If it was suspected that a person was either infected with smallpox, or had come in contact with someone infected with smallpox, they could be taken from their home and sent to the Quarantine Station with as little as five minutes notice. This, combined with the shortages of the Quarantine stations facilities resulted in so many complaints that a Royal Commission was ordered resulting in the dismissal of the Superintendent of the Quarantine Station and the establishment of a ‘Board of Health’ to operate the Quarantine
I believe everyone on this email thread was aware of my meeting today with Joe Baldwin, Guardian, of Kathy Rennich to discuss her recent return from inpatient rehabilitation at a local nursing facility and her expressed desire to move to the Hensgen Home. Basically, in February 2017, Kathy fell resulting in a fractured tail bone. She received inpatient rehabilitation at Care Springs for fourteen days and has returned home with PT services. Since her return home, Kathy has refused to participate in ADL’s (which isn’t a change in pattern as she refused prior to the nf stay) and is demanding that she have the opportunity to live at the Hensgen Home. Kathy’s reasoning behind wanting to move the Hengsen Home isn’t exactly clear to the team.
Tenements, Riis, describes, included “[c]razy old buildings, crowded rear tenements in filthy yards, dark, damp basements, leaking garrets, [and] shops” (Riis 15). Thus, while the projects included copious facilities for their residents to use, the tenements solely featured dirty living spaces and the occasional shop. Additionally, projects adhered to stricter standards of cleanliness which made the projects more sanitary than the tenements. Project rules required tenants sweep the floors and clean their rooms, subject to occasional inspections (Riis 16). Combined with the controlled populations of the projects, this resulted in few outbreaks of disease, at least none of which
During the antebellum period it was not yet known that microorganisms were the cause of the outbreaks. The people did not understand that poor hygiene was the cause of the epidemic. They did, however, begin to try and keep the streets and the cities cleaner, but were not sure it would help. The people started to distrust doctors and would flee the city in hopes of outrunning the epidemics. It did not always work and they would catch it
When Britain ended salutary neglect, the colonists’ got mad. It was a major turning point in the history of America because it allowed Britain to gain control over all of the American colonies, and make laws and tax the people however they wanted to. This helped Britain get out of debt after the French and Indian War. Before Britain ended salutary neglect, colonists’ were allowed to do whatever they wanted to.
Sanitation was a problem in homes and public places. Many women lived in tenement houses and for this reason, women had difficulty cleaning and caring for the house. (Doc C) Basements were damp, stairways certainly weren’t fireproof, and finding untainted food was a large issue for people who lived in tenements. (Doc C) Factories were also filthy. Meat factories had meat falling onto the floor onto dirt and sawdust.
The majority of the people who died from this epidemic lived in congested housing like tenements. Tuberculosis was also very popular in tenements. Doctors credited eight to
The Hamilton home was lost but, since Eliza became apart of this organization she was able to receive the funds to keep the house. She was a cofounder of the Orphan Asylum Society which was the first orphanage in New York. In 1821 Eliza was promoted to head directress, yet her reign did not end until 1848. After the death of her husband in 1802, Eliza dedicated her life to spreading the legacy of her husband's.
The 17th America was a farmland. People were poor and some migrated to this country in the hope of quick wealth. Individuals from England and Europe began to migrate to America. The book gives a detailed account of the first houses, or rather huts which have been built in America.
Due to the vast amount of bacteria and virus causing diseases that plagued the soldiers, a centralized focus is placed on smallpox and gang
The authors used the help of physicians and Boards of Health from various towns to discern the impact of the epidemic. Many groups of individuals were affected by the disease, specifically the English, immigrants, and the Canadians (French Canadians and Lower Canadians). The English were known to maintain the customs they brought from their country which focused on “a good
Cold, stone, rigid walls. A gray blotch of “food” that no one can recognize. Persistent abuse from those who are supposed to aid the mentally disturbed. This is what Lennie Small’s life would have been like if George didn’t shoot him: constant suffering. That is exactly what George didn’t want for Lennie, so he shot him.
Whatever house the pestilence visited was immediately nailed up and if a person died within, he had to be buried there...” Staden’s observation was the people’s method
These precautions had some significance, but they were challenging to carry out and did little to keep out the rats and fleas that were the main disease carriers (Currie 50). To prevent it from spreading in Florence, the city streets were cleaned, ill travelers were refused entry, the authorities instructed all inhabitants to keep their houses, streets, and squares empty and not allow animals entry into the city, and butchers were mandated to strict hygienic regulations. The impacts of all these aspects contributed to the emergence of the Renaissance in
Dead women, entombed women, threatened women: many have argued that a fear of the feminine is at the root of much Gothic fiction. Outline how this fear of the feminine is present in, or perhaps challenged by, 2 of the gothic fictions we’ve looked at this semester. The fear of the feminine is a constant in gothic fiction, especially during its infancy; women were the unknown; the world of the maternal and feminine was engulfed by male paranoia, ignorance, and fear. This universal trepidation is a defining connection between the tale of Bluebeard and its female-centred 1979 retelling The Bloody Chamber, written by Charles Perrault and Angela Carter respectively.
