Shakespeare's Contagious Sympathies : Ill Communications
Understanding the early-modern subject to be constituted, as Shakespeare's Ulysses explains, by its communications with others, this study considers what happens when these conceptions of compassionate communication and sympathetic exchange are comprehensively undermined by period anxieties concerning contagion and the transmission of disease.Allowing that 'no man is . . . any thing' until he has 'communicate[d] his parts to others', can these formative communications still be risked in a world preoccupied by communicable sickness, where every contact risks contraction, where every touch could be the touch of plague, where kind interaction could facilitate cruel infection, and where to commiserate is to risk 'miserable dependence'?Counting the cost of compassion, this study of Shakespeare's plays and poetry analyses how medical explanations of disease impact upon philosophical conceptions and literary depictions of his characters who find themselves precariously implicated within a world of ill communications.It examines the influence of scientific thought upon the history of the subject, and explores how Shakespeare—alive to both the importance and dangers of sympathetic communication—articulates an increasing sense of both the pragmatic benefits of monadic thought, emotional isolation, and subjective quarantine, while offering his account of the considerable loss involved when we lose faith in vulnerable, tender, and open existence.

Contagious holiness : Jesus' Meals With Sinners
One of humanity's most basic and common practices - eating meals - was transformed by Jesus into an occasion of divine encounter.In sharing food and drink with his companions, he invited them to share in the grace of God.His redemptive mission was revealed in his eating with sinners, repentant and unrepentant alike. Jesus' 'table fellowship' with sinners in the Gospels has been widely agreed to be historically reliable.However, this consensus has recently been challenged, for example, by the claim that the meals in which Jesus participated took the form of Greco-Roman symposia - or that the 'sinners' involved were the most flagrantly wicked within Israel's society, not merely the ritually impure or those who did not satisfy strict Pharisaic standards of holiness. In this excellent and thorough study, Craig Blomberg engages with the debate and opens up the significance of the topic.He surveys meals in the Old Testament and the intertestamental period, examines all the Gospel texts relevant to Jesus' eating with sinners, and concludes with some contemporary applications.

Contagious : Cultures, Carriers, and the Outbreak Narrative
How should we understand the fear and fascination elicited by the accounts of communicable disease outbreaks that proliferated, following the emergence of HIV, in scientific publications and the mainstream media?The repetition of particular characters, images, and story lines—of Patients Zero and superspreaders, hot zones and tenacious microbes—produced a formulaic narrative as they circulated through the media and were amplified in popular fiction and film.The “outbreak narrative” begins with the identification of an emerging infection, follows it through the global networks of contact and contagion, and ends with the epidemiological work that contains it.Priscilla Wald argues that we need to understand the appeal and persistence of the outbreak narrative because the stories we tell about disease emergence have consequences.As they disseminate information, they affect survival rates and contagion routes.They upset economies. They promote or mitigate the stigmatizing of individuals, groups, locales, behaviors, and lifestyles.Wald traces how changing ideas about disease emergence and social interaction coalesced in the outbreak narrative.She returns to the early years of microbiology—to the identification of microbes and “Typhoid Mary,” the first known healthy human carrier of typhoid in the United States—to highlight the intertwined production of sociological theories of group formation (“social contagion”) and medical theories of bacteriological infection at the turn of the twentieth century.Following the evolution of these ideas, Wald shows how they were affected by—or reflected in—the advent of virology, Cold War ideas about “alien” infiltration, science-fiction stories of brainwashing and body snatchers, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.Contagious is a cautionary tale about how the stories we tell circumscribe our thinking about global health and human interactions as the world imagines—or refuses to imagine—the next Great Plague.

Is mold contagious?
Mold itself is not contagious in the same way that a virus or bacteria is. However, mold spores can spread easily through the air and can settle on surfaces, leading to the growth of new mold colonies. It is important to address mold issues promptly to prevent further spread and potential health risks.
-
Is intelligence contagious?
Intelligence is not contagious in the traditional sense of being able to spread from one person to another like a virus. However, being around intelligent and motivated individuals can inspire and motivate others to strive for greater intellectual achievements. Additionally, engaging in stimulating conversations and activities with intelligent individuals can help to expand one's own knowledge and cognitive abilities. Ultimately, while intelligence itself may not be contagious, the behaviors and attitudes of intelligent individuals can certainly have a positive influence on those around them.
-
Is fever contagious?
No, fever itself is not contagious. Fever is a symptom of an underlying illness or infection, such as the flu or a cold, and it is the illness or infection that can be contagious, not the fever. However, if the underlying illness is contagious, then it can be spread from person to person through close contact or respiratory droplets. It's important to practice good hygiene and take precautions to prevent the spread of contagious illnesses, especially when someone has a fever.
-
Is conjunctivitis contagious?
Yes, conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, can be contagious depending on the cause. Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are contagious and can easily spread through direct contact with an infected person's eye discharge or respiratory droplets. Allergic conjunctivitis, on the other hand, is not contagious as it is caused by allergens such as pollen or pet dander. It is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and avoiding touching the eyes, to prevent the spread of contagious conjunctivitis.

Is waiting contagious?
Yes, waiting can be contagious. When we see others waiting, it can influence our own behavior and make us more likely to wait as well. This is known as social influence, where we are influenced by the actions of those around us. For example, if we see a group of people waiting in line, we are more likely to join the line and wait as well. This can also be seen in situations where people are waiting for a response or decision, as the act of waiting can spread among a group of individuals.

Is rust contagious?
Rust is not contagious in the traditional sense of being able to spread from one object to another through direct contact. Rust is a chemical reaction that occurs when iron or steel is exposed to oxygen and moisture, causing the metal to corrode. However, if rust particles from one object come into contact with another object and create the right conditions for rusting, then the second object can also become rusted. So while rust itself is not contagious, the conditions that cause rust can be spread from one object to another.
