Yes, there were huge plagues in Ancient Rome that caused all kind of devastation.....

One of the FIRST of the BIG plagues was the Antonine Plague, 165-180 AD, also known as the Plague of Galen, an ancient pandemic, whether of smallpox or measles, they are not sure, claimed the lives of TWO Roman emperors.

The disease broke out again 9 years later and caused up to 2,000 deaths a DAY at Rome, one quarter of those infected.

Total deaths have been estimated at five million.

Disease killed as much as one-third of the population in some areas, and decimated the Roman army.

This thing traveled far too, up into Gaul, all over Roman Europe.

The Plague of Justinian may have been the first instance of bubonic plague and was one of the causes of the Fall of the Roman Empire.

Smaller but no less deadlier plagues played havoc throughout the Roman Empire over many years.

<span>I believe the answer is: Mr. Jones had signed an authorization to disclose the information for the test results and the result should be given to the health department.

By making this authorization, Mr. Jones has given Dr. Marks with the right to handle the information regarding his personal test as long as its within the scope of health department database. This would take out all the legal grounds that Jones could use to sue Dr. Marks.</span>
