Antibiotics, other medicines and immunities are facilitating this problem, as well.

I'm just glad that we're in an age where these things can be assessed. I can't imagine how horrifying things were even 100-200 years ago.

The return of “old world” diseases such as cholera and malaria ...

Wait a second, don't we think a certain President of Zimbabwe is responsible for this as well? He has yet to acknowledge the outbreak and refuses to do anything about it.

Don't forget devout adherence of old wives' tales such as that you contract illness from sitting by an open window or from drinking cold liquids.

An ongoing and never-ending search for cures. Diseases will continue to mutate and evolve just as we do... what a frustratingly compelling line of work.

[Newberg]

We can't blame Mugabe for everything. Though I prob would blame him for this.

Exactly--we'll always be fighting some new disease, or mutations of old ones.

It is frustrating, but maybe it's just accepting that at every point in time, there's a job to do. It's vanity to think we'd find a cure all

[Nostradamus]

Future of infectious disease = zombification of human race and resultant apocalypse.
