40% in and we're finally dealing with flu patients. That's a long wind-up.
I've started The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History. So far it's a history of medical practice in the United States in the 19th century, with a side of referring to Johns Hopkins as "The Hopkins."
Finished The Great Mortality: An Intimate History of the Black Death, the Most Devastating Plague of All Time a couple of weeks ago; very good.
One I'm reading now (Duel with the Devil: The True Story of How Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Teamed Up to Take on America's First Sensational Murder Mystery) starts with a very nasty epidemic of yellow fever in New York City, in the summer and autumn of 1799.
Looks like it's this: This Son Of York.You can claim authorship of the book on GR if you would be interested in that, David. (At "is this you?" on the author page.)
Not yet. Still reserved for the high risk categories here, I think.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/en...Parish records from as early as 1539, including many from the Black Death, go on the internet.
Apparently many a death from the Plague was marked merely with a "P."
That's the first death in the US, yes?I think I saw that Texas was shutting down high school sports until further notice?
Well, it is a variety of flu, so I think it's possible, Alice.
Well, Jezebel is from the late 30s, I think. Now Voyager is totally soap opera, but fun. All About Eve.
I like some Bette Davis movies, but usually her earlier ones; Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is rather a late one for me.
Saw this one today: http://news.aol.com/article/epidemic-...They unexpectedly found a mass grave from an 1870 yellow fever epidemic down in Alabama.
Yeah - I remember seeing the plague story, I think, on either ABC or BBC World News America at the time.
I got "404 File Not Found" on the link. Sounds like an interesting article, though.
What is Monolaurin, Alice?
