Containing the COVID 19 Pandemic in Nigeria A Reflection on Government Action...ijtsrd
The outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic led to the lockdown of the global economy in the early part of the year 2020. In line with the measures recommended by the World Health Organization WHO , countries also introduced further mechanisms based on their respective unique environment to contain the virus. This paper reflected on the citizens’ reactions to government measures in containing the COVID 19 pandemic in Nigeria. Specifically, it reviewed the government’s actions towards containing the virus and how they influenced the citizens’ response. The study was qualitative and focused between March and September 2020. Relying on secondary data that were analyzed through content analysis, we triangulated the Persuasive Communication Theory and Resistance Theory to interrogate the governments actions and the citizens’ reactions. We argued that the governments approach towards containing the virus contributed to i the doubt on the existence of the virus in the country held by some of the citizens, ii the lack of strict observation of precautionary measures and safety regulations, iii the seeming non co operation between the government and the citizens in containing the virus. The implications of this relationship pose challenges for future epidemics, pandemics, and development in the country and could serve as a premise for further research.

The word Corona was not so popular until late in 2019 when it gained the popularity in the entire world community and quickly became the central point of the year 2020 history. The pandemic first appeared in China in November 2019 where in March 2020, it was already present in almost every country. In Uganda, the first case was discovered in March 2020. This global darkness-like period imposed the closure of education system, sports events suspension, restriction of movements and mass gathering that lead to temporal stagnation of both public and private sectors. In March and April 2020, there were lockdowns in most of the country. This was the time for high rate infections and deaths. Emerging medical trials for the pandemic treatment were only the weapon to save life of positive cases until December 2020 when vaccines against COVID-19 were approved. As of early April 2021, the summary of total number of cases is 135 million, 3 million deaths, and 159 million vaccinated persons. In Uganda alone, the total number of cases was rotating to around 41 thousand, 337 deaths and 150 thousand vaccinated persons. The extension of total details on COVID-19 require extra energy, time and resources. It is however important that our generation and the coming generation be educated about the COVID-19 pendemic as part of the world history. This book comes as a compilation of details on COVID-19 pandemic educational material. Hope it will contribute globally to the awareness of COVID-19 pandemic.
A Perspective Approach of Community Medicine in Corona Virus Disease COVID 19ijtsrd
Coronavirus disease COVID 19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS CoV 2 coronavirus, which has spread rapidly across the world. The World Health Organization WHO proclaimed the COVID 19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on global health systems, as well as economic and social development. The rate of transmission is relatively high.As a result, regardless of vaccine history or previous infection, the CDC recommends that anyone with any signs or symptoms of COVID 19 be checked. Everyday Preventive Actions, as well as having the Covid 19 Vaccine when it is safe, will protect you and your loved ones. Prof. Dr. Anup Kumar Das | Dr. Humani Sharma | Dr. Hitarth Mehta "A Perspective Approach of Community Medicine in Corona Virus Disease (COVID 19)" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd43677.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comother-scientific-research-area/other/43677/a-perspective-approach-of-community-medicine-in-corona-virus-disease-covid-19/prof-dr-anup-kumar-das
The Coronavirus Disease – 2019 (COVID-19) is officially now a pandemic and not just a public health emergency of international concern as previously labelled. Worldwide, the new coronavirus has infected more than 4.9 million people and leaving more than 300,000 people dead in 188 countries. As countries of the world get locked down in an effort to contain the widespread of the virus, experts are concern about the global impacts of the pandemic on individuals, countries and the world at large. Millions of people are currently under quarantine across the globe. Many countries have responded by proclaiming a public health emergency, closed their borders and restrict incoming flights from high risk countries. This has grossly affected the travel plan of many. Several international programs, conferences, workshops and sporting activities are either postponed or cancelled. As the number of confirmed cases continues to escalate across the globe, hospitals seems to be running out of medical supplies, hospital spaces and personnel. Health workers are being overwhelmed by the numbers of people requesting for testing and treatment. Many of such health workers have been infected with the coronavirus and even lost their lives since the fight against COVID-19 started. Public health experts are also concerned about the huge medical wastes coming from the hospitals at this time and the adverse effects associated with improper management of such medical wastes, both at the hospital and community levels. The pandemic has also impacted negatively on the global economy. There have been serious crises in the stock market, with gross fall in the price of crude oil resulting in inflation and economic hardship among the populace. Many are currently out of job and as a result, the level of crime, protest and violence have continued to escalate in different parts of the world. The deaths of loved ones due to the coronavirus has left many emotionally traumatized. Nigeria, like other African countries is not spared of the ravaging effects of the pandemic, even as the government take strict measures to contain the virus. No doubt, this is very challenging, but the country is capable of surmounting the virus with the needed help from her international partners and cooperation from the citizenry. But if we as a people, remain complacent and continue with business as usual, without taking measures to flatten the curve, the disease will escalate too quickly beyond our capacity to handle and our health system will be overwhelmed and may collapse eventually. We cannot therefore afford to be complacent in our response to containing the pandemic.
Correlation between Human Origin and the Severity of COVID19ijtsrd
It has been reported that the severity of coronavirus infectious disease COVID 19 is due to several factors such as age and the presence or absence of chronic disease. Furthermore, it has been reported that genetic factors affect the severity of COVID 19. A recently published study of the COVID 19 Host Genetics Initiative suggests that genetic manifolds in the region located on chromosome 3 may increase the risk of the severity of COVID 19.

COVID education and vaccination presentation for high school and middle school students. High school students in the inner city tend to display a high level of vaccine hesitancy. With students assimilating much false and confusing information on social media, our high school principal asked us to produce an advisory presentation to help students overcome vaccination hesitancy and to educate them on COVID. We endeavored to provide truthful information that presents both the positives and risks of COVID vaccination. The authors of this presentation have determined to allow this presentation to be downloaded and used by educators in public, charter or private schools without modification for the purpose of educating students about COVID and COVID vaccination. Statistics in this presentation will be updated at least monthly.

