pandemics in history :: Article Creator We're Relearning What Pandemics Do To A Society You may remember that a pandemic began five years ago, but you'd be forgiven for forgetting. The world moved on. History is full of examples of societies quickly returning to business as usual after a plague. But history also reveals that the aftershocks of pandemics can linger for far longer than five years. Signs suggest our global economy and politics are suffering their own form of long Covid, and we may still be in the chaos phase of a pandemic cycle. The good news is that if we fully recover, it should feel much better than this. Pandemics can fundamentally alter the course of history. One of the earliest recorded pandemics was a plague that struck Athens in 430 B.C. The resulting death and disorder contributed to Athens's defeat in the war against Sparta. The decline of Athenian democracy helped pave the way for the authoritarian utopianism of Pl...

fever hospital :: Article Creator Lassa Fever: What You Need To Know To Stay Safe And Healthy Lassa fever is a viral disease spread by rats. It mainly affects people in parts of West Africa, where there are about 300,000 cases of Lassa fever and about 5,000 deaths from it each year. The disease gets its name from the Nigerian town of Lassa, where it was discovered in 1969 after two missionary nurses died. Most of the time, the Lassa fever virus causes only mild symptoms such as fever and headaches. But some people get more serious symptoms such as bleeding and troubled breathing. These can be life-threatening. A type of rodent called the multimammate rat carries the Lassa fever virus in its pee and poop. There are lots of these rats in West, Central, and East Africa. They tend to live in homes and in other areas where people store food. Lassa fever is spread by the multimammate rat, a rodent native to West, Central, and East Africa. (P...

kroger vaccine :: Article Creator Kroger Blames Albertsons For Merger's Demise In New Court Filings Kroger is denying Albertsons' claims that it didn't do enough to ensure regulatory approval of the companies' planned supermarket merger. In court papers filed Tuesday in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Kroger said Albertsons disregarded the companies' merger agreement and worked secretly with a partner, C&S Wholesalers, to try to force Kroger to divest more stores to C&S. Kroger also claimed that Albertsons was secretly planning to sue Kroger if the deal didn't go through long before the merger actually fell apart in December. Kroger said in Tuesday's court filing that it should not be forced to pay Albertsons a $600 million termination fee as well as billions of dollars in legal fees. In a statement Tuesday, Albertsons said it was Kroger that failed to honor the merger agreement. "Kroger's sel...

malaria is which disease :: Article Creator To Fight Malaria, Scientists Want To Poison Mosquitos—with Human Blood Malaria causes more than 600,000 deaths each year, and is just one of numerous deadly human diseases transported by mosquitoes. But what if we could make our blood poisonous to the parasites that crave it? While it sounds like science fiction, the idea isn't as far-fetched as it might sound. In a study published today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, scientists report that a drug known as nitisinone can turn human blood so toxic to mosquitoes that they die within a few hours of feeding on samples from patients who received even relatively low doses. What's more, the drug remains effective for up to 16 days after the initial dosing.  It's important to note that nitisinone does not itself protect against malaria infection. However, by killing the mosquitoes before they can lay eggs, the drug might be able...
