FEVER AND FEVER SCARE
Despite false reports coming from the South, yellow fever has not been seen yet, as certain safety measures are being taken to slow the spread. Areas in the South where panic has prevailed, health officials have worked diligently to combat the disease and regain the confident of the citizens.
The widespread rumors concerning yellow fever which has caused many people stress and concern have been debunked as a result of developing technologies including the telegraph and railroad, which would not have been possible even ten years ago. Health officials have determined Ocean Springs is not the source of this disease, although wild accusations persist.
Mass hysteria has been greatest in the least affected areas in the country, while subsiding in areas such as New Orleans and Mobile. Citizens are being encouraged to remain calm and continue practicing precautionary measures. These steps will help in slowing the spread of disease and allow businesses to safely reopen.
