DYK

Is this dyk'able? If so...can you advise and hook it? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:57, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Your current editing worries me. Should I be heading for my secret bunker in New Zealand where I have a year's supply of canned food?

Yes, assuming you expect any survivors. If not, don't bother. 5x from 29th.

DYK that emerging infectious diseases specialist Daniel R. Lucey worked on HIV/AIDS before we discovered it but after it discovered us? (Pandora)

DYK that emerging infectious diseases specialist Daniel R. Lucey has spent 30 years "chasing things you wouldn't want to catch"? (Alumni Album)

DYK that infectious diseases specialist Daniel R. Lucey's work on bioterrorism prepared him to advise on the 2001 anthrax scare? (add bioterrorism and anthrax pic to article)

DYK that American physician Daniel R. Lucey was first exposed to infectious diseases at a South African hospital?Philafrenzy (talk) 19:31, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

"Your current editing worries me"...What am I doing wrong? I stub'ed Lucey last summer...suddenly he started to get escalating views. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Editing about global pandemics! Philafrenzy (talk) 20:02, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Oh...nothing soap and water can't handle. Can you check Anand's book and typhoid in Croydon? Am I requesting too much?Whispyhistory (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Have you told the Chinese about this simple remedy? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Lets say the story is complex... There is a lot more to Lucey...but I have to refrain. Do you remember the Pickles story and the love affair...or snow...all boils down to traditional epidemiology. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:15, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Are you saying it is spread by kissing? Bad news for Chinese romantics. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

NO...I am pointing out mapping of the disease....but Pickles was a good example...as is the typhoid outbreak of Croydon. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:50, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Susan Sweney

Hi....I was reading O'Donaghue. ref 3 says p 211, but I make it p. 116. Is yours different? Whispyhistory (talk) 14:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Which instance of ref 3? Are you reading the dissertation (1995) or the book (2014)? Ref 3 refers to the book. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:53, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I see...Are they very different? The dissertation is interesting Whispyhistory (talk) 15:02, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I have only compared as far as Sweney is concerned where the book extends the story a little with new material. The book can be purchased for a few pounds on Amazon (£3.54 plus postage). It is full of good article subjects although I particularly like Sweney because she looks so innocent in the photo and has a great haircut. None of the others are as photogenic. He actually could have gone further on her as since the dissertation her secret file has been released. It is about 130 pages of documents - £3.50 from the National Archives. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the price list.Whispyhistory (talk) 16:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I thought you had blown all your money here. See p. 215 for the Indian station associated with Bose. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:10, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

P. 215 of the book or the dissertation? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Dissertation. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

?...some of this stuff is in Anand's book. However, I am a little tied with learning about water supplies/wells and reservoirs. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Lisa von Pott had Indian connections and was Rabindranath Tagore's secretary 1926-19. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:34, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
