How Does the Past Influence the Present ●Because we have had this disease for so long we have developed a vaccine ●We know the disease before it develops badly ●If someone has the disease we can save them with new medical equipment developed over the years ●If all those people didn’t die history probably would be different because they would have contributed different things
