a lot of people were dying much quicker and the disease would spread
Hispaniola - 29,418 square miles.
The northern edge of the island of Hispaniola is at 19 degrees 55 minutes north.
The reason we were able to "erradicate" (said that way because we have stores in labs) smallpox was because the human serotype is only able to affect humans. The smallpox vaccine is made from cowpox, which is similar enough to smallpox to provide immunity, but cannot infect us.
Hispaniola is an island in the Caribbean region, shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It is located between Cuba to the west and Puerto Rico to the east.
One potential biological warfare agent that is a virus is smallpox. It is highly contagious and has the ability to cause severe illness and high mortality rates within populations. Its aerosolized form can potentially be used as a weapon to infect large numbers of people.
Smallpox had a far more devastating effect in the New World, where it occurred as epidemics. The first recorded smallpox outbreak in Latin America occurred in 1507, when Spanish explorers brought the disease to Hispaniola. The natives lacked immunity to smallpox and entire tribes were extinguished. The population of Hispaniola, estimated to be 300,000 in 1492, had reportedly decreased to less than a 1,000 by 1541. 4 During the following decades Spaniards were able to conquer the Aztecs and the Incas, who, despite their large armies, sooner or later succumbed to smallpox. Historians cite from 2 to 15 million Aztec deaths due to smallpox.5Smallpox moved northward from Mexico and westward from the eastern populations of the United States and Canada.4 By the mid-1800s, smallpox had decimated many Native American tribes from United States, Canada, and Alaska.
