The past Encounters

In the past, The species has fought against many unprecedented and strange outbreaks here we will take a look at some of the most menacing challenges which have had the potential to threaten the human existence and we shall also take a look at the acts of survival accordingly. Here we have got two incidents which proved to be the most dreadful outbreaks in the past

1.  The yellow fever of the Caribbean

Yellow fever is endemic in ten South and Central American countries and in several Caribbean islands. Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru and Venezuela are considered at greatest risk. Although the disease usually causes only sporadic cases and small outbreaks, nearly all major urban centres in the American tropics have been reinfested with Aedes aegypti and most urban dwellers are vulnerable because of low immunization coverage. Latin America is now at greater risk of urban epidemics than at any time in the past 50 years. It is very profoundly recognized by the UN. one humid summer, refugees fleeing a yellow fever epidemic in the Caribbean Islands sailed into Philadelphia, carrying the virus with them. It is believed that it originally came from Africa, During the days of slavery.



21633-1634: Smallpox from European settlers

The origin of smallpox is unknown. The finding of smallpox-like rashes on Egyptian mummies suggests that smallpox has existed for at least 3,000 years. The earliest written description of a disease like smallpox appeared in China in the 4th century CE (Common Era). Early written descriptions also appeared in India in the 7th century and in Asia Minor in the 10th century. But here we talk about the smallpox origins from the European settlers in 1633. In 1721, more than 6000 cases were reported out of a Boston population of 11,000. Around 850 people died from the disease. Well its not shocking that we found a solution to it too even in the early 17th century
