When dealing with something as serious as a virus rising to pandemic levels around the world, it is good to look at how others view this from a wider lens than most of us.

An Israeli academic, Yuval Noah Harari, has written best selling books on the history of humankind and how we learned to form communities and master the earth.  Harari has an interesting perspective on how mankind handles something like a pandemic now versus two centuries ago.

I discuss that, and more, in the April 1st edition of my daily podcast, Larry’s Log. (Photo is of Professor Harari)
