In part two of our interview with Marshall University’s Dr. Chris White, we look at how epidemics have affected the Appalachian region, including a comparison between the so-called “Spanish “ flu pandemic of 1918 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. White is co-editor of the new book Appalachian Epidemics: From Smallpox to COVID-19, published by the University Press of Kentucky. The photo here comes from what became known as the “Summer Without Children,” in 1950, when Wytheville, Virginia, had the highest per capita rate of polio in the nation.
