    Henry Whitehead was more than just the local gossip. He was Instrumental in convincing the world that cholera was water-bourne. After Snows death, he carried on the work and ultimately proved the point during a later outbreak in the East End. This led London to remode their sewage systems.
    Also, it wasn’t the local authorities who refused to heed the advice of John Snow and Whitehead, it was he scientific community. The whole point should’ve been the bravery of two men who were willing to challenge majority opinion using the scientific method!

    • @hassananwar9833

      Another factor that led to the new sewers was the great stink of 1858, that name explains it all.

    • @IronicHavoc
      @IronicHavoc 2 роки тому +174

      That was the point. They mentioned that it was the scientific community that ignored Snow's findings.
      I think the confusing part is that "people in charge" is referring to scientific authorities in the historical example, and political/governmental authorities in the modern analogy. But I think the general gist of the analogy is true regardless - that people in charge in pretty much any context will have a tendency to keep the status quo.

    This story is even more fascinating when you learn that at the same time Dr Snow was investigating this outbreak, another guy was designing the modern sewer system as a way to combat cholera because he believed the smell caused the disease - but in putting the sewage underground to stop the miasma, he inadvertently got it away from the city's water system thus saving more lives. Both he and Dr Snow lived about a block apart while they worked on the same problem and never met.

In one unnamed town people thought their priest gived them poisonous something in their wells so they tryed to lynch him but as they arrived to his house he went out and started to pray. Some of people were drunk and their anger started to rise so they hanged him. When the bishop found out what happend he brought the course over this town for 100 years. In this time they were forbidden to have a priest.

      More than likely, they've probably never heard of them. Neither had I until late last year. UA-cam is full of niche interest circles and the moment you step out of them you realise that these channels are utterly unknown to the population at large. Try running down your street yelling "Hey, do you watch Map Men?" and I will be amazed if a single person knows what you're going on about.
      At the same time though, who's to say TV companies haven't already tried to hire them? Broadcasters do make attempts to sniff out talent from the influencer pool, but quite often the influencers reply with a no thanks. The bigger influencers are probably making more money being on UA-cam which is one factor. Another major factor is that by working on TV, it means handing over your copyright, as well as your editorial and stylistic independence to the production company and broadcaster. For some, that's a step too far.

    An interesting note on a similar map. Thomas Shapter's cholera map of Exeter. It predated Snow's broad Street pump map and likely influenced the design as it was basically exactly the same and and an even earlier use of data journalism. Only, Shapter's map was used more to measure statistics than to see where Cholera came from.
    Anyway Shapter's map is in the Exeter uni library and there's a special course you can do about diseases which features the map.
