Geog of disease year 11 PIP: by Lisa Steciuk https://padlet.com/list4/g8foy9mvtjg6w29m What factors cause communicable diseases such as Covid-19 to spread. What are some possible ways to prevent the spread of diseases such as Covid-19? en-us 2021-06-24 03:54:10 UTC 2021-06-24 07:13:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Sharlene https://padlet.com/list4/g8foy9mvtjg6w29m/wish/1623150262 How diseases spread:
  • Physical contact with an infected person e.g. HIV
  • Contact with a contaminated surface e.g. salmonella
  •  Bites from insects / animals e.g. malaria
  • Travel through air e.g. tuberculosis

Human Barriers:
  • Quarantine
  • Lack of legal entry (e.g. no HIV patients are allowed to enter Malaysia, although there is no requirement to be tested before entry)
  • School closure to avoid spread
  • Personal protection e.g. malaria nets and practicing safe sex using barrier contraception
Physical Barriers:
  • Sea and ocean prevent the spread of disease between people
  • Mountains and other inhospitable environments prevent the spread of disease by vectors

- contact of non- human things such as water and other animals
- air borne diseases
- eating something

Barriers:
physical
- temperature
- remoteness

human
- lockdown + quarantining
- sanitation + washing hands
- wearing masks
- avoid traveling or going to high risk areas]]> 2021-06-24 06:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/g8foy9mvtjg6w29m/wish/1623150548 Alexis https://padlet.com/list4/g8foy9mvtjg6w29m/wish/1623150668 How diseases spread: 
- Physical contact with infection people 
- Bites from animals or insects 
- Contaminated surfaces 
- Through the air 

Barriers:
- Personal protection 
- Cleaning frequently touched surfaces 
- Adopting behaviours such as washing hands, social distancing ]]> 2021-06-24 06:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/g8foy9mvtjg6w29m/wish/1623150668 Samuel https://padlet.com/list4/g8foy9mvtjg6w29m/wish/1623151242 Globalisation plays a part in the spread of diseases, most notably the ease of international travel has allowed viruses native to an area spread globally.

Barriers:
- Social distancing
- Closure of borders
- Individual sanitation

Human barriers
  • Quarantine
  • Lack of legal entry (eg. mandatory testing for covid-19 to be let in to a country)
  • School closure to avoid spread
  • Personal protection e.g. malaria nets and practicing safe sex using barrier contraception


 


Physical barriers
These largely limit human movement, but can also limit the spread of the carrier of the disease, such as mosquitos. 
  • the sea and oceans
     prevent spread of disease between people
  • Mountains and other inhospitable environments prevent the spread of disease by carriers e.g. mosquitos can't cross deserts
