Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of

Clay Shirky who wrote Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable (1993) argues that society doesn’t need newspapers society needs journalism to save society. Shirky supports this argument by giving a historical background to the problems newspapers face and how the problems have developed over time and the solutions society has came up with. The blogger concludes that in order for journalism to go farther new models must be created in place of past molds. Shirky directs this blog toward the current and future generations in attempt to motivate new models and methods of journalism.

1. Understanding epidemiologic concepts of the chain of transmission of organisms from host to victim, describe how EH could have been infected.

5. In what ways could the virus have been passed to other people from the time Monet left his house until he arrived at Nairobi hospital?

     When the satellite crashes to Earth, the special team of four people that the government had previously selected, was called to this building. They had samples of the organism, which was found by other people at the crash site sent to the building. They were going to use this sample to research the organism. They hoped to find out what it was and how it killed all of the people who lived in the small town in Arizona. Everything was going well with the research, until the virus started eating through plastic containers and the sterile suits that the workers were wearing. After time, almost all of the workers who were in the building had been killed by this virus. The only person that lived out of the five people who were on the selected team was Mark Hall.

Information to get you started is located in the case study section in the back of the book on page 134. Answer the three questions listed on page 135. (The first question begins with 1: Do you think that an infected …).

Billy is a 3 year old little boy who until recently has been a happy, playful child. He is presenting with malaise, fever, and what appears to be tiny, red blisters in his mouth and throat and beginning on his hands and feet that are painful to the touch. His mother states that he has felt bad for a couple of days and now doesn 't want to eat or drink. He is also complaining of a "tummy ache". He attends a daycare with 10 other children. His mother states that she had been "looking things up on on the internet" and thought Billy at first had the flu. Upon assessment, he is diagnosed with Coxsackie virus, also known as Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. As Billy 's mom discovered in her internet search, "Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease" is just one of many infections that can cause mouth sores. Often a search for the symptoms of basic medical conditions can lead people to content on more serious illnesses, therefore increasing their fears that something tragic is occuring. Billy 's mom was afraid that her son had not the flu, but something much more serious. His diagnosis of Coxsackie however, relieved her

“The whole problem with news on television comes down to this all the words uttered in an hour of news coverage could be printed on one page of a newspaper”. The average news cast is only twenty-two minutes long,and that's not nearly enough time to cover the days events.In Neil Postman’s essay “The News” Postman talks about the structure,content,and goals and results of a television news cast. The news can be compared to the theatres in terms of its structure. According to Postman, “Music takes us immediately into the realm of the symbolic, a world that is not to be taken literally.”

“What kind of virus would do that to a human being?” said Dr.Timmy. I need to have tests done on this person, and see what’s happening to him. “Hey, Larry we’re going to have some tests done with you, so we can find out what’s wrong with you. Is that ok?” asked Dr.Timmy. It’s 1880 and in the Mid West.

In an ever changing world we have seen the number and complexity of languages become reduced. In a Wall Street Journal article entitled What the World Will Speak in 2115, John H. McWhorter advocates for the world to see these changes as necessary and a way for communication worldwide to become more efficient and simplified. McWhorter shows how language has been streamlined for centuries as a way for citizens to adapt rather than viewed as an extinction of culture. Modern English is likely to become the dominant language worldwide but more so for the fact that it can be easily learned and is open to transformation with the times. Despite the fears of a world where lingual diversity is reduced, McWhorter suggests that there will still be variation to promote culture and communication with people from all backgrounds will be easier. The following is a summary and analysis of McWhorter’s main points describing the simplification of language. Following the summary of main points will be a hypothetical situation in what the world language could consist of 100 years from now.

Jonathan Bowden age 8 came in August 13, with slight respiratory problems. After taking a Multiplex PCR test (a way to amplify DNA in samples using primers and temperature-mediated DNA polymerase in a thermal cylinder), results came back high in a certain class of viruses: rhinovirus and enterovirus. The test doesnt tell us which is which, but knowing rhinovirus was more of a late fall/ winter problem. We were right in the midst of the enterovirus season. Although PEM is rare, its been on the rise, at least 500 children in 42 states contracted the virus in the past three months.

The concept that marriage can occur, endure, and succeed without the factor of love seems to be common in many other places in the world. “Who Needs Love! In Japan, Many Couples Don’t,” by Nicholas D. Kristof published in the New York Times in 1996 explores the aspects and success of loveless marriage in Japan beginning with Yuri Uemura of Omiya, Japan.

Farhad Manjoo (2013) argued in his aptly titled piece 'Breaking News is Broken', that living

From the sequence scientists were able to determine that virus probably began its life in an animal then mutated before picking up the power to infect people.
