You can catch rabie

Legionnaire’s disease / Legionnaires' disease
The symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease
are initially
mild,
but usually develop
into more serious problems
associated with pneumonia.
Symptoms can begin
any time from two to 19 days
after exposure to the initial infection.
However, six to seven days
is the most common time
between getting the infection
and the onset of symptoms
(known as the incubation period).

bacterium, Yersinia pestis > plague
USA
The
modern-day plague is caused
by the same bacterium, Yersinia pestis,
that caused
the Black Death in Europe.
It lives in
fleas and rodents
all over the world
and is
typically spread to humans
by the bite
of an infected flea.
It is
treatable with common antibiotics
— but
without proper attention it can be deadly.
In some
parts of the world,
including Madagascar,
the plague
has become
a seasonal scourge.
After the
rice harvest
at the end
of summer,
rats don't
have as much food
and their
population drops.
Around
August
fleas start
looking for new hosts to bite,
and that
means humans.
Madagascar
can see
between 280
and 600 infections annually.

SARS
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
is a highly contagious, serious
and potentially life-threatening
form of pneumonia.
SARS is caused
by the SARS coronavirus (SARS CoV).
There are a large number of coronaviruses
linked to infections in humans and animals.
There are two recognised
human coronaviruses
that cause mild respiratory infections,
such as the common cold.
This type of virus
can also include strains
that cause more severe illnesses,
such as SARS.
SARS originated
in the Guangdong province
of southern China in 2002.
The infection quickly spread
to other countries (a pandemic),
and resulted in more than 8,000 cases
and 774 deaths before the virus
was eventually brought under control.

Haiti in the Shadow of Cholera

The problem of ending Haiti’s
cholera epidemic does not stem from an absence of planning. There is a 10-year
plan to eradicate cholera from Hispaniola, the island Haiti shares with the
Dominican Republic, by 2022. Within the 10-year plan is a two-year plan to get
the 10-year plan up and running. The United Nations has its own two-year plan to
support that two-year plan. To tackle the crisis immediately, with treatment,
vaccinations and other prevention efforts, there was a one-year plan for last
year, and a new one for 2014.
In Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, Haitian government officials and international
health agencies met to examine the progress of the cholera response. As they
surely realized, the difficulty is never a lack of plans, but a lack of money.
Last year’s plan called for spending $38 million, but raised only $10 million.
The 2014 plan is for about $40 million. It has raised about $6 million. The
government says it needs $448 million to carry out its two-year plan; it has
raised less than half that.
The 10-year plan, an ambitious campaign to supply vaccinations and treatment and
to build the clean water, sewage and health systems Haiti has never had, is
expected to cost $2.2 billion. Needless to say, it is off to a bad start. And
not surprisingly, other trends are moving in the wrong direction, as The Times
reported last week.
The number of cholera treatment centers has plummeted, from 120 to barely 40, as
aid organizations leave Haiti. The percentage of cholera patients who die in
treatment centers is rising. The rainy season, which began this month, is
expected to increase the caseload by tens of thousands as flooding spreads the
disease in contaminated rivers and streams used for drinking and bathing.
More than 700,000 Haitians have been sickened since the outbreak began in 2010.
More than 8,500 have died.
No one should get cholera, and no one who gets it should die. The cure is
astoundingly simple: clean water and rehydrating salts, given intravenously if
necessary, can swiftly bring a person back from the edge of death. The long-term
solution, clean water and sewage systems, is straightforward. But the outpouring
of good will and pledges of aid after the 2010 earthquake have dissipated,
leaving little in the way of permanent improvements. Promises made are not the
same as money delivered.
The United Nations is in an awkward spot in this crisis. It has been blamed for
bringing cholera to Haiti in the first place, through its negligent soldiers who
contaminated a river with their sewage. Because it has steadfastly refused to
accept responsibility, it is a tarnished advocate, begging donors to send money
that they have gotten tired of giving. But even if the conscience of the world
no longer shocked by Haitian sickness and deaths, the Haitian people still need
the world’s help. At current rates, officials expect 45,000 people to contract
cholera this year. In what other country would such a vast and preventable
tragedy be tolerated, with little more than wrung hands, empty promises and
underfinanced plans?
