Discuss similarities in societal/cultural responses to the Black Death and the Coronavirus pandemic? What about differences?

The discussion question for this week more or less writes itself. Given that we are currently living through a global pandemic (though thankfully not one quite so deadly as the Black Death of 1340-1352), I wanted to pose the question: Do you guys see any similarities in societal/cultural responses to the Black Death and the Coronavirus pandemic? What about differences?
