It wasn't until the late 1880's that medicine finally figured out that how Tuberculosis was spread. Up until then, it was thought to be a family disease.

All Seniors and everyone with medical conditions need to fill out a File of Life
Have y'all heard of these? It is vital information for first responders as to what medication you take, your physicians name, allergies, even your pets names so that first responders know that there are pets in the home.

Here is some info https://www.folife.org/
There may be an organization in your area where you can get the files or if worse comes to worse, amazon has them in bundles of 5

This way, everyone is prepared and not flying blind trying to get info together.