COVID-19 A pandemic which shook the world anirudhkkr
This is a case study analysis on the present pandemic "Coronavirus" and the facts and figures are as on date-25th may.2020.
I have made this case study which was is a semester examination project.Do check it out!
COVID 19 is a contagious disease caused by a betacoronavirus, which began in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Until now, this new illness has affected more than 6 million people worldwide, and has claimed more than 300 000 human lives. Governments around the globe were faced with the coronavirus pandemic crisis and designed strategies to slow or halt viral transmission. Measures undertaken included enforcing countrywide lockdowns, banning mass gatherings, closing schools and businesses and halting international travel.
Emergency management 11
Emergency Management
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.

Hi, How are you today? It is workers day today. I am presenting you a new exhibit of the Microsoft Powerpoint based on the new narrative on covid 19. I am be too long by saying this new sets of slide it taking the posture that there was several crisis in covid 19 health crisis. In order to understand these 5 sets (Finacial crisis, media crisis, covid crisis, illness crisis...) of crises. Mainly, it is important to break down covid 19 into an irrational crisis and a rational crisis/ Irrational which is based on the social media and the finance, and the rational one, is the people illnesses and the use of mathematical modeling to cut costs. Beside, you can retrieve a second aspect of risk, which is the world communities are dealing with risk at global levels. Think Global, and act locals. They are existing frameworks, which are new. Sendai was created in 2015 up to 2030 to replace the old framework of disaster reduction 2005-2015. Did we use it, while it was designed to solve the risk of disasters based on 2 million of deaths and almost $5 billions in costs: health costs and business recovery costs.? Have a look at the argumentations and debate. If you have to re-manage the covid 19 crisis. Would you make the same management? Additionally, it is showing how people irrational behaviors can create a global contagion. When the Precautionary Principle, which was looking for information in order to counter the fakenews. There is an overlapping aspect of covid 19. Irrationality created a market falls in the world in the first Quarter of 2020. What is or not linked to covid19. I think it was directly linked to covid 19. However, there was no instructions about the relationships between covid 19 and Market. Ultimately, my slide presentation tended to demonstrate that there was no clear if not at all linkages between the Chinese covid and the illnesses as it was presented by the media and experts in a Descartres analysis. As if covid 19 was able to travel like people from China to the West. Have a good reading, friends. BIRD CEO
COVID-19: Truths, Myths & Possible Consequences.Dito Bukia
This presentation provides all the necessary information about COVID-19: general facts about coronavirus, how it spreads, how it affects the human, how to prevent infection and what are the possible pandemic scenarios.
The SARS-Cov2 is highly pathogenic and has spread very rapidly.
Here we have tried to present an overview of the prevailing COVID-19 situation in terms of health impact, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, emergency responses and preparedness.
The research literature is growing rapidly and hopefully it will help in finding an effective vaccine (many in trials) and the best practice for the management and treatment of symptomatic cases.
The health, social and economic impacts would be high by this global killer.
We should be able to learn lessons and hopefully we will be more prepared for any such event in future.
THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE ENJOYMENT OF LEGAL FREEDOMSAkashSharma618775
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most
people infected with the COVID-19 virus experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without
requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. The disease was
discovered in December 2019. On 31st December 2019, a series of pneumonia cases of unknown cause was detected
in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). COVID-19 has caused States to restrict movements, closed down schools,
major markets and churches and thus the virus has serious impact on the enjoyment of legal freedoms. Covid-19
has very devastating effects on economic activities generally and thus the urgent need to reduce the spread but the
situation in Cameroon is difficult to handle as the negative impacts of the virus are further compounded by lack of
support from the government to boost economic activities like supporting small businesses with funding and
reducing taxes for big enterprises so as to reduce costs and encourage production. The general objective of this
paper is to critically examine the negative impact of COVID-19 on the enjoyment of legal freedoms. One of the
main findings of the paper is that Cameroon as a State committed to the protection of its citizens’ rights has
ratified treaties protecting human rights of people including legal freedoms and thus to eradicate the impact
COVID-19 has on these legal freedoms, the work strongly recommends that as disease outbreaks are not likely to
disappear in the near future, proactive international actions are required to not only save lives but also protect
economic prosperity.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Men are at a significantly higher risk of having severe
symptoms and dying when compared to women. Men are at
a significantly higher risk of having severe symptoms and
dying when compared to women. Medical experts have long
known men can be more susceptible to viruses than women.
Women generally tend to have stronger immune responses
to viruses, though the reason for that is still up for debate.
Genetic and hormonal differences may play a role, while
environmental factors could also contribute to a stronger
immune system. Still, while women tend to have stronger
immune systems, over 80 percent of all autoimmune
diseases are attributed to women. These occur when an
immune response is so strong, it targets and deteriorates
organs in the body.

Abstract
In a phylogenetic network analysis of 160 complete human
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
Cov-2) genomes, we find three central variants
distinguished by amino acid changes, which we have
named A, B, and C, with A being the ancestral type
according to the bat outgroup coronavirus. The A and
C types are found in significant proportions outside
East Asia, that is, in Europeans and Americans. In
contrast, the B type is the most common type in East
Asia, and its ancestral genome appears not to have
spread outside East Asia without first mutating into
derived B types, pointing to founder effects or
immunological or environmental resistance against this
type outside Asia. The network faithfully traces routes of
infections for documented coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) cases, indicating that phylogenetic networks
can likewise be successfully used to help trace
undocumented COVID-19 infection sources, which can
then be quarantined to prevent recurrent spread of the
disease worldwide.
