Hypothesis—Write up a one-page summary of how YOU think a plague begins, spreads, and kills. Does it start with “varmint” animals eating bits of food that humans later consume and then die from? Write down the story (yes, treat it like a story) with emphasis on
the main vectors: the “spreaders”,
where it originates and why,
the symptoms,
how quickly it kills,
how it could have been prevented.
