I wake up in my apartment to the chiming sound of my alarm at 7:30 am. My calico cats, Miso and Tofu, are cuddled next to me. I pet them, open the blinds, then do my daily Duolingo training to wake up my mind and prepare for my next foreign language exam, this time on Portuguese.

Whether it is called the plague, the Black Death, or the Coronavirus, widespread disease has a way of generating fear and outright terror among those living within its invisible presence.  Epidemics, such as the pestilence that afflicted the Iberian Peninsula of Spain during the late sixteenth century still resonate with historical truths that can be felt five hundred years later.
