Personal Travel Should Not Be Limited

The airline industry is one of the largest global industries in the world. Airline companies in the airline industry have gone through challenging obstacles in the past decade. Many changes have occurred within the industry and increased regulations have driven up cost for the industry. The attacks on 9/11 left the industry in shock when planes were used in terrorist attacks in the United States. These attacks changed the mentality of the industry and shifted the focus towards safety. Safety was also a major concern in the industry with the breakout of SARS in 2003 and the H1N1 flu in 2009. The airlines had to ensure that public health and safety of the travelers were

According to David Robson a reported for BBC disease has always been a problem because, “we’re in closer contact with other people who may be carrying germs. We’re more likely to take public transport, for instance – and as we’re pressed against sputtering commuters, misting up the windows with their coughs and sneezes, it’s easy to see how this could send us over a tipping point that allows flu (and other diseases) to spread through a population.” Due to the amount of people who are living together and for the amount of people who are taking public transport there is an increase in how many people who are getting sick and staying in constant poor health. Close quarters aren’t helping with this either especially with larger families that are in smaller apartments and are constantly with each other. Another problem that is causing poor health is lack of health classes, kids and young adults are not being taught properly by their

The health officer in the United States called the quarantine public health officer with this information. The quarantine health officer began a flight contact investigation since there were several people the refugee could have come in contact with the day of air travel and knowing that measles is highly contagious they were trying to stop an epidemic from occurring. The passengers’ information was received as well as the seating plan from that day. Approximately thirty-five passengers sat around the refugee and were considered in contact range. There were also thirty refugees traveling from Malaysia to some area within the United States. These refugees were considered for exposure as well. Since the outbreak was not caught for a couple of days, everyone was already at their destination by that time. A total of twelve different states could possibly have been infected by

Another common entry requirement in certain parts of the world its of the world are vaccinations. To some people, vaccinations are simply a necessary evil in the process of travelling abroad and one which a lot of people are happy to accept as part of their journey if it means

The pandemic struck the world and infected 1/3 of earth’s human population, killing over 50 million humans. The world’s top doctors have never witnessed anything of this killing magnitude besides the bubonic plague of 1348 but the transmissibility is of nothing they’ve ever seen in their lifetime or of recorded history. People abruptly became aware of the importance of health, and need of medicine and cleanliness.

Infectious epidemics and pandemics have happened all through mankind's history. “They remain the prime cause of death worldwide and will not be conquered during our lifetimes.” The flu of 1918 was one of the deadliest epidemics in history. “It infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide–about one-third of the planet’s population at the time–and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims. More than 25 percent of the U.S. population became sick, and some 675,000 Americans died during the pandemic.” No one knew how the virus spread, there were no antibiotics to fight it, and no flu shots to prevent it. In the final year of World War I, it struck terror in the hearts of people all across Europe and left more death in its wake than the combined military actions of the combatants. “It killed more Americans in a few months than World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the

This means that the travel and tourism industry needs to make sure that they develop scanning technique or some way of identifying if someone has a superbug and then have adequate quarantine places in place in order to prevent the superbugs from spreading from other countries. They would need these provisions to be in place at all ports and airports and

In a health care organization, it is important that the organization’s mission, philosophies, and ethics are followed through properly. . With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is no different. . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “mission is to protect people’s health and to support the quality of life in humans by prevention and control of diseases, injuries, and disabilities” (About CDC, 2010, page or paragraph number with quotes). With the organization's mission, philosophies, and ethics it is important that everyone’s health is protected and proper prevention of diseases, illnesses, and disabilities are given to the public in a timely manner. In this paper, the members of Team A will “describe

“Certainly, the potential for biological disaster has come to the notice of terrorists and Al Qaeda” (Engler 2003). Before an illegal immigrant is able to get a visa for entry they must pass a healthcare screening and they must also show they have valid vaccinations. Health screening is the only way to achieve safety from illegal immigrants for Americans.

Flying out or in of the country or even within has become more challenging since the 9/11 attacks. It takes more time to get through security which makes for a much earlier arrival time for those flying. Most airlines require an arrival two hours prior to their departure time. Many Americans have stopped flying altogether because of the hassle of airport security and out of fear. Before the attacks, airport security was more relaxed. Basic security measures were in place, but it was much different than today. Before the attacks, security screenings were set in place by the private companies, many which were outsourced to different security companies. Passengers were allowed to bring certain size blades, scissors, baseball bats and even sewing needles. All of these items have since been banned as a result of the attacks. Since the attacks, the Transportation Security Administration was created and the security screenings are now regulated by the federal government. Through TSA, passengers bags are checked for banned items, they screened for suspicious behavior, the explosive detection system was implemented, and the full body scanner is now used to check passengers. According to Rick Seaney, “Our security ought to stop anything these days, stringent as it is: We've gone from the metal detectors of the 1970s to post-9/11 body scans and enhanced pat downs. Cockpit doors are now fortified, and the sky

We as people examine the impact of post-9/11 airport security measures on air travel in the U.S. Using five years of data on passenger volume, we evaluate the effects of the implementation of baggage screening and the federalization of passenger screening on the demand for air travel. These two congressionally mandated measures are the most visible changes in airport security following the 9/11 attacks. Exploiting the phased introduction of security measures across airports, we find that baggage screening reduced passenger volume by about five percent on all flights, and by about eight percent on flights departing from

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this narrative review is to discuss what influenza is? And what the ethical and morality of flu vaccinations. This discussion is grounded whether or not flu vaccinations are necessary for individuals.

Vaccinations help keep the risk of illness down in many ways. For example, when children attend school, they are required to have certain shots before entering. If every child is vaccinated properly, the rate of sick children will decrease. Many people travel a lot. Research shows that we shouldn’t be vaccinated against diseases that aren’t in our country. However, they are wrong because if people are traveling with their children to another country, they are more than likely to bring a disease back home. If we are already vaccinated prior to the incident, it will help reduce the chances of other children becoming ill. If we can help keep our children safe, we should do so by any means necessary.

The world has experienced a total of four pandemics within the twentieth century. These pandemics, as horrific and deadly as they are, have brought so much more positive advances to our health care system and how we prepare for biological threats. Although we are in the twenty-first century and we have advanced so far in healthcare, there is still the possibility of a deadly pandemic.

It is surely agreed by all parties that disease’s very existence is condemned and despised. Disease burdens pain and uncomfortability upon its victims. Some people can even experience an unfortunate and early death, when illnesses comes knocking on their doorsteps. Why are we allowing evil illnesses to take the lives of innocent people; something needs to be done.
