Dear Sylvia..thanks for your comments..I know too what you know..but the aim is that all of them were afflicted with the same organ (lungs)
Pneumonia always attacks the LUNGS and no other part of the body, dear Freeyad.
Nowadays the houses are built with the best insight of health, we have now the WHO
not famous and unknown to the world.So not only thinkers, but most people died because they did not have real healthy place to live in, BUT they knew not better, since the general health level was still very low.
In the ages where these authors lived, ordinary people died of pneumonia and TBC too, but their death were never mentioned, because they are just ordinary persons,
Thinkers lived mostly in the dark sunless chambers Pneumonia too lives in the sunless dark chambers.These dead authors knew no better place than theirs. The lived in an age where the general healthy situation was still on a low level, but they knew not better.
