https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0 Hi guys in this concept map it will be addressing what a pandemic is and using COVID 19 as an example, in addition to this it includes what needs to occur globally and the steps/ dimensions needed to end pandemics effectively and quickly. en-us 2021-10-16 06:25:53 UTC 2024-10-18 09:02:04 UTC hello@padlet.com katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820808818 Most of the behind the scenes work when dealing with pandemics are from the government and health officials, but this article talks about how the community should also be involved when dealing with pandemics and no government should ignore this importance. A lot of community services have been involved in a variety of issues before the pandemic, so locals tend to trust them more instead of some unknown officials and locals would express their voice through community services instead of directly contacting high-ranking officials. Moreover, incorporating existing community services will decrease the financial burden for the state as it could use modify some fo the original services to adapt to the pandemic.]]> 2021-10-16 06:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820808818 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820808929 Containing and controlling a pandemic and planning out a quick response to a pandemic are only a small portion of the picture. Other factors should be emphasized and addressed, by now it is apparent that pandemics are extremely detrimental to more than just the health of the population, but the economy and other institutions as well. That being said, it should be understood by populations that pandemics aren't easy to manage, especially when there are multiple domains at work trying to effectively collaborate - which as seen in America, isn't always the case. And this picture depicts the different factors such as education, vaccine development, equal rights, research funding. ]]> 2021-10-16 06:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820808929 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820809002 This picture depicts what needs to occur and how to combat/ control a pandemic when it occurs and to prevent future pandemics from happening. Many countries all need to initiate  a response with quickness and efficiency in order to  control the virus or disease from spreading further. With COVID, the response was slow and not as efficient therefore transmission and infection continue to grow. ]]> 2021-10-16 06:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820809002 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820809187 The image above represents the the purpose of social distancing during the COVID 19 pandemic, and thus the peoples role in ending pandemics. The goal of social distancing is to limit exposure by reducing face-to-face contact and preventing spread among people in community settings. COVID 19 virus is transmitted predominately by respiratory droplets generated when people cough, sneeze, sing, talk, or breathe.  The CDC recommends community use of masks, specifically non-valved multi-layer cloth masks, to prevent transmission of COVID-19. ]]> 2021-10-16 06:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820809187 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820809302 this image shows the importance of believing in science in order to successfully implement pandemic measures. Studies report that greater belief in science is tied to mask wearing which overall lowers COVID transmission. This brings me to emphasize the urgent need to eradicate fake news that dissuades mask wearing and other health measures by distorting real facts. The government needs to address the issue of fake news as it affects many global citizens who undoubtedly believe in whatever they read or hear at face value instead of questioning its credibility. ]]> 2021-10-16 06:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1820809302 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1821683086 2021-10-17 05:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1821683086 katiexn https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1821688625 This is a graph that displays a current pandemic we are going through right now, COVID 19. It illustrates the amount of deaths caused by the virus globally, and thus showing the gravity of the situation and a need for more of an effective and quicker response. It also compares how effective each country was at reducing and responding to COVID 19. ]]> 2021-10-17 05:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/katiexn/awyk7dgsko41gvn0/wish/1821688625
