    • 4 Pages

    Although it is extremely rare that viruses transfer from the animal population to humans, there is evidence that it can happen. The avian influenza virus mainly affects the bird population but has been found in the human population as well. With the increasing outbreaks of avian influenza in birds, it is possible that the rate of human involvement will also continue to grow. Because of the potential risk to humans, it is important for the public to understand the avian influenza, how it is controlled, and its environmental impact. The bird flu also has an impact on lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and disease management. With an increased risk to the human population, the public health department plays a key role in reducing the threat of the avian influenza virus. Because the potential crossover to the human population, evidence-based intervention will help to ensure good quality of health.…

    The Spanish Influenza

    In today's world, we would be better suited against a similar epidemic to that of the Spanish Influenza; but it would honestly depend on that said hypothetical virus. Due to our rapidly growing cities and the increase in travel, the virus would be able to spread at a quick pace. If the virus is deadly and spreads quickly in a short amount of time, we would have a better chance of making an antibiotic for it. If the virus beings relatively harmless and slowly spreads, inconspicuously, and then begins to mutate more deadly strains, we would have a lesser chance of fighting it off. With our medical advances, we would be able to fight it off for a while. Although, sooner than later, the virus would begin to adapt to our vaccinations and an arms…

    The Spanish influenza plagued Alaska from 1918 through 1919.

The first cases were reported in October 1918 and by Halloween there were 200 cases in Ketchikan. Many smaller communities had few medically trained people like nurses or doctors. As a result, other public employees like school teachers and town officials worked medical care alongside volunteers. This was the case in Nome.…

    Flu Pandemics

    The Flu Pandemic of 1918 infected roughly 500 million people within its two years. Most of the victims who caught the flu developed pneumonia after inhaling the air of a previous infected person. Back in the early 1900s there were no mediations or vaccinations a person could take to prevent receiving the flu or to help treat the patients. There would not be another flu pandemic due to modern day advancements and technology. Thanks to the said technology, today it would only take two weeks to make a vaccination or vaccine for the flu. Present day we have set precautions to prevent the spread of germs that cause the flu: washing hands, not touching your face, eyes, and/or mouth, and stay home while the patient is sick with the flu. In 1918…
