    Here's an idea for the news media reporting on infectious disease outbreaks: 1) Make sure your staff know that only 2 diseases have ever been eradicated (= "pulled out by the root"): smallpox & Rinderpest. Every other major infectious disease known is still w/ us, to some degree.

        2) Remind them that, when making historical comparisons, even basic Internet searches can help prevent chronological errors. E.g. "In the Bard’s day, the Black Death wiped out a quarter of his town’s population." Shakespeare = 1564-1616; Black Death = 1346-1353. 2 centuries diff.

        3) For #plague, a subtler point (though one worth mastering if one is going to write about it repeatedly) is to clarify that there are not three "varieties" of plague. Plague (as it exists now) can enter the body thru different means, & thus create diff. physiological responses.

        All manifestations of #plague in the human body (bubonic, pneumonic, septicemic & gastrointestinal) are caused by a single organism (#YersiniaPestis) & all may have been present to some degree in human outbreaks since the Bronze Age. Where the difference becomes relevant is ...

        4) And when you want to investigate the *history* of a disease, know that science & biomedical indices do not index #Humanities publications. That includes most medical history. So, if you're not consulting #History resources, you're likely missing latest work in the field.

        For teachers (#medhist #epitwitter) following this thread, these two updates on the China cases (still only 2 patients) will be useful to dissect in classroom (though note massive error in the 1st of calling #plague "viral"): 1) https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201911/15/WS5dcde522a310cf3e35577723.html … 2)https://www.caixinglobal.com/2019-11-14/beijing-plague-patients-were-medically-transferred-from-inner-mongolia-101483498.html …
