Artifact 7: 

When it comes to Cholera it was a dreaded disease to get, just from the severe vomiting and diarrhea. Cholera was usually found in water. This was usually found in rural locations, such as villages. Societal factors that contributed was that people most of the time dumped their waste into the local water supplies (most of the times rivers). They also used the same water to bathe in, which was just increasing them for the disease.  John Snow, Henry Whitehead, Filippo Pacini all took Cholera and basically dissected it and found a way to cure the water that was affected by the disease. They helped to not spread the disease to other locations and at least hold it to a specific location. I believe the reasons that Cholera has kept up with us to the 21st century is we still have poverty in the world and not every place gets their water treated for kill the diseases that live in them. Now for the reason for Haiti having Cholera is that Haiti was somewhat of a poverty and it did not help when a big earthquake hit them back in 2012. That hurt their water supplie even more. In 2010 Haiti had roughly 150 deaths due to Cholera. When the earthquake hit they lost 719,377 people to Cholera. The latest study done in October of 2017 Haiti is just now getting back the numbers that they were seeing in 2010 to about 150 deaths from Cholera.
