Elizabeth Hoffman, professor, published an essay, based on a series of lectures she gave between May 2020 and May 2021, designed to educate friends, colleagues, and students about what they were experiencing. It is coauthored with Ann McMillan, a Canadian writer who turned her Power Point bullet points into prose, and Jeanette Grant, who filled in the history of ancient plagues.
The book:
Plague Take It: A COVID Almanac By and About Elders: An Almanac
by Jon Peirce and Ann McMillan | Oct 15, 2021 is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites.
It’s not an academic article that breaks new ground, but rather an introduction for educated lay persons to a history only known to those who have studied this somewhat obscure history.
