The Cholera outbreak was truly something that was featured heavily in Mrs. Seacole, as she worked hard to help people out as they were sick from it, "For a few days the terrible disease made such slow progress amongst us that we almost hoped it  had passed on its way and spared us; but all at once it spread rapidly, and affrighted faces and cries of woe soon showed how fatally the destroyer was at work" (pg. 30). Indeed the Cholera outbreak was something horrible inded, many died to it and it was considered to have caused the largest amount of deaths in the 19th century. This indeed reminds me of our situation today with covid-19.
