Quotes by Frank M. Snowden III  (?)

“Laënnec stressed the importance of emotional shocks and “sad passions” (passions tristes)—grief, disappointed hope, religious zealotry, and unrequited love—that depress the body’s “animal energy.”

“As poorly transmissible as it was, however, SARS exposed the absence of “surge capacity” in the hospitals and health-care systems of the prosperous and well-resourced countries it affected. The events of 2003 thereby raised the specter of what might have happened had SARS been pandemic influenza, and if it had traveled to resource-poor nations at the outset instead of mercifully visiting cities with well-equipped and well-staffed modern hospitals and public health-care systems.”
Frank M. Snowden III, Epidemics and Society: From the Black Death to the Present

“The third major epidemic shock of the 1990s was an outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (later called Ebola virus disease, or just Ebola) in the city of Kikwit, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), in 1995.”
