I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Dang, the Russians couldn't put together a good invasion force to hit Odessa so they just brought the city closer to their frontlines.

Seems to correlate strongly, yeah.

It’s interesting to compare the tuberculosis map to the map of typhoid fever from the same series.




We now know that these are both bacterial diseases, one airborne, one waterborne, but in 1874, these were open questions. The transmission mechanism of tuberculosis in particular would be debated for another half century.

The rest of the series is here.

Not pictured: Hookworm was only first established as the cause of a chronic anemic in Puerto Rico after studying apparently lazy and malnourished peasants. Although for Reasons campaigns to eradicate hookworm were far better funded and more successful in the continental southern US than they were in Puerto Rico.

Kind of interesting to see northern Nevada/the Overland Route on these maps before the mining there went into decline and other discoveries were made elsewhere in the country.
