Notes:  An evolutionary feedback loop–we evolve, our diseases, pathogens, plagues evolve and take their toll.  We evolve (figure out how to solve the problems of tuberculosis, or cholera, or hantavirus)–the diseases, pathogens, plagues evolve once again.  We can figure them out, but we’ll never beat them (polio, coronavirus, e.g.).  Like the poor, they will always be with us.
