And I go to bed to find this over on TwitterOn Fri, 3 Apr 2020, 21:58 Timothy Collinson, <xxxxxx@port.ac.uk> wrote:While I'm at it, I might as well do this as well:the two key ones are, as Jeff surmises, a newer treatment for Mongoose 2 in Traveller Companion and the pretty stunning/comprehensive article in the online Freelance Traveller on Medicine in Traveller: Drugs by Rob O'Connor. (I mean in addition to JTAS 13 and Travellers' Digest 20 which I think have been noted).(Just to clarify, this - and the earlier one on airships, is probably not exhaustive. It's a search for airship/dirigible/blimp earlier and now disease/plague/illness IN: The Traveller Bibliography (plus the 2018/2019 update), The Traveller Periodical Bibliography (plus the wip that is volume 2), and a web search on Freelance Traveller. Except that I've not done 'illness' on the latter as I must go to bed.)HTHtcplague/disease in Traveller
