infectious diseases

This page is to collect together some of the things I’ve learnt about different infectious diseases. Some that I can think of, that I’d like to write notes about, include:

• Covid-19 (page not updated since September 2021; I really need to revisit it)
• polio
• influenza
  • Spanish Flu
  • bird flu
• tuberculosis
• HIV/AIDS
• smallpox
  • monkeypox
• plague
  • Black Death
  • Plague of Justinian
• Epstein-Barr Virus (not dangerous to most people, but if you escape it in childhood and get it only in adolescence it can cause glandular fever)
