Ways Infectious Diseases Spread

This project involves learning about infectious diseases in human history. My goal is to accurately
estimate how likely another pandemic or epidemic would happen in the future, how soon it would come,
and what the disease would be like. I also want to inform people of ways to prevent this from happening.
The third way Ive learned about infectious diseases is learning about how they spread. There are five
ways germs can spread: droplet spread, airborne spread, faeco-oral spread, contact spread, and spread
through blood or other body fluids. These germs can enter the human body through the mouth, eyes,
genitals, broken skin, and the respiratory tract. In learning about this, I will be able to convey how
humans get disease and I can learn about ways to prevent them.
