How to prevent the disease happening again?1.The two theories are : The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air without reason. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals.3.To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all water supplies be examined and new methods of dealing with polluted water be found.2.John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. Keys:Discussion: Discuss the following questions in groups of four.1.2.3.Cholera was a 19th century disease. What disease do you think is similar to cholera today?John Snow believed Idea 2 was right. How did he finally prove it?Do you think John Snow would have solved this problem with- out the map? Give a reason. Two diseases, which are similar today, are SARS and AIDS because they are both very serious, have an unknown cause and public health care to solve them. John Snow finally proved his idea because he found an outbreak that was clearly related to cholera, collected information and was able to tie cases outside the area to the polluted water.Keys1.2. No. The map helped John Snow organise his ideas. He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and check their water-drinking habits. He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits. The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.3.
