This was very enlightening. I appreciate all the information that I learned about these diseases. I realize that many of these diseases can have outbreaks in India and Africa. I hope the organizations can battle these diseases in Africa and India- Doctors Without Borders, United Nations, world Health organization.

I guess having worked in the medical field twice in my life gave me the knowledge of recognizing eight of these deadly diseases and viruses. I am not a computer genius and I know it. That leaves me wondering why, when and how Bill Gates has become an immunologist.
