The goal of the CDC is to protect public health and safety through the control an prevention of injury and disability. Suppose that 70 people have been diagnosed with a new strain of the flu virus and that scientists estimate that each person with the virus will infect 6 people every day with the flu. ( New Cases) 1. What type of function should the scientists use to model the situation? Why?

A key result of the pandemic has been the increased scrutiny of scientific research by a broader and, in some cases, a less experienced audience, resulting in significant discussions about the basic tenets of scientific theory and discovery. How would you help people understand the enduring value of experimental science to our society for effectively addressing challenging human health problems?
Three methods have been used to try to eliminate malaria. One is to eliminate the mosquito vectors of the parasite, a second is to kill the parasites after they have entered the human body, and the third is to develop a vaccine against the parasite, allowing the human immune system to provide protection from the disease. Which do you suppose is the most promising in the long run? Why? Think about both the biology of the disease and the efficacy of carrying out each of the methods on a large scale .
Gain of Function research, defined as: "medical research that genetically alters an organism in a way that may enhance the biological functions of gene products." The worry is that this type of research will lead to the release of dangerous viruses and is unethical; others believe it is necessary to treat future pandemics is Gain of Function research unethical? Why? Please use scholarly literature thank you

Dr. William Farr is best known for is contribution to: Finding the cure for the Black Death Streamlining scientific method Revamping the Cullen disease classification. Refining the classification of disease pathology
Many unethical practices were used to further advancement in the health sciences. Three examples are: The Tuskegee Airmen, Henrietta Lacks, and Nazi experiments during the Holocaust. Given that some of this “knowledge” would not have been obtained unless these research studies were conducted, should similar research should be conducted to find cures and treatments to diseases that we have today?
In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?

Which of the following statement is true? A. Scientists believe the world is due for an epidemic of influenza that could be a major killer B Most viral diseases can be effectively treated with common antibiotics such as penicillin C. Viruses are much less likely than bacteria to be used in bioterrorism. D. Viral diseases cannot spread from animals to humans. E. None of the above is true
Epidemiologist rely on a set of standard study designs to understand the distribution of 'diseases' and what factors are associated with the presence or absence of disease. Ultimately, the goal is to identify the 'causes' of disease in order to prevent the disease in the future. In modern epidemiology, disease is defined broadly, and can range from infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, HIV), chronic diseases (e.g., heart attack, stroke, diabetes), injuries (e.g., car accidents, homicide), or even social conditions (e.g., poverty). Exposures too may be defined as anything proposed as a potential cause (or correlate) of the disease. For this exercise, briefly outline a hypothetical study to investigate a potential exposure/disease relationship. You may draw on your own experience or choose a topic that is of interest to you. After choosing a topic to study, select an appropriate study design from the list below. Cross-sectional study Cohort study Case-control study Ecological study…
Which of the following is NOT a reason why Wakefield’s study on the connection between autism and vaccinations was flawed? A. the study had a small sample size B. the study was not replicable C. the study acquired samples unethically and, quite possibly, illegally D. the study demonstrated everyone’s well being was taken care of E. the authors committed deliberate fraud to support their hypothesis
