Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection that affects the mucous membranes of the throat and nose. Although diphtheria is easily spread from one person to another, diphtheria can be prevented through the use of vaccines. If you sneeze in an infected person or are nearby when you cough, you may also get diphtheria. Even if the infected person does not have any signs or symptoms of diphtheria, they can still spread the bacterial infection within six weeks after the initial infection.
Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease associated with fever, usually caused by Salmonella typhi. People ingest typhoid fever from bacteria in contaminated food or water. Patients with acute diseases may contaminate the surrounding water with feces, which contains a lot of bacteria. Contamination of the water supply will contaminate the food supply. Some patients have very mild illnesses that cannot be recognized. These patients can become long-term carriers of bacteria. Bacteria multiply in the gallbladder, bile duct or liver, and enter the intestine. Bacteria can survive in water or dry sewage for several weeks. These chronic carriers may have no symptoms and may be the source of new typhoid fever over the years.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects your lungs. Bacteria that cause tuberculosis are transmitted from one person to another through tiny droplets released into the air by coughing and sneezing. Tuberculosis was once a rare disease in developed countries, part of the cause of infection was the emergence of HIV. AIDS weakens a person’s immune system, making it unable to fight tuberculosis bacteria. Potential tuberculosis.

In October 1347, Italian merchants brought the disease from a rat-infested ship in Constantinople. The ships then brought the plague to Genoa, Pisa, and Venice, Italy’s main trading ports. By 1348, the plague had spread to the interior of Italy, including Florence, and the country had lost half of its population.
3. Dhobi Ghat is the world’s largest open-air laundry. Every day, three-quarters of the 1 million [pieces] of clothing are washed there, and 7,500 people work there. Clothes come from all walks of life, from your regular men to send shirts to hospitals, restaurants, five-star hotels and exporters.

Under the rule of the Abbasid dynasty, Islamic art and culture flourished. They are known for creating the golden age of Islam.

6.Many people unintentionally buy real estate for investment, and unintentionally move in. The idea of filling these places is definitely a dream, because they mostly build houses in places where immigrants do not want to move, mainly because there is no opportunity. Although most of the other cities may be empty, most of the apartments are sold, so the supply exceeds demand. This is a potential problem for the Chinese economy, the importance of the real estate market and the extent to which the real estate bubble is actually supporting prices.
