1917 was just prior to the roaring 20s. Unfortunately, the world’s population had been thinned out by 50 million people, all victims of the avian flu. 500 million people contracted this disease, which originated they believe in The United States, then spreading to France. The death toll may be very much under-estimated, as South America and Asia were losing people so fast, they gave up on counting. With World War I action, and this very deadly pandemic, the world's population was reduced dramatically. This pandemic lasted through 1920 and was eventually called the Spanish Flu as it gained massive attention in Spain.
Measles was in all the headlines in 1917. Because of the very close quarters in the military, they were hit especially hard. 95,000 members of the military were infected with measles, leading to 3000 deaths.
Perhaps surprising, sexually transmitted diseases were quite prominent in 1917. Without the advantage of antibiotics, people would lose their life after a long and painful battle of suffering.
In addition to noted diseases that spread, were pneumonia, other strains of flu, and diphtheria. Tuberculosis was a noted threat, with no treatment, and little means to isolate sick patients during that era, this disease spread worldwide. Patients could also be carriers of tuberculosis, and never even realize they are sick, thus spreading the illness to hundreds.
2017has seen new diseases on the horizon. Leishmaniasis, also referred to as Aleppo boil is a very serious parasite that is especially known to exists in Syrian refugees. With countries around the world working to assist displaced Syrians, this condition is spreading worldwide. The disease begins with ulcers on the surface of the body, however, the ulcers spread rapidly and move into internal organs, causing death. It is believed this disease is brought on by the bite of a sandfly so it may have regional limitations.
Mayaro comes on similar to the flu, causing aches and pains. Then the victim develops a rash. This condition is a derivative of Chikungunya. This disease is spread by mosquitos, so there is little to do to control it. The spread of this disease is currently affecting the residents of Haiti and is known as the next Zika.
Unlike other diseases that are most concerning in 2017, Elizabethkingia is not viral, but instead bacterial. This disease is not known to be spread by biting insects, so the spread should remain limited. Because we live in a rather antibiotic crazed world, the resistance that diseases now have to antibiotics makes this disease very seriously. Currently, there is no antibiotic that will treat this bacterial disease.
Respiratory diseases of various forms still plague the world, as they are spread in places that are crowded such as airplanes. Many can still be treated with antibiotics; however, it is getting more difficult to treat theses conditions due to their resistance to the drug.
There are huge differences in the world now versus 1917. The main and most noticeable is public awareness. If a new disease or cure is discovered, within hours the world may know. In 1917, it could be years before word would travel into remote places, alerting the residents of dangerous medical conditions. Scientist agrees the main threat now is the fact that antibiotics are not working as they were originally intended. Most believe it's not too late to turn this around, however, it involves everyone avoiding antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. In many cases, an ear or throat infection will cure itself if given time. When the body runs a fever, it should not be treated immediately. A higher temperature is natures way of killing off the germs since there is a variance of temperature they can survive in. In many cases, a fever will kill off the bacteria naturally, without the need for any antibiotics.
The odds of contracting a contagious disease today versus 1917 are surprisingly similar. The odds of surviving, however, are significantly higher today.
