Question
Chapter 1.4, Problem 8CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyse:
- The diseases listed in Table 1.2 that can be prevented by vaccines or cured by drugs.
- The ways other than vaccines to prevent these diseases.
Introduction:
Vaccination has resulted in a decrease of many infections. Deadly diseases like small-pox have been eradicated from the world because of immunization drives and vaccinations. Many diseases can be prevented by vaccines or completely cured by drugs. For other diseases, it might be possible to prevent infection by controlling the spread of infection.

What is the Coronavirus? Is it a living organism? How does it reproduce? The current vaccines that are being distributed in the United States are made by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson. Explain how they work and how health officials believe they will aid in the pandemic? What should we expect as more and more people get vaccinated? Will things immediately go back to the way they were before? What is the Delta variant and how is it impeding on getting things back to "normal"?
The World Health Organization (WHO, 2017) haslisted six steps individualscan take to prevent and control the spread of antibiotic resistance. a.One of the recommendations is “Never demand antibiotics if your health worker says you don’t need them.”Explain why when you have a flu, your health care worker would say that you do not need antibiotics.
What are the other five recommendations?
Just last week the Energy Department now seems pretty confident that the coronavirus came from a lab leak:

The textbook discusses how the environment is part of the epidemiologic triangle. What is the epidemiologic triangle? (Figure 10-2, p.210). Why does it matter where this coronavirus started? Do you have any theories about how the virus was transmitted to humans?

- This article highlights a young doctor at Elmhurst Hospital during the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Zikry is quoted as saying: “It’s become very clear to me what a socioeconomic disease this is...”. In addition, the textbook discusses the personal variables and socioeconomic status (SES) that are used to find patterns in disease (pp.112-118). What do you think Dr. Zikry meant by referring to the SES of his patients? Why was it important to find a pattern of personal variables and SES among the of victims of Covid-19 at the beginning of the pandemic?arrow_forwardThe novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a virus for which no known vaccine is available yet. A person diagnosed with the virus can only be managed with the hope that their immune system will fight the virus. Governments of many countries (including Ghana) are now beginning to accept the reality that until a vaccine is found, ways must be adopted to be able to live with the virus without contracting it. This means that same must be done at the workplace as well. A single person found to have contracted the virus will have a lot of implication on the organisation. This certainly is a source of concern for HR managers in the organisation. i. Explain four (4) of the HR implications should the workforce contract this virus. ii. Apart from the various safety protocols outlined by the W.H.O. and health sectors of various countries, discuss how four (4) of the various HR practices could be employed to help fight this pandemic.arrow_forwardWhy are antibiotics and vaccines important?

You fear the risk of getting the flu because you've had it before and it wasn't a pleasant experience. You proceed to get the vaccinated for the flu. Which of the following statements regarding your recent vaccination is true? O The vaccine you received protects you from every strain of the flu. O The vaccine you received protects you from the strain of bacteria which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season". O The vaccine you received protects you from the virus which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season". O The vaccine won't be effective because you've had the flu in the past and are immune to it.arrow_forwardThis is a hypothetical scenario. A recently emerged virus has been transmitting and mutating rapidly in humans throughout the world. If a vaccine that stops transmission of all current circulating variants of the virus in humans is utilized and herd immunity is achieved throughout the world, would this essentially stop 1) further transmission of the virus; 2) further mutation of the virus, respectively?

- Comparing the number of infections, people catch cold so much more often than flu .Why haven’t we spent time and effort on developing vaccines to the cold virus ? a)The cold viral particle change over time, too difficult to develop a vaccine b)The cold viral remain stable over time and lose their ability to infect human over time c)The cold viral particle constantly change over time , catch a cold virus will result in vaccination for a long time d)There are too many strains of the cold virus and the symptoms are mildarrow_forwardVaccines typically contain particles that are pieces of the virus or bacteria they target. How do you think this helps you avoid getting sick in the future? a) vaccine-preventable diseases are just part of life. it is better to have the disease than become immune through vaccines b) vaccine programs fail to produce overall health benefits of a population by because they do not reduce the transmission od disease c) the particles act as antibodies, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies d) the particles act as antigens, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies e) vaccines create an entirely new immune systemarrow_forwardWhy do scientists worry more about new strains of viruses like influenza and coronviruses as potential causes of deadly human pandemics, but they never talk about the next big Herpesvirus strain deadly pandemic? Which of the statements below helps partially answer that? We already have effective vaccines for Herpes. Influenza and CoV have more genes, more complex gene expression, and can undergo genetic recombination or reassortment, while Herpesviruses are more limited. Only humans get Herpesviruses, while animals can get Influenza viruses and Coronaviruses. dsDNA viruses aren't very transmissible and even when they are, they're not deadly. Influenza and CoV are RNA viruses which results in having higher mutation rates -- they can more easily jump between host species. Herpesviruses are dsDNA viruses and usually very host specific.
