RE: Plague: An Ancient and Present Peril
It's good to be reminded sometimes that we are lucky to live in modern times. The most effective diseases seem to keep their hosts alive for a relatively long time. Pretty grim how the flea stays alive but can't feed
I know. As I research microorganisms and their vectors, I become aware of competing life forms. People worry about invasions from outer space. The enemy more likely lives among us. This is a determined enemy, flexible and smart. We'd definitely be better off if we dedicated resources to understanding and combating that, instead of expending life and treasure going to war with each other.
