Dancing plague of 1518, event in which hundreds of citizens of Strasbourg (then a free city within the Holy Roman Empire, now in France) danced uncontrollably and apparently unwillingly for days on end; the mania lasted for about two months before ending as mysteriously as it began.
In July 1518, a woman whose name was given as Frau (Mrs.) Troffea (or Trauffea) stepped into the street and began dancing. She seemed unable to stop, and she kept dancing until she collapsed from exhaustion. After resting, she resumed the compulsive frenzied activity.

The current efforts to destabilize Cuba are reminiscent of the April 6, 1960 Mallory-Rubottom memo which prescribed measures “as inconspicuous as possible” to bring hunger and hardship to the Cuban people so they choose capitalist wage slavery as a respite. The audacity that a formerly colonized, Black and Brown people, would dare to choose an independent path! How else can we view the Biden administration’s refusal to restore even a modicum of relief for Cuban families?
