'People Will Bounce Back': How COVID-19 Parallels Past Pandemics - a podcast by WBUR & NPR

In this radio diary, clinical psychologist Steven Taylor discusses his book "The Psychology of Pandemics" and shares how the coronavirus pandemic parallels past pandemics.

"People will have lingering psychological problems, but most people will bounce back to their surprise and delight," Taylor says.

"And I'm expecting that they will be a short-lived period of hyper sociability, a kind of mini roaring '20s as people just bounce back and you say, 'Oh, yay, this is over.'"
