How Is Coronavirus Spread? Here's What You Should (and Shouldn't)
Worry About
by Jessica Migala
With more than 46,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States (and more
than 392,000 cases worldwide), it's clear that the novel coronavirus (aka COVID-19), along with
the anxiety surrounding it, isn't going anywhere soon.
Because the virus is so new (it's technically called SARS-CoV-2, FYI), lots of the fear
surrounding COVID-19 stems from how little we know about it. Luckily, experts do know some
pretty important things about the virus' transmission, or how the coronavirus does—and
doesn't—spread.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 is mainly
spread from person-to-person, usually via close contact (within six feet). It can spread through
physical contact like handshaking if someone's hands are contaminated with the virus. And it can
also spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes
(again, that's why the six-feet rule is handy: those droplets can travel that far, and land on another
person's mouth or nose, and can even be inhaled).
The virus may also spread from person-to-person through surfaces that have been
touched by those infected. "A sneezing or coughing person will cover their mouth, get it all over
their hand, and then touch something that you then touch," Robert Murphy, MD, an infectious
disease expert at Northwestern University, tells health.com. “The virus can then gain entry into
your body when you touch your own face,” he adds. That’s precisely why experts can only
preach basic disease-prevention measures, like washing hands correctly (20 seconds with soap
and water) and regularly, wiping down common surfaces, and staying away from sick people.
Lastly, another possible way coronavirus can spread between people is via fecal
transmission. According to recent research from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CCDC), those with confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (aka, COVID-19) have
live virus in stool specimens, meaning there's a possible fecal-oral route for the virus, as well.
Unfortunately, the only way to truly know if someone has COVID-19 is to test them;
that's because the symptoms of the illness look extremely similar to that of the common cold or
flu: cough, fever, and body aches. It's also important to know that.

Migrating Diseases
Our second ‘World in 2030’ foresight focuses on the growing threat from migrating diseases that are being enabled by the escalating implications of global warming.
The fast-developing view is that with 2oC of global warming probable and 4oC possible, health systems will struggle to address the growing impact of climate change. The increased spread of vector-borne diseases is joining poor air quality as a major public health threat.
More anticipate an extension of the reach and duration of tropical disease alongside the re-emergence of old infections. Certainly, warmer conditions and changes in precipitation are facilitating the expansion of disease-carrying vectors, such as mosquitoes and ticks. Dengue fever has joined malaria and Lyme’s on the list of fast-spreading diseases that are, most significantly, entering countries with little or no prior experience of them. To stem the tide, improved surveillance, enhanced HCP education and better public understanding are all being called for.
This foresight is one of 50 looking at the key issues for the next decade that are being shared throughout 2020.

COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The Coronavirus pandemic is presently the topic of discussion among various segments of global society. From the developed North to the developing South, within economically poor and rich countries, the huge rates of infection and resulting deaths from the pandemic has surpassed anything seen for a long time. Health systems and economies in both developed and developing countries are challenged in ways never imagined. The global efforts to mitigate the effects of the pandemic are moving at a very fast pace. Public health information is one of the strategies being used to ensure that persons are knowledgeable about the pandemic and adopt practices and protocols that will stem infections within the community. This study was undertaken to gauge the knowledge levels of journalists in the Nigerian capital city of Abuja and the impact of the knowledge on their attitudes and practices. The knowledge, attitudes and practice study model were used to gauge the interrelatedness of these variables among the study group. Logit regression tests, t-tests, chi-square and descriptive analysis were used to determine knowledge levels as well as what factors influenced attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 within the group. Overall, knowledge level amongst the study group was good and had a positive impact on attitude patterns. However, there was no high positive correlation between knowledge and practices. It is suggested that journalists in Nigeria must adhere to public health protocols in order to be able to engage in multi-platform public health information awareness publications which will sensitize the public into observing the COVID containment protocols.

U.S. Preps For Ebola Outbreak Cases May Exceed 100,000 By December “The Numbe...Hope Small
The article does not mention that a completely unrelated strain of ebola has broken out in the Congo. What are the chances of that?
Though news on the Ebola virus has been muted since two American health care workers were admitted to U.S.-based facilities last month, the deadly contagion continues to spread. According to the World Health Organization more than 40% of all Ebola cases thus far have occurred in just the last three months, suggesting that the virus is continuing to build steam.
Physicist Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University in Boston is one of several researchers trying to figure out how far Ebola may spread and how many people around the world could be affected. Based on his findings, there will be 10,000 cases by September of this year and it only gets worse from there.
This presentation showed the impact and the challenges of facing COVID-19 Pandemic and how the world becomes morbid, while the healthcare workforce tries to flatten the "curve".

As declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, Europe is currently affected by the new COVID-19 pandemic, which has penetrated many countries worldwide and caused thousands of deaths. The outbreak of the virus was first documented in China in December 2018, and the virus has spread to scores of countries, including the United States. Currently, COVID-19 is an issue of global concern, and research on developing an effective drug to combat the infection is ongoing. To prevent more cases of infection, information on the necessity for proper hygiene is being passed to the public through various mediums, and the bulk of this information emphasizes frequent hand washing, avoiding contact with infected people, and avoiding social gatherings.
Various COVID-19 resources have been created for EMS and other first responders, and information is constantly being updated. The Department of Public Health also recommends that EMS agencies should follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and keep abreast of new developments. The International Academies of Emergency Dispatch has also published the new novel coronavirus 2019 Emerging Infectious Disease Surveillance Tool for use by emergency medical dispatchers.

