  "abstract": "Throughout human history, outbreaks of new and known highly lethal infectious diseases have evoked fear, suspicion, anger, and social disruption in communities within country of origin and neighbouring regions. [1] From plague, smallpox to the influenza, cholera Ebola, Lassa fever, Marburg virus disease, and COVID-19, communities worldwide have often viewed health workers, public health authorities, isolation facilities, and burial teams with mistrust and anxiety. Such reactions should not be attributed to ignorance alone.",
