Artifact 9: 

While taking this class I have understood a lot more about emerging diseases as well as re-emerging disease. Just like HIV for example, we covered HIV just recently and talked about how people in society contribute to the spread of the disease. As well as ways that people over look it and pretend that it is not there until it is too late. We also learned that the government can play a big role in its efforts to try and to fight these diseases. That is just a little insight of what this class teaches, every disease is close to being the same. 

When I say the same I mean in ways of how the disease start as well as how they get transferred from person to person. Cholera is another example of a disease that is caused by unsanitary water and then that water is consumed by humans which in return they received really bad vomiting and dearie. In this case though the government got involved as well as other people and together they found a way to treat the disease as well as the water that it was in, so people could once again drink the water. These are just two small examples but there are many more diseases out there they we are stilling learning about and I am curious about them, how they start, how to treat them, and how to make sure we can prevent an epidemic from starting.
