Zika Virus

Herd immunity cannot occur through vaccination. However since the same person cannot be infected twice, Herd immunity may occur once there

One ongoing case that has evolved in the United States throughout the past couple of years is the Zika virus. The Chicago Tribune wrote “Commentary: To fight Zika, Deploy the National Guard” which was written on May 27, 2016 by ML Cavanaugh. According to http://www.mlcavanaugh.com, ML Cavanaugh is a United States Army strategist and has taught classes in the defense and strategic studies program. He was the youngest recipient of the “Order of Saint Gabriel the Archangel” according to mlcavanaugh.com.

In this project women of childbearing age was largely the population of focus, with many social determinants of the health that made this already vulnerable population even more in need of assistance concerning possible Zika outbreaks, prenatal education, and family planning services. Social determinants of health may include a variety of non-medical variables such as socioeconomic status, education attainment, neighborhood factors, racial discrimination, access to resources, working environment, etc. (Braveman, Egerter, & Williams, 2011; Mendez, Hogan, & Culhane, 2013). Women of childbearing age in relation to Zika virus exposure risk may encounter institutionalized racism and various upstream determinants of health that may negatively impact their ability to obtain healthcare coverage, educational resources, and family planning services. The political trends in Texas towards defunding Planned Parenthood and not expanding Medicaid services has placed an enormous burden on the women of Texas who wish to plan or prevent pregnancy but do not have the financial means to do so (Darney, et al., 2017). In the wake of a possible endemic disease, such as Zika virus, the most vulnerable will be the most susceptible.

Remember when the Zika virus was breaking news last year? Even though the virus isn’t making headlines like it did in 2016, Zika is still a concern for women who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant. The Austin fertility specialists at Texas Fertility Center explain what you need to know about Zika virus and the birth defects that

This The Albuquerque Journal news article discusses how the Spanish government is trying to mend long-standing wrongs previous regimes and Spanish governments had inflicted on the Jewish community within its state. The article begins by discussing the history between the Spanish government and its Jewish citizenry and how the government gave Jews the option of converting to Catholicism, leaving the country, or being executed. To try and mend relationships with the descendants of the Jews that chose exile, referred to as crypto-Jews, the government of Spain passed a law allowing descendants who still have ties to Spain to be granted citizenship. The article goes into some of the details regarding the citizenship process as well as discusses

In the united states , the government is divided into three different branches, although they are divided and they each have their own specific purpose; they all come together to make sure one main goal is provided and that is protection. The government is here to protect its people from things such as; laws that violates rights, harmful people, illnesses. And etc. in this case the government is in charge of protecting everyone from the illness Zika, which is a virus that is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. After viewing the assigned readings and viewing it proves that the government is fulfilling its role in protecting the people from the Zika virus.

The Olympic Games in Rio De Jaineiro during this past summer of 2016 shared the spotlight with the Zika Virus. Many athletes were concerned about this new transmitted virus and proceeded to walk away from the games. Even with many of the athletes backing out of the games there were many brave athletes that looked past this obstacle and focused on something else, winning the gold. The committee was thinking of relocating the Olympic Games because of the Zika breakout and all of the commotion it had caused. Not many knew about the new virus; how you could get it and how it was being spread. Many people just thought it was just another normal mosquito bite that only gave some type of minor flu. Little did anyone know that in fact the Zika Virus is very harmful and, can end up being deadly.

1. There are four key audiences that need to be communicated to about the actions of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The first audience would be women who are pregnant or women who are thinking about becoming pregnant. This would be the most important key audience in my opinion since the Zika Virus greatly affects women who are pregnant and can cause negative impacts for their babies. Women who are thinking about becoming pregnant are also important because even though it currently doesn’t affect them or their baby it could in the future and they need to take precautions with where to travel and how to protect themselves. The second key audience would be couples or young adults of childbearing age planning to travel to affected areas. This audience needs to be

My opinion concerning the Zika virus is one that is strongly built upon the principle that government aid and funding in regards to health care is necessary to ensure the safety of American citizens. A fatal virus such as this one that spreads through a country at an exponential rate is not a epidemic to be taken lightly. Nor is it an issue that should be dismissed simply because of libertarians believing that healthcare should be handled at a private level because of the sinister idea of a large scale imposition of government aid that would provide assistance to citizens that are weeks, or even days, away from dying. The two biggest political parties of the U.S. seem to understand that this issue is a pressing one, and that funding to combat

Diseases can be preventable and curable but many still manage to devastate on international scales, whether it was during the Middle Ages or today. These illnesses are sometimes underrated in their effects on the human race where symptoms can range from minimal to down-right devastating and painful. No matter where it started, they can bring devastating effects to the surrounding area. When someone wants to know about a disease, they want to know where it came from, it's symptoms, and how it affected the community in which it appeared. The Black Death, Ebola, and the Zika virus are examples of large-scale illnesses that vary in all three of these topics but still managed to threaten humans on a bigger scale than expected. Diseases like the

The 2016 United States Presidential election brought out the worst in people, hope turned into fear and the American citizens were divided on who would ease their fear. The Republican candidate, Donald Trump, an outsider to politics, his outspoken nature only helped his campaign. Just when the people thought he could not say or do anything worse, he would defy the odds and top his previous offensive comment with something even more offensive. The Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton, has been active in politics for the past few decades, her roles in government include Senator and Speaker of the House. While many times previous experience would help a candidate, this only hurt her and eventually led to her demise. This election will go down in

In the book “Am I Blue?” the author's message is don't base poeple by a title, I think this is the author's message because in the book and in people's lives, gay people get judged and beat up just because they like the same gender. That doesn't make them any different though, if people gave them a chance they would realize that there just like any other kid, and just because they like the same gender doesn't make them gross or rude. “So all the straights would have to stop imagining that they didn’t know any gay people. They would find out that they had been surrounded by gays all the time, and survived the experience just fine, thank you.

West Nile Encephalitis is a West Nile Virus that causes inflammation of the brain. The viral family’s name is flaviviridae and genera flavivirus (Tortora. Funke. Case, 2010, p 376). The flavivirus genome consists of positive RNA single strand. However, the virus has acquired several mutations and research is ongoing (Tortora, Funke, Case, 2010 p 223). West Nile virus is an arthropod-borne virus and is transmitted to human beings through the bite of infected mosquitoes. It is the leading cause of domestically acquired arthropod-borne disease in the United States. (Nicole, 2014 para.1). According to the World Health Organization (2011), “Approximately 80% of people who are infected will not show any symptoms. However, less than 1% of the people who are infected will show severe symptoms resulting to a serious neurological illness like encephalitis.” (Center for Disease Control (2015)

The biblical legend of Adam and Eve goes hand in hand with some of the context within Of Mice and Men. Adam and Eve’s story of falling from God’s goodness is an understanding that even our finest blueprints, or best laid plans can be lead off course. God created man in his image, yet man’s vulnerability to temptation caused Adam and Eve to lose their way. Lennie represents the imperfection of humans through his weakness to touch soft things and his incapability to anticipate the outcome of his actions put him in a good amount of danger with other human beings. When he realizes he has "done a bad thing," he goes astray because of temptation. Needing to touch the soft red dress belonging to the girl in Weed and the need to not let go of Curley’s

World War I was considered the War To End All Wars. World War I started in 1914 and continued on until 1918. In 1917 The United States entered the war. Fighting was officially announced over in 1919 when a peace treaty was signed. Although all war is grueling, many positive technology advancements came from the basic need for them. World War I had a different meaning to America and the rest of the world and thus had a different causes and effects.
