Describe how we can use Epidemiology to explain and predict the Ebola outbreak. What kind of questions should we attempt to answer??

A key result of the pandemic has been the increased scrutiny of scientific research by a broader and, in some cases, a less experienced audience, resulting in significant discussions about the basic tenets of scientific theory and discovery. How would you help people understand the enduring value of experimental science to our society for effectively addressing challenging human health problems?

Explain how common source outbreaks differ from propagated epidemic using the Corona virus outbreak and pandemic support your answer

Which of the following statements is incorrect?   a.

Many of the historical figures in epidemiology did not have a formal background in epidemiology or public health   c. It is not possible for epidemiologists to function in the absence of sophisticated computers, software, high speed internet, and well-equipped labs.   d. In addition to understanding acute infectious diseases, epidemiology also examines risk factors for chronic and/or non-infectious health conditions including mental health issues, substance use, cancers, cardiovascular conditions, and the implications of trauma, violence, and systemic racism.

Describe the pathogen that causes “The Flu”. What happens you get the flu and how did you most likely acquire it. Explain how the causal pathogen is different from many other pathogens in terms of why it can cause epidemics and pandemics and why you need an annual vaccine. Define the terms antigenic shift and antigenic drift and explain how they are related to this disease.

During the 2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Ebola aid workers like Abdul Lebbie engaged in a practice called contact tracing. These contact tracers locate and isolate (through quarantine) individuals who may have come into contact with an infected individual. Contact tracing is an attempt to reduce the RO of a disease by: reducing the infectious period reducing the transmission rate reducing the virulence increasing the infectious period O increasing the transmission rate
