Book Description
Are you worried about your health amid the new coronavirus that has emerged in China since December 2019?Watching the news like a hawk to see what the latest developments are with COVID- 19? Not sure how to protect yourself from the novel coronavirus and what you can do to stop the spread in your community? Starting in December 2019, we saw the outbreak of a coronavirus that was larger than what we could expect and infected more people than the SARS outbreak of 2003. Immediately, people started to panic and think back to the time when people were fearful of that virus and how it wreaked havoc on the world as a global pandemic could emerge. As this recent epidemic has been termed as a ‘pandemic,’ numerous health professionals have been investigating the cause and treatment of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. But what is more powerful in this process is becoming informed about the virus and not giving in to the temptation to be overly fearful or anxious. Information is powerful and provides us with reassurance of what we can do about a situation. Like any other virus that has infected the world, the coronavirus is one that can be treated and dealt with, but it takes the responsibility of the citizens of this world to become informed and know what to do to treat and prevent the spread of this virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) identified the COVID-19 coronavirus as a global health emergency. Because of this appellation, many people would do well to learn as much as they can about the virus and what to do when and if they get it. That’s where this book comes in. This book will give you everything you need to know about the novel coronavirus, including stats and figures, symptoms and treatment, information about the spread and cases throughout the world, as well as tips that will help protect you and your family from catching the virus. In a world that is well-connected through the Internet and other information pathways, there is a wealth of resources available to inform you about this virus. This book provides an encapsulation and synthesis of those online resources that will help you understand the virus and what you can do about it to help stop the spread of this highly contagious disease. The most important thing we can do is not panic about what is happening with this illness. Instead of worrying and becoming anxious, we should trust in the truth that we are not in control and that we need to relinquish our feelings of control over the situation and allow it to be, but at the same time we also have to be defensive and do what we can to fight the fears that are enveloping this world.What we need to protect ourselves from is not only the virus but also the fear and hysteria that inevitably accompany this illness throughout the world. If you are concerned about the COVID-19 coronavirus, then read on to find out what you can do about the illness and how you can protect your family from it, as well. You will not be disappointed with our in-depth coverage of the illness and well- researched points that will inform you and provide you with the reassurance that all will be well. Stop worrying and start acting. It is crucial to be proactive during these times, and then you will experience freedom from your fears and confidence to face the challenges. Join us on this journey to discover what to do about COVID-19 and how you can battle the anxiety and fear by empowering yourself with the information that will protect you from the spread of this virus.

Reopening K-12 Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

ISBN: 0309680077
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the nation's K-12 education system. The rush to slow the spread of the virus led to closures of schools across the country, with little time to ensure continuity of instruction or to create a framework for deciding when and how to reopen schools. States, districts, and schools are now grappling with the complex and high-stakes questions of whether to reopen school buildings and how to operate them safely if they do reopen. These decisions need to be informed by the most up-to-date evidence about the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19; about the impacts of school closures on students and families; and about the complexities of operating school buildings as the pandemic persists. Reopening K-12 Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prioritizing Health, Equity, and Communities provides guidance on the reopening and operation of elementary and secondary schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The recommendations of this report are designed to help districts and schools successfully navigate the complex decisions around reopening school buildings, keeping them open, and operating them safely.

The COVID-19 Catastrophe
Author: Richard Horton
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509546456
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest science policy failure in a generation. We knew this was coming. Warnings about the threat of a new pandemic have been made repeatedly since the 1980s and it was clear in January that a dangerous new virus was causing a devastating human tragedy in China. And yet the world ignored the warnings. Why? In this short and hard-hitting book, Richard Horton, editor of the medical journal The Lancet, scrutinizes the actions that governments around the world took – and failed to take – as the virus spread from its origins in Wuhan to the global pandemic that it is today. He shows that many Western governments and their scientific advisors made assumptions about the virus and its lethality that turned out to be mistaken. Valuable time was lost while the virus spread unchecked, leaving health systems unprepared for the avalanche of infections that followed. Drawing on his own scientific and medical expertise, Horton outlines the measures that need to be put in place, at both national and international levels, to prevent this kind of catastrophe from happening again. Were supposed to be living in an era where human beings have become the dominant influence on the environment, but COVID-19 has revealed the fragility of our societies and the speed with which our systems can come crashing down. We need to learn the lessons of this pandemic and we need to learn them fast because the next pandemic may arrive sooner than we think.

Pandemic Economics
Author: Thomas R. Sadler
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000411354
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Pandemic Economics applies economic theory to the Covid-19 era, exploring the micro and macro dimensions of the pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases. Using core economic tools such as marginal analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and opportunity cost, this book explores the breadth of economic outcomes from the pandemic. It shows that a tradeoff between public health and economic health led to widespread problems, including virus infections and unemployment. Taking an international and comparative approach, the book shows that because countries implemented different economic policies, interventions, and timelines during the crisis, outcomes varied with respect to the extent of recession, process of recovery, availability of medical equipment, public health, and additional waves of the virus. Pedagogical features are weaved throughout the text, including country case studies, key terms, suggested further reading, and discussion questions for solo or group study. On top of this, the book offers online supplements comprising PowerPoint slides, test questions, extra case studies, and an instructor guide. This textbook will be a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on pandemic economics, macroeconomics, health economics, public policy, and related areas.
