For this assignment, you will assume the role of Dr. Hero, the Centers for Disease Control's emerging pathogens program director. You have been contacted by the CDC director, the World Health Organization director, and the President of the United States to get a grasp on rapidly increasing cases of an unknown origin. You have just returned from vacation in the Canary Islands and have not yet been apprised of this dire situation. You must respond quickly and efficiently to avert a potential pandemic and subsequent apocalypse. From this point of view, write to discuss how and what you will do, epidemiologically, clinically, and in terms of public health to combat the superweapon.
Select another learner's superweapon from their Unit 9 submission by visiting the Unit 10, Discussion 1 thread and selecting one learner's submission.
Address the following items in your research plan that will be submitted to the CDC, World Health Organization, and the President of the United States that outlines the nation's epidemiological response to Dr. Madness' rogue superweapon:
Agent Name
: Briefly summarize the superweapon you selected and its epidemiology. The most significant component of this section will center around what makes this agent epidemiologically difficult to address from a public health perspective.
Diagnostic Tests
: How will diagnosis occur in sick patients, both clinically and in the laboratory? Also discuss how technology and research and development will allow for enhancements to minimize downtime on diagnoses.
Treatment
: What will the tertiary public health prevention (treatment) be for the agent? Discuss potential for resistance or agent adaptation and sensitivity to the treatment. Will the treatment work in all populations? What costs will be expected if it is a new treatment being developed (in addition to the time spent in the pandemic developing a new treatment).
Clinical Treatment of Hospitalized Patients
: What control measures and universal precautions will be utilized? Will isolation factor in your strategy?
Epidemiological Control of Cases in Community
: How will you control the cases, contacts, and immediate environment of those who are not hospitalized?
Preventive Measures
: Is there an expectation of a vaccine to be developed? Are there other control measures to consider?
Epidemic Measures
: How does the plan change once cases outnumber public health and clinical resources to manage?
Disaster Implications
: Discuss social, psychological, economic, labor, transportation, and other aspects relevant to your plan.
International Measures
: What is the level and function of World Health Organization involvement? Discuss participation and assistance from health agencies from around the world.
After creating a plan and quelling the super bioweapon, write a summary report on your vision of the expected summary and convalescence of the agent release. How many people were sickened? How many countries were affected? On how many continen ...

1. For this assignment, you will assume the role of Dr. Hero, the
Centers for Disease Control's emerging pathogens program
director. You have been contacted by the CDC director, the
World Health Organization director, and the President of the
United States to get a grasp on rapidly increasing cases of an
unknown origin. You have just returned from vacation in the
Canary Islands and have not yet been apprised of this dire
situation. You must respond quickly and efficiently to avert a
potential pandemic and subsequent apocalypse. From this point
of view, write to discuss how and what you will do,
epidemiologically, clinically, and in terms of public health to
combat the superweapon.
Select another learner's superweapon from their Unit 9
submission by visiting the Unit 10, Discussion 1 thread and
selecting one learner's submission.
Address the following items in your research plan that will be
submitted to the CDC, World Health Organization, and the
President of the United States that outlines the nation's
epidemiological response to Dr. Madness' rogue superweapon:

will center around what makes this agent epidemiologically
difficult to address from a public health perspective.

for the agent? Discuss potential for resistance or agent
adaptation and sensitivity to the treatment. Will the treatment
work in all populations? What costs will be expected if it is a
new treatment being developed (in addition to the time spent in

International Measures
: What is the level and function of World Health Organization
involvement? Discuss participation and assistance from health
agencies from around the world.
After creating a plan and quelling the super bioweapon, write a
summary report on your vision of the expected summary and
convalescence of the agent release. How many people were
sickened? How many countries were affected? On how many
continents did the agent affect? How many deaths resulted? Was
it eradicated? Assess the social, psychological, and economic
impact of the pandemic. You will also want to dedicate part of
your conclusion discussing the lessons learned from this event
to prevent a future pandemic or intentional releases of another
superweapon. The total length for the Unit 10 assignment
should be approximately 6–8 pages in length, but some
responses may be longer.
Submit your Bioweapons and Epidemiology Part Two proposal
in the assignment area.
Please be sure to review the Bioweapons and Epidemiology Part
Two Scoring Guide for information on how this assignment is
3. graded.
