Gracie breaks down the concept of sonic branding, explaining how music shapes emotion, identity, and audience retention across platforms, from YouTube and TikTok to Netflix and global brand campaigns. She also demystifies Epidemic Sound's unique model, where music is fully licensed to travel anywhere without risk, enabling creators to scale without friction. The conversation dives into how creators can think more intentionally about sound design, the difference between viral sound and intentional scoring, and why emotional resonance matters just as much in educational content as cinematic storytelling. Brit and Gracie also discuss the growing overlap between brands and creators, the role of data and AI in music discovery, and why global creator communities—far beyond the U.S.—are shaping what comes next. In this episode, you'll learn: Why sound is a core part of creator branding, not an afterthought How sonic consistency drives emotional retention and recall with the audience What creators often miss about music licensing and long-term scale   Connect with the Guest: Gracie's LinkedIn - @gracieschram   Connect with Brit Starr & CreatorIQ: Brit's LinkedIn - @britmccorquodale CreatorIQ LinkedIn - @creatoriq Follow us on social: CreatorIQ YouTube - @CreatorIQOfficial CreatorIQ Instagram - @creatoriq CreatorIQ TikTok - @creator.iq CreatorIQ Twitter - @CreatorIQ

JJ welcomes back Michelle Reittinger, author and host of The Upside of Bipolar, for a bold, hope-filled conversation that challenges common cultural narratives around bipolar disorder. Together, they unpack "myths" that can keep people stuck in fear and identity-based labels—and invite listeners into curiosity, root-cause investigation, and a more empowering view of symptoms, healing, and personal responsibility. In This Episode, We Cover ·         Michelle's story: diagnosed in 1998, years of intensive psychiatric treatment, polypharmacy, and a breaking point that became a turning point ·         Why a diagnosis can feel like an "answer," but often doesn't explain why symptoms started ·         The difference between a "cluster of symptoms" and an identified disease mechanism ·         Why curiosity (vs. shame) changes everything—especially with intense symptoms like rage, anxiety, and dissociation ·         The "detective" approach: identifying triggers, patterns, and underlying contributors ·         The role of foundational health (nutrients, sleep, nervous system regulation) in emotional resilience and symptom reduction ·         Why suppressed emotions can show up as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or crisis states ·         How identity, victimhood, and relationship dynamics can unconsciously reinforce staying stuck ·         A grounded reminder: do not abruptly stop medications—tapering/changes should be done slowly and safely with qualified support Notable Takeaways ·         Labels can reduce curiosity—and curiosity is often the doorway to change. ·         "Symptoms" are information; the goal is to explore what they're pointing to. ·         The most empowering question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What happened—and what is my system asking for now?" ·         Healing can have a social cost: if your "sick role" has been rewarded with attention, protection, or lowered expectations, getting better can feel threatening (even subconsciously). Resources Mentioned ·         Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker ·         The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk ·         Healing Back Pain by Dr. John Sarno Connect with Michelle ·         Website: theupsideofbipolar.com ·         Free resource: Mood Cycle Survival Guide (available on her site) ·         Podcast + book links are also on her website.

Send us a textIn this episode, I take a close look at how health misinformation spreads in modern wellness culture — and why it's so destabilizing to the nervous system, especially in the Information Age.People often ask me to review things they see on Instagram or explain whether a claim is “true.” I'm not here to fact-check the internet — but I am here to help you build discernment. Because when you don't have a filter, your nervous system becomes the filter. That's how people end up overwhelmed, confused, and disconnected from their bodies.Building on the previous episode about the shadow side of wellness culture, I walk through a real Instagram carousel as a case study. The post claims that vitamin D determines whether calories become fat or muscle, backed by PubMed citations and a personal transformation story.This episode slows that claim down.We explore:• Why single-nutrient narratives oversimplify human physiology• How PubMed studies are often misused or misunderstood• Why animal studies and unrelated research don't equal clinical truth• How transformation stories create false certainty• Why changing a lab number doesn't mean healing occurred• How nutrient chasing creates new imbalances• Why this model backfires faster in women's bodies• And how wellness content trains people to outsource discernmentThis is not an episode about vitamin D.It's about how reductionistic health advice erodes trust, fuels protocol fatigue, and keeps people chasing fixes instead of restoring stability.I also share why I work from an ecosystem-based approach using minerals and the microbiome — and why healing requires context, pacing, and nervous system safety, not more force.If you're exhausted by wellness advice and ready for a more coherent way to understand your body, this conversation will help sharpen your filter and protect your biology.Support the show Support the podcast Mineral Foundations Course HERE Minerals & Microbes package HERE Rewilded Wellness program HERE Join my newsletter HERE If you are interested in becoming a client and have questions, reach out by emailing me: lydiajoyme@gmail.com Find me on Instagram : @ Lydiajoy.me

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that proves nostalgia is just disappointment with better branding.Today's episode kicks off with the downfall of childhood “investments,” as Magic: The Gathering collectors accuse Hasbro of flooding the market and tanking card values — which immediately sends the crew spiraling into baseball card trauma. Remember when a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was supposed to pay for college, a house, and early retirement? Yeah… about that.From there, things take a turn toward the supernatural when we ask the important question: can a rock band curse an NBA team? After an arena employee blames a satanic-looking concert for the Orlando Magic's losing streak, we dive headfirst into modern Satanic Panic, Ghost's spooky theatrics, and whether teams should sage their arenas instead of practicing defense.Then it's off to Westeros, where the new Game of Thrones spinoff raises serious questions — like where everyone goes to the bathroom, why HBO is obsessed with realism in the weirdest ways, and whether giant fake dongs are now part of the network's brand strategy. Things escalate quickly as the crew debates gratuitous nudity, legacy characters, and which original GoT character would theoretically win a very unnecessary competition.The back half of this daily comedy show delivers a full round of Crap on Celebrities, including music collabs, Super Bowl ads released way too early, outrageous ticket prices, Dirty Dancing sequels, James Bond movies that aged like milk, and a Ken doll promo video that is genuinely unsettling. Add birthdays, pop culture hot takes, and classic Rizz Show derailments, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode.If you like your pop culture commentary sarcastic, your nostalgia roasted, and your comedy slightly concerned for humanity — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's been a lot of talk about what has been labeled the Male Loneliness Epidemic. But what is it? Are there gendered differences in loneliness? We discuss in this classic episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In late 1916, while treating a group of patients at his psychiatric clinic at the University of Vienna, Dr. Constantin von Economo began noticing the appearance of strange symptoms that he could not account for. At the same time, in France, Rene Cruchet began noticing similarly strange and unexpected symptoms in his patients. Though the two men had never met and knew nothing of one another's patients, they would come to learn they were both witnessing the emergence of a new mysterious disease that would soon affect millions of people around the world.The illnesses documented by von Economo and Cruchet would eventually come to be know as encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness, a strange condition that caused profound lethargy, hypersomnia, and a wide range of other frightening symptoms. Between 1919 and the early 1930s, millions of people all around the world contracted the illness, with nearly half of all cases resulting in death, and many more suffering long-term effects; yet a cause of the illness has never been established and the terrifying epidemic appears to have faded from memory not long after the disease itself ostensibly disappeared. ReferencesBrook, Harry Ellington. 1921.
