Hellloooo -- I'm on the East Coast and figured I'd put this up a few hours early!

Duuuuude. This one is nuts. On one hand, Drs. Erin who host This Podcast Will Kill You are brilliant, passionate about their work and amazingly charming. On the other: PLAGUES. 

I've been stoked about recording this for months and I hope you enjoy. There's so much information and I groan literally maybe one thousand times.

High fives and hand sanitizer,

Listening to this in 2023 is so bizarre! Predictions that we could have a pandemic of flu. Discussion of how SARS avoided becoming a pandemic, knowing that it's meaner little brother SARS CoV 2 was less than 2 years away when this was recorded is a bit surreal.

Hey Allie! Love the show! I have a real quick clarifications about RNA RNA can form double helixes, and can be double stranded. A double stranded RNA virus would be a Class III under the Baltimore classification system. Second clarification, RNA IS the genetic material of RNA viruses. I absolutely loved this episode!
