How many people died of yellow fever in 1793?

My history book mentioned a yellow fever outbreak in 1793. I was quite curious about the impact it had. Does anyone know how many people died of yellow fever in 1793?

Uff, 1793, that's really going back in time! A lot, I imagine. Before all these fancy medicines and injections, life must have been a game of chance, especially with diseases like that. Glad I live now, though my back still feels like it's from 1793.

Wow, going way back in time, are we? Probably enough to make us grateful for modern medicine and mosquito repellents! Imagine trying to fight that with just... good vibes? Nah, vaccines are better.

It was a devastating epidemic. Many lives were lost during that time.

Ah, that was a very bad period in history, with many thousands perishing. My grandma always said how lucky we are now to have doctors and hospitals. These old epidemics remind us to take vaccinations seriously and listen to medical experts for protection.

Haan, woh toh bahut purani baat hai na? Us time toh medicines bhi itni nahi thi. Bahut log mare honge, sunke hi darr lagta hai. Ab toh thankfully itni vaccines aa gayi hain. Shukar hai.
