“Muur is the ancient name for the original people of the earth, based on ancient teachings of the indigenous people of the Washita (OUACHITA) River Valley and its tributaries. The indigenous, proprietary inhabitants of this part of the Americas recognize ourselves as Muurs, modern western settlers in our lands called us the lost race; THE MOUND BUILDERS OF MUU”.

Communicable disease has haunted humanity for all of history. As such, the responses to coronavirus in our midst have a grimly timeless quality. In fact, to one scholar, epidemics are a great lens for peering into the values, temperament, infrastructures and moral structures of the societies they attack. Frank M. Snowden is a professor emeritus of the history of medicine at Yale and author of Epidemics and Society: From the Black Death to the Present. An epidemic, he writes, “holds a mirror” to the civilization in which it occurs. In this podcast extra, he speaks to Bob about what we can learn about ourselves from the infectious diseases we've faced, from the bubonic plague in the 14th century to the Ebola outbreak in 2014 to COVID-19 today. This interview originally aired as a segment in our March 6, 2020 program, Our Bodies, Ourselves.

Do you realize that many of the things we used to do before the Coronavirus have probably forever changed. The question we are facing is not whether we will experience temporary and permanent change; the question is, how much. Frank M. Snowden, author of Epidemics and Society, states: “Epidemics are a category of disease that seem to hold up the mirror to human beings as to who we really are.” I'd like us to take a look in the mirror this Sunday and see how we're “really” doing reflecting the life Jesus in the midst of constant change. Tired of this yet?
