1) Reflect on the current pandemic and the historical ones you learned about. Compare the risk of disease spread in 1918, for example, to today. How might current technologies, medical advancements, and human activities impact spread? 

2) Given what you have learned about the immune system and COVID-19, what do you think should be the main focus of scientific research to help curb this pandemic?

 

Generally , with technology , there is a great improvement in health sector as discovery of new technologies , medical advancement and human activities have lead to positive impact in disease prevention through evidence based research as compared to before where there were no technology hence disease prevention was that difficult

Step-by-step explanation

1. Reflect on the current pandemic and the historical ones you learned about. Compare the risk of disease spread in 1918, for example, to today. How might current technologies, medical advancements, and human activities impact spread?

With the new evolution in technology and advancement , there is increase occurrence of new diseases across the globe which has raise more alarm for intensive improvement so as to cur the diseases. Despite the improvement in current technologies, medical advancements, and human activities, there are still diseases attack which call for more research so as to curb the disease. However the continued disease occurrence , the current evolution in technology , medical advancement and human activities have improved in the following ways as compared to before ;

Use of technology in carrying out research and vaccines to prevent the occurrence as been a great impact as compared to before where there was no technology to carry out research and new vaccines so as to help prevent the occurrence of new diseases. New medical advancements which were not there before such as clinical diagnosis measures and treatment techniques used which were not there before have made it possible to treat and prevent diseases immediately on their occurrence hence improves the well being of the society. Today , human activities have evolved in use of machines making work easy hence prevents ergonomics conditions, healthy living through exercise and balanced diet thus improves the condition of people as compared to before where people were not even a ware of balanced diet thus becoming more challenging to prevent given diseases.

2.Given what you have learned about the immune system and COVID-19, what do you think should be the main focus of scientific research to help curb this pandemic?

The increase occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic has been a great impact to the society as well as economy. There is much e be done so as to prevent further occurrence of the disease. Despite the few measures put in place such as the social distance, Quarantine, and hygiene measures to curb the pandemic , there is much need to focus the scientific research on improving the immunity of the general population as the disease has no treatment but can be managed hence recovery. Improving mass immunity through finding a vaccine to strengthen the immunity of the population will be one of the successful ways to curb the disease.

Generally , with technology , there is a great improvement in health sector as discovery of new technologies , medical advancement and human activities have lead to positive impact in disease prevention through evidence based research as compared to before where there were no technology hence disease prevention was that difficult
