Read this excerpt from The American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793.
Most doctors had predicted the fever would end when the cold weather returned. Almost all epidemics followed the same pattern, striking during warm weather, disappearing with the first hard frost. Daniel Defoe, in recording the end of the Black Death that visited London in 1665, wrote that "the winter weather came on apace [and] most of those that had fallen sick recovered, and the health of the city began to return."
Which excerpt from Fever 1793 connects to the historical account detailed in the excerpt?
Guns were fired on the street corners, and a cannon blasted in the public square to purify the air.
"The almshouse is closed. They want to protect their residents from the disease. So the fever victims lie on the floor of Rickett’s with little water and no care."
"Jefferson still comes into town every morning, though everyone says he’ll soon quit and retire to his farm at Monticello," said Mr. Carris.
I silently counted on my fingers: twenty-eight days until the end of September, then on into October until the first frost. Frost always killed fever. Mr. Carris said it drained the poison from the air.
