Что нас (не) убивает. Самые страшные эпидемии в истории человечества и герои, которые с ними боролись

Some of the outbreaks and responses felt surprisingly relevant today. Did others feel a sense of déjà vu or learn something new about past pandemics?

With so many outbreaks across history, choosing which heroes to spotlight must have been tough. What was the selection process like, and what criteria were used?
