PANDEMICS OVER TIME Trove Tuesday 27th Sept 2022

* see credit at end of post

There have been a number of pandemics/plagues over the centuries.. all with various outcomes as to the number of deaths and permanent symptoms. Thankfully, in these times, we are mostly united as to how to overcome these throughout the world, albeit with varying results.

The following articles are just a small selection.. we may still complain, but we live in a time with far better results re care than ever before.. partially as a result of better communication and medical knowledge, but also with the dedication of all who have worked so very hard to care for those who became ill and to protect all they can.

We will be forever thankful to each and every one of you.
