Malaria No More
The discussion around malaria is always really strange to me, because it&#x27;s so close to home and yet so far away at the same time.<p>At this point I&#x27;ve frankly lost count of the number of times I&#x27;ve contracted malaria, but I&#x27;m willing to bet it&#x27;s well over fifty. I <i>understand</i>, theoretically, that it kills an obscene amount of people a year, but it doesn&#x27;t really sink in that it&#x27;s actually a deadly disease. I&#x27;ve never felt fear for my life while sick with it.<p>I wonder how much simply having access to the bare minimum of standard healthcare would reduce the number of fatalities per year.
