Document Summary
Hans zinnser (1934) rats, lice and history: but however secure, studied infectious disease and authored several books, some of his observations are incredibly beneficial, enormous development in understanding, prevent, and control infectious disease. People who are vulnerable to these outbreaks are communities in crisis. The vulnerable get sick, this is the group we need to be concerned for. Prison populations, poor neighbourhoods, rural poverty, without water or an inability to separate drinking water from sewage. People living in poorly ventilated housing- all have additional risks for sickness. All of this can be taken away from wealthy society through mother nature. Infectious disease is most commonly for the poor. If you can make it past age 15 in these communities, you will live forever. In poor countries, childhood is the most dangerous part of life. Ebola ratio in africa vs. western world is vastly different.
