The contagious nature of the virus was detected in 1905 by Ivan Wickman, who also discovered that people could have Polio and never show severe symptoms. ...

It features in a number of fantastic novels – The Line of Beauty , A Vicious Circle , the Tales of the City series to name just a few – but as far as the mainstream media goes, let alone the public's overall understanding of the emergence and defeat of "new" diseases, it has clearly not registered very deeply. You can see this in some of the reporting and commentary around the race for a vaccine. Even a cursory acquaintance with the long fight against HIV-Aids, dotted with various false dawns, ought to have left us more aware that there are fits and starts in the fight against a new disea...

Sewers - OZY Posted: 19 Apr 2020 03:01 AM PDT Every week, Lucky Sangal and her team at the World Heath Organization in India put on masks and gloves, tie a rope to a bucket and throw it into a flowing sewage stream at seven designated sites in New Delhi.
