In the 21st century, every ailment seems to be demythologized and demystified. I would argue that an individual living in a modern Western society would rarely imagine plague as a woman, a child or amist, think of sacrificing a person in order to deflect the approaching cholera, and attributeanthropomorphic or zoomorphic features to other illnesses and diseases – at least as vastly, as it used tobe done in the previous centuries. Most contemporary people know that diseases are caused by viruses or bacteria and are treatable with antibiotics or preventable with vaccines. Nevertheless, when in 2019 China reported of a new Coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 causing the disease COVID-19, which rapidly spread acrossthe world, coping with the virus and its consequences became a tremendous challenge to many countries and citizens.
