-1. Poverty conditions are ideal for disease. Poor nutrition, exposure to contaminants, aged or non existent infrastructure, crime, disenfranchisement, neglect, overcrowding, lack of medical access, severe limits on education, violence directed toward oneself or community, exploitation, malnutrition. Poverty is frequently linked to disease and environmental degradation, but is not the cause of those but fosters those. In fact there are conditions that are seriously impoverished, and yet are healthier than what are thought of as being wealthy. [Cartoon, Wheel of Misfortune]
-A. With all the associations of being poor and disease it is no surprise that poverty is viewed as a contagion, something to stay away from rather than a social problem to solve. This naturally leads to a moralist interpretation and the idea of the poor being undeserving of help =2=. The impoverished become the Other. The destitute likewise view those who are richer as Other from themselves. This mutual antagonism feeds mutual suspicion and distrust. This attitude then becomes fear of further repression, policies and actions of suppression, increasing inequality and eventually an outbreak of revolution. Social Determinants and BCG Efficacy: A Call for a Socio-Biological Approach to TB Prevention.
-B. Ending poverty is an economic and political conundrum. The poor provide servants; Low wages for critical but (un)skilled labor; Security and military forces that can be put in harms way; Voting blocks that can be manipulated; Sources of income that are not necessarily illegal (debt, wage slavery). Providing more funds and access may not have a return of investment or improve benefactors financial and social status. Good Global Health Can Help Us End Extreme Poverty.
-C. Being economically destitute does not cause health and environmental problems, but poverty does foster the conditions that exacerbates health and environment problems. These in turn accelerates poverty’s impacts on health and environment. Poverty probably was an artefact of the first civilizations. Poverty can be classified as a anthropogenic biocalamity, along with war (polemic), overpopulation, and pollution.
-2. Five Years Later, HIV Hit Town Rebounds. But the Nation Is Slow to Heed Lessons. In February 2015, an unprecedented HIV outbreak fueled by intravenous drug use hit the small city of Austin, Indiana. Under pressure, then Gov. Mike Pence reluctantly allowed a syringe exchange. Five years later, HIV is undetectable in most of the outbreak patients. Still, the lessons haven’t been learned nationwide. Fewer than a third of the 220 counties deemed by the federal government as vulnerable to similar outbreaks have active syringe exchange programs.

-3. Humour as Resistance: Disaster Humour in Post 9/11 United States. Making jokes about accidents and catastrophes and making fun of the forces of death and destruction is a peculiar phenomenon. Disaster humour, as it is widely known, is a curious juxtaposition of humour and tragedy. Disaster humour has had a long and varied life, ever present in human civilisations through folk songs, tales and jokes. However, disaster jokes as we know them today, in their set format and wide circulation, is a recent phenomenon. Disaster jokes were spurred by the rise of television in the twentieth century. The incongruous package of television, which combined soaps, reality shows and advertisements with news, turned out to be perfect fodder for jokes based on tragic events across the globe. The shock and awe that television news sought to create, along with a hegemony of feeling that told viewers how to react to disasters encouraged the growth of disaster jokes. Parademic includes humor as one of its topics Pandemic Humor, and is largely informed by post 9/11 humor studies. The anthrax mail attacks that happened soon after 911 illustrates this influence on all aspects of disasters and biocalamities, especially the blending with terrorism to the detriment of disaster and public health preparation [Cartoon =2= =3= =4= =5= =6= =7=, Sign].

As always the following subcategories are fluid, an item could be in another category or multiple categories, and there are other subcategories possible. Items are also not in chronological order but are chaotic, however no matter what order items are put in they will always suggest a pattern and lead to a particular interpretation depending on the perceiver.
