Latest Breaking News On - International sanitary conferences - Page 3 : comparemela.com

Will we ever go back to the way we travelled the world pre-Covid? Twenty years ago, I wrote a book on the mostly sorry history of future prediction, or ‘futurology’.  Since then, I’ve been delivering a conference talk around the world, its title, borrowed from Sam Goldwyn, ‘Never predict anything, especially the future’. One part of the lecture guaranteed to get a laugh from audiences who would really rather be in the bar is when I mention the great yellow fever air travel panic of the 1920s.  A century ago, passenger airlines were springing up, and the medical profession began to worry about disease – especially yellow fever – being spread by people suddenly able to arrive from the tropics in as little as three to five days’ flying, which, critically, was less than the incubation period for not just yellow fever, but cholera, smallpox, typhus and plague.
