Описание: This powerful history describes the daily progression of the Ebola outbreak that swept across West Africa and struck Europe and America from December 2013 to June 2016. A case study on a massive scale, it follows the narratives of numerous patients as well as the journey of physicians and scientists from discovery to action and from tracking to containment. The unfolding story reveals ever-shifting complexities such as the varied paths the infection took from country to country, the multiple responses of community members, and the occurrence of flare-ups when the outbreak was seemingly over. The book’s finely-documented present-tense reporting records key facts, events, and observations, including: Routes of Ebola transmission, incubation, symptoms, short- and long-term effects on survivors Early attempts to understand and contain the virus and curb practices contributing to its spread Medical, governmental, and public responses, from local education programs to global efforts Communication and conflict between healthcare workers and communities Social and economic outcomes of Ebola in the affected nationsEbola remains incurable, although a vaccine is now available. For members of the medical community, public health officials, medical historians, scholarly professionals, and interested laypeople, A Day-by-Day Chronicle of the 2013-2016 Ebola Outbreak makes starkly clear what we can learn from these events not only for future outbreaks of Ebola, but also for the emergence of as-yet unknown diseases.
In november 2019, Wuhan in China was struck by a variant of corona viruses called the Novel Coronaviruses (Covid-19) and up to March 2020, has claimed 3,000 lives and infected more than 80,000 people in China alone, and 200,000 across the globe spanning over 25 countries including Japan, Germany, USA, Canada, France, Italy and the UK. In each case, corona virus outbreaks have followed somewhat similar patterns, moving from animals (mostly bats) and then to their human hosts. Also, most outbreaks of the corona viruses have been zeroed down to Asia at large and China in particular.
This book covers the following topics:
Coronavirus
How the virus infects people
Strategy to avoid being infected
Recognize the symptoms
Treatment & vaccine status
The best respirators (masks)
How can i further educate myself and stay in front of the information?
How can you protect yourself and your family from wuhan virus?
How to handle quarantine with one sick family member
Prevention and immune strengthening
A physical way of temporary soothing
...And much more
Throughout human history, we have suffered a particular type of respiratory infection that has come to be known as "the common cold", typified by cough, sore throat, runny nose, and sometimes fever.
The common cold is as a result of a viral infection, particularly of the corona virus subtype. There is no cure for this respiratory condition. However, because of it's non-life threatening nature, man has learnt to live with it and little time and resources have been put into finding a cure for the common cold as opposed to more deadlier health conditions such as HIV and cancer.
From the near innocuous nature of the common cold to the panic-level virulence of the novel corona virus, Corona viruses have remained a relevant subject of concern in human existence, constantly determining and influencing various aspects of our lives such has migration, health policies, research interests, food, and even the price of stocks and shares in the market. Corona viruses, as their name implies are truly the kings of virulence in this day and age.
Описание: When an epidemic strikes, media outlets are central to how an outbreak is framed and understood. While reporters construct stories intended to inform the public and convey essential information from doctors and politicians, news narratives also serve as historical records, capturing sentiments, responses, and fears throughout the course of the epidemic.Constructing the Outbreak demonstrates how news reporting on epidemics communicates more than just information about pathogens; rather, prejudices, political agendas, religious beliefs, and theories of disease also shape the message. Analyzing seven epidemics spanning more than two hundred years -- from Boston's smallpox epidemic and Philadelphia's yellow fever epidemic in the eighteenth century to outbreaks of diphtheria, influenza, and typhoid in the early twentieth century -- Katherine A. Foss discusses how shifts in journalism and medicine influenced the coverage, preservation, and fictionalization of different disease outbreaks. Each case study highlights facets of this interplay, delving into topics such as colonization, tourism, war, and politics. Through this investigation into what has been preserved and forgotten in the collective memory of disease, Foss sheds light on current health care debates, like vaccine hesitancy.

Описание: Further, it presents a comprehensive urban resilience approach used to support city management in the recent outbreaks in Chinese cities, which can be applied in cities around the globe to strengthen their resilience and maximise the practicality of urban resilience and minimise urban vulnerabilities during disease outbreaks.

Today the world is facing one of the biggest health and economic crises in history. In the last few weeks, tens of thousands of people have had several issues due to respiratory tract sicknesses, including the regular cold. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this concerns especially old people. Babies and young adults are affected as well but in a less incisive way.
The same viral pathogen was liable for the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) episodes.
The 2003 SARS episode additionally rose out of China and was accepted to be answerable for 8,000 cases and around 800 passings.
The main distinguished instance of MERS happened in 2012 in Saudi Arabia, and the episode was contained in the Bedouin Promontory. In any case, there was a bigger flare-up in the Republic of Korea in 2015, transmitted by somebody who had visited Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain. There were around 186 cases and 36 passings from this flare-up.
How To Stop An Outbreak has been written with the idea of starting again to live a healthy life and come back to normality as soon as possible. In this book, you will learn about:
What are the symptoms for which you should worry
Death rates
Is there a vaccine or a cure? And how can we avoid being infected?
How to protect yourself and your family? Is a mask really useful?
How to protect yourself if you go out during an outbreak
Simple ways to increase the body's immunity
What to do if you get sick and are waiting for being hospitalized?
The truth about common rumors
Where most books passively report numbers and facts that you can easily access from the media and the internet, this book goes further, providing guidance on what you should do to minimize contagion and how you should behave in case of emergency.
Right now, a far-reaching investigation of the study of disease transmission and clinical highlights has been done and reported in this manuscript.

There is a growing crisis in our oceans: mysterious outbreaks of infectious disease are on the rise. Marine epidemics can cause mass die-offs of wildlife from the bottom to the top of food chains, impacting the health of ocean ecosystems as well as lives on land. Portending global environmental disaster, ocean outbreaks are fueled by warming seas, sewage dumping, unregulated aquaculture, and drifting plastic.
Ocean Outbreak follows renowned scientist Drew Harvell and her colleagues into the field as they investigate how four iconic marine animals--corals, abalone, salmon, and starfish--have been devastated by disease. Based on over twenty years of research, this firsthand account of the sometimes gradual, sometimes exploding impact of disease on our ocean's biodiversity ends with solutions and a call to action. Only through policy changes and the implementation of innovative solutions from nature can we reduce major outbreaks, save some ocean ecosystems, and protect our fragile environment.
