Assess and analyze

Analyze the data from the Bar Graph (from the provided website below) based on Mortality Rates of those impacted by the Flu and COVID-19.

MPR News

1. Analysis – Analyze the Bar Graph that shows Mortality Rates of those impacted by the common Flu (USA) and COVID-19 (China). Provide one Observation (Results) and one Inference (Discussions/Conclusions); in other words what does the data mean?

2. Understanding – Describe the differences between an Outbreak, Epidemic, and Pandemic.

3. Knowledge – Define transmission of disease.

4. Comprehension – Describe the different ways a disease can be transmitted? What impact do we have as humans that can support the control of transmission?

5. Application – What tactics, skills and/or techniques will you implement going forward to help control the transmission of microbes in your daily life?

6. Interdisciplinary Connections- How does epidemiology and public health work together and/or apart from one another in disease control?

7. Synthesis – This is the fun part- be creative as you want – and synthesize something new and novel that will slow down transmission of a specific microbe. By that I mean, develop or design a product that will slow down the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. A prime example is when the condom was created to slow down transmission.
