Analysis regarding the impact of pandemics on societies

write a three to six-page paper that accomplishes the following three tasks:
1. Identify and analyze one of Hay’s arguments (Part 1). (1/2 pg.)
2. Using at least four primary sources (Part 2), evaluate Hay’s argument and determine the degree to which it is either supported or refuted by primary source documents. (2-4 pgs.)
3. Develop your own argument about what lessons we can draw from this analysis regarding the impact of pandemics on societies, and postulate how this history might inform us as we deal with this modern, if less deadly, pandemic (1.pg)
