A multi-part article, I'll update this post as the other part(s) become available.
Part 1)
https://survivalblog.com/realistic-assessment-epidemic-disease-teotwawki-part-1-dr-dmc/Part 2)
https://survivalblog.com/realistic-assessment-epidemic-disease-teotwawki-part-2-dr-dmc/Part 1 contains a discussion of Malaria and how it was essentially eliminated from the U.S. Please note that it was NOT eliminated world-wide and therefore can reappear at a later time.
Do read this because it explains how to fight Malaria, even when the current drugs are no longer available, ie. in a post-event world.
Also discussed, in shorter detail, are respirator diseases and Measles.
A final quote from Part 2:
The Basic Preparations For Prevention When considering survival after a catastrophic and widespread event, it is important to consider the basics: food, water, shelter, and security. But even the most prepared can be vulnerable to the unexpected. The unexpected can be re-emerging infectious diseases. Some things can be done to prepare. For instance, the yellow fever vaccine is probably good for 20 years, maybe for life. The military re-immunizes its personnel every 10 years. The vaccine is safe, long-lasting, and effective. Unfortunately, most diseases do not have an easy answer like yellow fever. Protection from most diseases must rely on the factors that reduced malaria in America even before modern drugs and insecticides became available. Those factors were good housing, good nutrition, good sanitation, and pure water. There is no replacement for any of these.
