STAGE ONE!
Incubation Stage
• This is where someone first comes into contact with the Swine Flu. That contact begins the process of the Flu replicating and building in the body.
• What would this be like in a revolution?
• In a revolution this stage generally involves the causes (political, economic, religious, etc)
• At times these causes or incubation stage can fester for years or longer.
What was/were the incubation points in the American Revolution?

• In a revolution this is where the first direct action is taking place.
• This can be protests, publications, organization, etc
• Change is afoot at this point

Crisis Stage
• This is the critical stage of Swine Flu!
• Two things can happen after the disease reaches this point: the fever breaks –or- it gets worse and the patient dies• In a revolution this is
the “make or break” point, or the “point of no return”.
• Generally this is where full-scale fighting has ensued.
• This period decides the fate of the Revolution

Convalescence
• This is where you recover from the Flu
• You are probably weakened• You fought off the Flu and
hopefully wont get it again!
• In a revolution this is where the fighting has ended.
• Treaties and agreements address the causes of the Revolution.

CONCLUSIONS What were the underlying issues that
started the Revolution? John Adams stated that “The
Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people…” Is this statement accurate?
At what point did the Revolution reach a “point of no return”?
