Communicable Disease Paper
In the world today, there are a number of communicable diseases that rely on fluid exchange, contaminated substances, or that travel through contact from an infected carrier to someone even healthier. In this paper, a number of things will be addressed: describe the disease and discuss the efforts to control it; identify the environmental factors related to this disease; explain the influence of lifestyles, socioeconomic status, and disease management. The paper will also include: identifying the gaps and how I might link to other resources to meet needs that are not locally available; include recommendations to expand the communities’ programs if there are gaps; describe what the public health department is doing to reduce the threat of the disease; and to …show more content…
Most of the time a person’s throat, nose, and lungs are affected by the flu. The flu virus is easily spread through the contact from one person to another and can be very serious and sometimes resulting in death. The symptoms related to the flu consist of coughing, runny nose, sore throat, chills, fever, and tiredness. The flu is spread through tiny wet droplets due to coughing, sneezing, and even talking from a person who already has the flu. It can be spread from person to person even before they are sick or before they are aware that they have the virus. The best efforts used to control the flu virus would be to get vaccinated, practice good hygiene, and to follow the infection control