The first cases of COVID-19 pandemic were identified in people with pneumonia in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. It is first and foremost the most publicized pandemic, which has taken the lives of many people. It has thrown everyone into doubt and has created a collective moment of contemplation about the future. The clinical enlistment organization MedWorld of New Zealand offered for resigned and low maintenance specialists to help endeavors by the health care division and Government to battle the spread of COVID-19, in New Zealand. ( ) Starting in April, more than 20,000 tests have been done in Iraq in general (counting the Kurdistan Region), with 1202 of them turning out positive. Of those tests, half of the,m were finished by the Kurdish Ministry of Health, which implies that the other tests were finished by the Iraqi Ministry of Health. ( ) While KRG populace has been tried, just 0.05% of the remainder of the nation has been tried, along these lines featuring the conceivable difference between absolute positive case numbers between locales. Iraq is considered "particularly powerless against the plague due to being desolated" – by war and United Nations sanctions, and by partisan clash in the course of recent decades.
This paper primarily focuses on analyzing the accessible information through research papers, peer- reviewed and non-peer reviewed to understand the pandemic affecting two different countries like New Zealand- a developed country and Iraq- a developing country.

Abstract:
In the month of December, 2019 there was outbreak of pneumonia with unknown reason in Wuhan, China. Wuhan is the center of attention because of the respiratory disorder cause by a virus called Corona and also known as Novel COVID – 19. Validate the existence of this virus was also diagnosed in Wuhan. Then it start spreading all over the world due to the social gatherings. It ultimately take thousands of people towards death. Then after its huge destruction a final step of lockdown is taken up by the government of each country. The animal-to-human transmission was presumed as the main mechanism. It was concluded that the virus could also be transmitted from human-to-human, and symptomatic people are the most frequent source of COVID-19 spread. The virus-host interaction and the evolution of the epidemic, with specific reference to the times when the epidemic will reach its peak.
Introduction:
There is scanty knowledge on the actual pandemic potential of this new SARS-like virus. It might be speculated that SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is grossly underdiagnosed and that the infection is silently spreading across the globe. There are no comparable analogies to corona virus. This virus is not like any of the other epidemiological threats that have emerged in recent decades; it is less fatal but much more contagious.
Distribution of cases by the following:
· Time: The outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported on December 31, 2019.
· Place: the epidemiology of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in a remote region of China, far from Wuhan, we analyzed the epidemiology of COVID-19 in Gansu Province
Explanation of the research topic (corona virus):
As the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is rapidly expanding in China and beyond, with the potential to become a world-wide pandemic, real-time analyses of epidemiological data are needed to increase situational awareness and inform interventions. The current most likely hypothesis is that an intermediary host animal has played a role in the transmission. Identifying the animal source of the 2019-nCoV would help to ensure that there will be no further future similar outbreaks with the same virus and will also help understanding the initial spread of the disease.
Numerator (cases of corona virus):
Deaths divided the total of deaths plus recoveries. In early days because of the exponential increase new cases significantly outpace recoveries. You’re dividing by new cases but the numerator hasn’t had a chance to catch up to the death toll yet to be associated with those cases. If you look at COVID 19 on Feb 17, you get the 2% number only if dividing by total cases. If you look vs recovered cases, it’s 13%.
The WHO’s fatality percentage, announced March 17, 2020, is based simply on the number of deaths g.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

California Declares Public Health Emergency amid Deadly Tuberculosis Outbreak
1. California Declares Public Health
Emergency amid Deadly
Tuberculosis Outbreak
(Source-Hindustan-Times)
An Tuberculosis outbreak within a California hotel housing homeless individuals has sparked concern
among health officials, resulting in the death of one person and the infection of 14 others. The city health
department in Long Beach declared a public health emergency in response to the alarming situation.
City officials announced that the Tuberculosis outbreak is currently contained within a specific population,
with the risk to the general public deemed low. However, the affected individuals face significant barriers
to accessing care, including homelessness, mental health issues, substance abuse, and underlying medical
conditions.
Screening and Treatment Efforts
In response to the Tuberculosis outbreak, health authorities have initiated extensive screening measures,
estimating that approximately 170 individuals may have been exposed to the disease. Screening involves
symptom assessments, blood or skin tests, and chest X-rays to identify potential cases.
As the number of cases and contacts is expected to rise, health officials have emphasized the importance of
prompt diagnosis and treatment. Individuals found to have active TB disease or latent TB infection will be
provided with appropriate medical care to prevent further transmission.
Privacy Concerns and Preventive Measures
2. To safeguard patient privacy and comply with healthcare regulations, the name of the affected hotel has
not been disclosed to the public. The facility, which is a private establishment, is not affiliated with the
City of Long Beach.
Tuberculosis Outbreak is primarily transmitted through airborne particles, typically through coughing,
sneezing, or close contact with infected individuals. While not as contagious as COVID-19, TB poses a
serious public health risk and requires prompt intervention to prevent further spread.
Rising TB Cases in the United States
The recent TB outbreak in California comes amid a concerning trend of increasing TB cases across the
United States. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number
of TB cases in 2023 reached the highest level in a decade.
Between 2022 and 2023, TB cases rose from 8,320 to 9,615, representing a significant increase of 1,295
cases. This upward trend in TB infections underscores the ongoing importance of vigilant surveillance,
early detection, and comprehensive public health interventions to combat the disease.
