Date: 2017-09-15

A tale of data mapping, epidemiology, and a man named John Snow: In 1854, it was widely accepted that miasma, the foul stench of decay, caused cholera. The water companies, in particular, were convinced that water couldn't transmit the disease. But the contrarian Dr. John Snow thought otherwise.
