Prophet Abidemi Outbreak

An investigation was necessary to find the cause of the outbreak, and how to stop it from continuing to spread. The campus clinic was interested in testing the following nine patients: Sue, Jill, Anthony, Wanda, Maggie, Maria, Arnie, Marco, and Alvin. All of the students have similar symptoms and agreed to being tested except for Alvin.

The cause of this disaster was racism towards Jewish people. Elie Wiesel’s father said, “Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us. Todas anything is allowed. Anything is possible even those crematories”(33). A lot of people knew what was

In my opinion, yes, the disaster could have been prevented. If the buildings or even the interior was made out of fire there wouldn’t be the spread of fire. If the lot sizes in poorer districts were a little bigger the citizens at the time wouldn’t stuff so much buildings in the lot. If the citizens of the time put things that cause fire in the different buildings there wouldn’t be factors that caused the disaster. But, in the end we realize that we humans aren’t perfect.

Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America is my chosen book to for the class. Following excerpts and reviews, the book challenges the darker side of medications and what they exactly do to patients. The number of mentally ill has been highest in the past two decades, and it not only plagues adults, but children as well. One would think that the advancements in medicine would prevent this statistic going up, but it has not. Robert Whitaker investigates into the matter and explains the dangers of the medications, such as anti-depressants.

The Black Death was one of the biggest epidemics in the world that caused more than 75 to 200 millions deaths world wide. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30 to 60% of Europe's total population. This may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million in the 14th century. What is the Plague and how is it caused? The Bubonic plague is a caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis that is commonly found in rats that carry the bacteria. When the rats dies fleas come to feed on the rats then jump onto humans infecting them with this disease. The human effected will start to develop buboes, large egg or apple sized tumor looking sacs that ooze pus and blood when cut open. It is said that the Black Death takes up to three stages

Finally, ending our human angle, we have the person who knows something we don't. Like those we've already mentioned, they believe that these events were something that needed to happen. Unlike those people, they have scientific backing to

Around the late 1300’s something big came into Europe, something that would drastically change the country for the better. The plague, also known as ‘black death”, killed almost half of the European population. This led to economic depression. Merchants and traders had fewer people to sell goods to, so a lot of money was lost. At least 75 million people on three continents perished due to the painful, highly contagious disease. The Black Death originated in China or Central Asia and was spread to Europe by fleas and rats that resided on ships and along the Silk Road . The Black Death killed millions in China, India, Persia (Iran), the Middle East, the Caucasus, and North Africa. To harm the citizens during a siege in 1346, Mongol armies may have thrown infected corpses over the city wall of Caffa, on the Crimean peninsula of the Black Sea. Italian traders from Genoa were also infected and returned home in 1347, introducing the Black Death into Europe. From Italy, the disease spread to France, Spain, Portugal, England, Germany, Russia, and Scandinavia. Depopulation and shortage of labor hastened changes already inherent in the rural economy; the substitution of wages for labor services was accelerated, and social stratification became less rigid. Psychological morbidity affected the arts; in religion, the lack of educated personnel among the clergy gravely reduced the intellectual vigor of the church. Once the plague came to an end in the 15th century, a new movement in art

The Black Death has affected this world for many years. The first recorded outbreak of the plague was in central Asia. From there, the plague spread via the Silk Road, eventually reaching Africa, Europe, and other parts of Asia. The first major pandemic was called the Justinian plague, recorded in the 6th century during the Byzantine Empire. The plague would appear to come and go throughout the ages, wreaking havoc where it could. The next major pandemic occurred in Europe, where it was named the Black Death. This is the most infamous pandemic because it wiped out about 60% of Europe’s population, which was economically devastating.

All around the world there are different mysteries and enigmas. Ranging from solved to unsolved. All depending on where you are. Though there are some mysteries that span the world, enigmas that are known to everyone. But how could they be known to everyone? The internet! A constant web connecting everything and everyone together. With it being so huge and popular, you must assume there are some unexplainable things. To start, an enigma is someone or something that is difficult to understand or explain. Such as cryptic messages and strange videos.

The palace that held thousands of people was destroyed by the fire. An estimated 30,000-60,000 people were killed. People arguing about whether this was an act of God or if it was a natural disaster. (Scientific America).The famous Enlightenment author, Voltaire, wrote about and mocked the theory that everything happens for the best; in his story of Candide. Voltaire proved that he wrote the story of Candide in influence to the Lisbon Earthquake by writing a complete chapter about it. The chapter, Chapter five it gives in detail what they felt, what they saw and gives us the two different types of theories. As you read the story. you can visualize what they saw and feel the emotion through how it is written. You can see the two types of people when Pangloss said “ What can be sufficient reason of this phenomenon?” to which Candide replies “The Last Judgement is here.” This quote is important because it shows a change in Candide. Throughout the story Candide is considered to be an optimist. This one line shows that he is genuinely concerned for

Yellow fever is a viral infection that is transmitted by mosquitoes. This communicable disease has had an outbreak that crossed international borders within the past five years. According to WHO (2017), countries that have been affected by the outbreaks include Brazil January 2000, Netherlands February 2000, Nigeria May 2000, Liberia August 2000, Guinea December 2000, Côte d'Ivoire May 2001, Peru June 2001, Belgium November 2001, Senegal January 2001, Sudan May 2003, Sierra Leone August 2003, Burkina Faso October 2003, Venezuela September 2004, Maili January 2005, Togo December 2006, Paraguay February 2008, Central African Republic May 2008, Republic of the Congo April 2009, Cameroon October 2009, Uganda January 2011, Chad February 2013,

During Cold War, there were wars in Africa and U.S used the biological weapon(virus) for war to kill enemies. However, in the Motaba River Valley, they couldn’t control themselves from the virus, so they bombed the infected town. All people in the area dead, but only a few animals survived. The virus’ name is from the Motaba River Valley. After a few decades, an African monkey carried a lethal virus in U.S.. and an outbreak occurs in California. Abnormally, the symptoms of the virus occurred very fast and was airborne. The U.S. government tried not to spread the virus, so government and armies quarantined the infected and suspected people in a town. So many people died from Motaba virus, so Colonel Sam Daniels and his ex-wife, Colonel Robbie

Natural disasters are anything from floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, or anything else nature could develop that causes massive amounts of damage, or cause a large losses of life. Such events are not anything caused because of human beings, but only by the actions of atmospheric conditions, or due to the changes of continental drifts that these disasters occur. Technology has come a long way since the early days before the industrial revolution where predictions can be made and warnings can be issued. This helps reduce the amount of possible loss of lives that would occur in 21st century. However, that is not what happened during Hurricane Katrina, a category 5 Hurricane.

The first general issue of reductionism (Elliott, 2000). There may be a tendency to take a simple approach to causes of disasters (Richardson, 1994) reducing them to simplistic activity or blame; this diverts attention away from emergent properties, or previously unforeseen system interactions (Elliott, 2000) and inhibits a holistic approach which would otherwise consider the range of political, economic and

Of the many diseases spread by insects, none are actually caused by the insects themselves but by other organisms passed on when they feed or bite. Insects are capable of spreading diseases caused by many different types of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoan and others. Mosquitoes have earned the title of "the most deadly creature on earth." This is due to the fact that they spread serious epidemic diseases such as Malaria, Yellow Fever, African Sleeping Sickness, and West Nile Virus.
