Quite a read, quite a discovery, and lives were saved, (don't mind being dramatic), this discovery was indeed as a result of hard work from Fleming, the honor of a scientist.
The British tried every possible means to prevent the information on the method of production of penicillin from reaching the enemies.
Geographical boundaries have been seen to hinder the advancement of science in the ancient times, it's a good we are where we are now, a globalized world. I wonder how the mortality rate would be without the penicillin, it's a call to hard work and further discoveries from we humans for a better tomorrow.
The mortality was high, then the little or straightforward sickness or cult we survive now was one of the significant causes of death.
But the hard work and the cooperation helped them which is what we need currently to overcome the current menace (antibiotic resistance)
Am glad you like it.
