Why are communicable diseases potentially more dangerous than non-communicable diseases in a community?

Communicable diseases can spread easily from person to person, leading to rapid outbreaks and higher infection rates in a community. This makes them potentially more dangerous as they can affect a larger number of individuals quickly. Non-communicable diseases, on the other hand, are typically chronic conditions that do not spread through direct contact.
