Описание: This book examines the public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Asia-Oceania region and their implications for democratic backsliding in the period January 2020 to mid-2021. The contributions discuss three key questions: How did political institutions in Asia-Oceania create incentives for effective public health responses to the COVID-19 outbreak? How did state capacities enhance governments' ability to implement public health responses? How have governance responses affected the democratic quality of political institutions and processes? Together, the analyses reveal the extent to which institutions prompted an effective public health response and highlights that a high-capacity state was not a necessary condition for containing the spread of COVID-19 during the early phase of the pandemic. By combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, the volume also shows that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of democratic institutions has been uneven across Asia-Oceania.
Guided by a comprehensive theoretical framework, this will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of political science, policy studies, public health and Asian studies.

Описание: How the politicization of the pandemic endangers our lives-and our democracyCOVID-19 has killed more people than any war or public health crisis in American history, but the scale and grim human toll of the pandemic were not inevitable. Pandemic Politics examines how Donald Trump politicized COVID-19, shedding new light on how his administration tied the pandemic to the president's political fate in an election year and chose partisanship over public health, with disastrous consequences for all of us. Health is not an inherently polarizing issue, but the Trump administration's partisan response to COVID-19 led ordinary citizens to prioritize what was good for their "team" rather than what was good for their country.
Democrats, in turn, viewed the crisis as evidence of Trump's indifference to public well-being. At a time when solidarity and bipartisan unity were sorely needed, Americans came to see the pandemic in partisan terms, adopting behaviors and attitudes that continue to divide us today. This book draws on a wealth of new data on public opinion to show how pandemic politics has touched all aspects of our lives-from the economy to race and immigration-and puts America's COVID-19 response in global perspective.
An in-depth account of a uniquely American tragedy, Pandemic Politics reveals how the politicization of the COVID-19 pandemic has profound and troubling implications for public health and the future of democracy itself.

Описание: The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the global at a colossal scale. With worldwide reported cases of 5.34 million it has led to severe impact on humanity. Being a highly contagious disease, it has given global health services their most severe challenge. Various countries are fighting to minimize the losses due to the outbreak, however a common trait is enforcing lockdown, which has become the main defence mechanism. Researchers are working around the clock to find a breakthrough in the diagnostics and treatment of the pandemic.
AI technology is useful for fast drug development and treatment. In the starting phase of COVID-19 pandemic, the medical fraternity in China diagnosed the virus using computed tomography (CT) and X-ray images due to the limitation of testing kits. Deep learning neural network model have also been used for COVID-19 diagnosis. AI assisted intelligent humanoid robots can be used to reduce the human contact and spread of COVID-19. In Italy robots have been used for measuring blood pressure, oxygen saturation and temperature of patients. Robots have also found applications in disinfecting and sterilizing of public places, COVID-19 testing, food and medicine delivery as well as entertaining patients in hospitals and quarantine centers, thereby reducing the workload of doctors and nurses.
Prediction of the spread of virus and providing the guidelines or prevention measures is another AI application in COVID-19. Kaggle and GitHub are the two websites where the real-time data of COVID-19 is aggregated. This includes confirmed cases, active cases, cured cases and deaths in each country. This data set can be used for predicting the active cases across different regions of the world so that appropriate amount of health infrastructure can be made available to these places.
Описание: If you want to learn how to easily make homemade medical masks on your own, then keep reading...
According to certain studies, the efficacy of a face mask in preventing the spread of diseases is inconclusive. This is due to the fact that the studies were conducted on healthcare professionals in their workplace. The outcome of the studies reveals that when health workers use face masks while attending to sick patients, they limit the risk of spreading diseases.
On the other hand, the same studies on the efficacy of face masks conducted on members of the public show that people who can't afford to be in confined spaces and hospital waiting rooms with others should wear a face mask to avoid the person-to-person spread of germs.
According to Dr. Sexton, Emory University School of Medicine's assistant professor, face masks are not foolproof, but they help to curb the spread of infectious particles when a person is coughing.
People who are not sick are advised not to rely solely on the use of face masks as a mean of preventing respiratory infections. This is according to Popescu, who noted that surgical masks only offer limited protection against contracting diseases. Furthermore, face masks can be used to prevent the spread of germs in closed quarters, on a train, and a packed waiting room, but they are never useful as a means of stopping the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
In the chapters of this book you will find useful tips on how to make your own medical mask:
What is a medical mask and why you need it
The 3 main types of medical masks
How to make a medical mask and how to wear it correctly
Medical masks disadvantages
Airborne diseases and protective measures against microorganisms
How close is close? Understanding close contact & how to deal with it
Natural ways to maintain a healthy immune system
And Much More
Health experts and CDC advise that proper and effective preventive measures are straightforward and only involve necessary everyday actions. These daily actions that can help to stop the spread of respiratory infections include washing of hands often, not touching feces, keeping your distance from sick people, and staying inside whenever you're sick.
Nowadays, internet stores and retailers around the world are gradually running out of face masks. That's why Homemade Medical Masks is the perfect guide you are looking for
Where most books about this delicate subject only provide approximative solutions, this book goes further, not only focusing on the overall context and giving a general overview but also taking the time to give all the needed details on how you can create by yourself an efficient mask.

Описание: A major crisis is happening in the world today. It all started in December 2019, when an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) began in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Despite all preventive steps taken by government and health agencies, rising death tolls seem inevitable. The confines of social distancing have driven society toward a sudden and rapid change in all aspects of life, and we are forced to embrace this change as the new "normal". Research conducted in these uncertain times allows us to identify, and analyze the challenges to finding effective strategies and solutions. This book provides current theoretical perspectives, studies, practices, and innovations that will contribute to society during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Southeast Asia and India. The current work can be used as a reliable reference, as rapid circulation of credible information, transparent case identification, data sharing, unhindered communication, and peer-reviewed research are most needed during this period of uncertainty.
