zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
6 0
To combat the threat of tropical diseases such as malaria and yellow fever, the United States decided to use new measures to eradicate the disease before the construction of the Panama Canal.  Under the leadership of Colonel William Crawford Gorgas, many changes were made.  When it was discovered that mosquitoes were the source of the disease, Gorgas who was appointed as the head of hospital and sanitation, he made sure that containers with stagnant water were removed because mosquitoes lay their eggs there.  He also built domestic water systems to eliminate the need to collect rain water.  Prophylactic Quinine was supplied to the people in the area and fumigation and oiling of streams were launched.  Those who were sick were quarantined and workers would sleep in screened structures so that mosquitoes would not be able to bite them.  These programs resulted in the successful elimination of tropical diseases in the area and the health of workers improved.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer would be Recession.

Explanation:

Slow Economic activity with prices low and many people out of work is the main sign of Recession.

Recession is the term used in Macroeconomics, which refers to the significant decline in the economic activity of a country. This recession can happen in a country, or countries or in the whole world. Almost all of the economic indicators show a fall. Main economic indicators that indicate the overall condition or situation of the economy may include, Gross Domestic Product GDP, Household Income, Business Profits, Investment Spending, etc. These indicators fall where as the other indicators like unemployment rate, unemployment claims, bankruptcies, etc rise.

So when the general economic activity slows down, and many people are out of the work, it is the indication of Recession in the economy.
