People who ran temporary public health were priests and therefore had a bias point of view in relation to how and why disease was spread such as sin. “There were restrictions on movement, bills of health, quarantine regulations for travelers and shipping… All of this necessitated the growth of local…

Moreover, because of this virus, infants might have seizures and…

is stupefying to imagine how many diseases actually exist in our small section of the universe. It’s even more stupefying to understand how many diseases can take place in each of our body systems.

Fibrodysplasia ossifcans progressiva (FOP) is a skeletal system disease in which muscle tissue and…
