- In December 2020, a survey of 12,000 residents in Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) between 60 and 90 years old in Kentucky revealed that there were 600 cases of Covid-19 including 325 hospitalizations. Among those hospitalized were 200 women. The total population of Kentucky is 5,000,000. What is the prevalence of Covid-19 in ALF per 1,000 residents?Describe the two classic patterns of propagation of infection in a population? How would you prevent the propagation of infection occurring with these two patterns?The book "Spillover" by David Quammen mentions the significance of anecdotal evidence from locals who've experienced isolated outbreaks. Give an example from the book of such evidence and how it is actually valuable to scientists, even if accounts are second- or third hand. How was anecdotal evidence used to understand the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic? Give two specific examples.
- Why is it so important that individuals with compromised immune systems maintain distance and ensure good hand hygiene in the current COVID-19 outbreak?X is a zoonotic infection first identified in humans in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The infection presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications. X was first identified outside of Africa in 2003 and later reported in the United States of America, linked to contact with infected pet prairie dogs. The pets were reportedly housed with Gambian pouched rats and dormice, imported from Ghana. X has also been further reported in travelers from Nigeria to different countries around the world between 2018 and 2021. This resulted in multiple cases of X identified in several non-endemic countries in 2022, including South Africa. 3.1 Explain the clinical symptoms and laboratory diagnosis of infection X( five each)X is a zoonotic infection first identified in humans in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

- Consider this in relation to the social and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. What populations are most at risk?According to the recent malaria report of the Department of Health, Disease and Prevention Bureau (2022), there are 4, 251 confirmed cases of malaria in the Philippines and majority of the cases are due to Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum life cycle includes gametocytes that will aid the parasite to reproduce sexually in its anopheline vectors. Examine Figure 2 below. Provide three (3) qualitative descriptions of the P. falciparum gametocyte. Write your answers in a complete sentence. Fig. 2.. Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte in thin blood smear (CDC, 2022)How might have population health nurses influenced how long it took to implement state-wide stay-at-home orders when COVID-19 first began to show signs of progressing into a pandemic months before our first wave occurred back in March/April of 2020? What do you currently see as the most important role of the population health nurse as COVID-19 continues to affect our nation? Why?
- At the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Department of Health used a graph to represent the prediction of the number of active cases, if no interventions were made. The vertical axis gives the number of active cases and the horizontal axis shows the number of days since the start of the pandemic. Pennsylvania residents were asked to quarantine to flatten the curve of the graph that rep- resented the number of active infections. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. A Flattening the curve would represented a vertical compression of the graph of the data. B Flattening the curve would be a horizontal stretch of the graph of the data. When reading statistics reported in reputable news sources, it is beneficial to under- stand data measurement vocabulary. UWhy is virulence expected to increase with vector or water-borne transmission, relative to direct transmission? Using the concept of a “cost of virulence”, explain how vertical transmission or transmission in a hospital is thought to affect the level of virulence favored by natural selection?In a small tropical island population of 10,000 people, 37 people have Malaria. What is the prevalence per 100 of Malaria in this population?
