Pandemics are natural occurring-- usually. However, mankind has also used biological warfare since the advent of war. Biological weapons are also a favorite of terrorists and what is on the horizon is truly frightening. Accidents also happen. How do you prepare for and deal with this event?
Chemical Weapons, Accidents, and How To Survive ThemBob Mayer
We all live under the threat of a chemical disaster; whether by intent or accident. A chemical weapon is the easiest of the weapons of mass destruction for a terrorist to make. Chemical accidents happen all the time, whether it be a storage area, a factory, a train derailment or a truck accident. What should you do if it happens near you?

A Worldwide pandemic-- the source? Man-madeBob Mayer
How do you solve the problem of scarce resources and over-population with one devastating act?
Publishers Weekly: “The action is crisp with a great job of establishing a sense of reality—and real danger—by mixing current fears about killer diseases with a clear-eyed view of the Army.”
“Microbial forensics” has been defined as “a scientific discipline dedicated to analyzing evidence
from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, or inadvertent microorganism/toxin release for attribution
purposes” (Budowle et al., 2003). This emerging discipline is still in the early stages of
development and faces substantial scientific challenges to provide a robust suite of technologies
for identifying the source of a biological threat agent and attributing a biothreat act to a particular
person or group. The unlawful use of biological agents poses substantial dangers to individuals,
public health, the environment, the economies of nations, and global peace. It also is likely that
scientific, political, and media-based controversy will surround any investigation of the alleged
use of a biological agent, and can be expected to affect significantly the role that scientific
information or evidence can play. For these reasons, building awareness of and capacity in
microbial forensics can assist in our understanding of what may have occurred during a biothreat
event, and international collaborations that engage the broader scientific and policy-making
communities are likely to strengthen our microbial forensics capabilities. One goal would be to
create a shared technical understanding of the possibilities—and limitations—of the scientific
bases for microbial forensics analysis._ NCBI

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
2. What are viruses?
Tiny organisms, 100 times smaller than a single
bacteria cell.
They are an infective agent that typically consist of
a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat that is able
to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Thus, by itself, the virus is not alive. It needs a host.
Deadly Viruses
3. When a virus infects a host, it invades the cells and
take them over in order to carry out its own life
process of multiplication and growth.
An infected cell produces viral particles instead of
doing its normal functions.
Deadly Viruses
5. Have half of all human deaths in history been
caused by malaria?
No one quite knows.
Roughly 110 billion humans have lived in the past
52,000 years.
Death rates from malaria were much higher in the
past, but it still kills close to one million a year.
Malaria
7. The Black Death killed between 75 to 200 million
people in the years 1346-1353.
Plague
8. A pandemic is an epidemic of infectious disease
that spreads across a large region; usually multiple
continents.
Pandemic
9. Experts believe the odds of a worse pandemic than
COVID-19 within the next fifty years are very high.
Estimates are that:
1 billion people would get sick.
165 million will die
There will be a global recession and depression
Pandemic
10. Why are the odds of a pandemic high?
1. Global population has increased dramatically.
2. People are moving to crowded, central locations:
cities.
3. World-wide travel is much faster and more
common.
Pandemic
11. Infectious Diseases
I’ve used infectious diseases as central to
the plot in several of my books.
I first became interested in this after reading
The Hot Zone back in 1995. The book is still
well worth reading.
14. There are three types of weapons of mass
destruction:
Nuclear, Biological and Chemical.
Most of us are unaware of biological
weapons.
15. Biological warfare is the use of infectious
agents or toxins to incapacitate or kill
humans, plants or animals.
Bioterrorism is the same, except not state-
sponsored.
Biological Warfare
16. As long as there has been warfare, humans
have used biological warfare in various forms.
Biological Warfare
17. The problem with biological weapons
has always been that they are
indiscriminate.
They kill the side employing them as
effectively as the side they are used
against.
Biological Warfare
18. What is on the
horizon, and probably
already developed in
secret, are genetic
weapons, which are
targeted toward
specific ethnicities
and/or genotypes.
The implications of
such weapons are
staggering.
I explored this in the
book to the right.
Genetic Weapons
19. Consider how the USS Roosevelt was made
combat ineffective by one infected sailor.
Imagine deliberate infections of crew members
while on shore leave— an inexpensive way to
negate a multi-billion dollar, powerful weapon
20. What To Do?
Depending on where you live and how
much you travel will determine your
chances of getting infected.
If you live in an urban setting, the
chances are higher.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
21. What To Do?
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue
when you cough or sneeze. Throw it away after
use.
Use a mask if you become aware that people
are getting sick.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
22. What To Do?
Wash your hands with soap and water. Use
disinfection.
One curious fact brought up in Contagion was
the number of times we touch our faces with
our hands.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
23. What To Do?
A mask is essential if you must go out.
Since COVID-19 most people accept
this. However make sure you have the
right mask. An N-95 is preferred. If you
buy a KN-95, check to make sure it’s
not one of many cheap, ineffective
models on the market.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
24. What To Do?
Stay away from the sick people. That sounds easy,
but what if you’re a first responder or a health care
provider?
Stay away from crowds.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
25. What To Do?
If it’s a true pandemic, it’s not likely that a hospital
is a place to go as it will quickly become
overwhelmed with the sick and dying.
While COVID-19 has been bad, most experts agree
we haven’t seen the “big one” yet.
The bottom line is to stay aware and isolate yourself
and your team as quickly as possible.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
26. What To Do?
If there is a vaccination; get it.
I would stock up on N-95s masks now that they are
widely available.
Biological
Warfare/Pandemic
