Chemical plant (near) explosions, Ebola, Hantavirus, and that's before you even get to the usual suspects: common colds, heat, and ticks. The global count of cruise ship passengers with Hantavirus has now increased to 13 cases (11 confirmed), with three deaths.

And it's going to take a team effort, from communities to individuals, from public health to health care, to keep people healthy.
