Evaluate the drafted changes
Since your original article is so short, I think you all could go in many directions. It's great that you all are talking to each other and planning it out. I think that the idea to focus a section on the cultural aspects is really important. Culture really impacts how people see the world and definitely plays apart in disease. It could be interesting to find information about what the "magic potions" they used consisted of, what they put in their shrines, etc. That information can be really hard to find if it even is out there, but it would be cool to go into detail if possible. It might be good to include if the country took any measures to try to prevent the outbreak and what they were (did they quarantine or anything like that). Maybe try to find information about how/if the outbreak affected their economy. The idea about having a section for early treatments is good as well. It would be interesting to see what types of treatments they came up with. That also ties in with the magic potion and shrines, since they thought that they would protect and help them.
