Microbial Transmission: Can they really be controlled... Or nah?! ● With the topic of the spread of microbes being so prevalent today, it seems right to

discuss the what, how & why of microbial transmission. How is it that we can pick

up a "disease" so quickly and (at times) can't trace back to where it even started?

What is the difference between an Outbreak, Epidemic & Pandemic? What are we

doing to help control the fast-paced movement of microorganisms across the globe?

Is there a Microbe that can potentially infect majority of all humans that can and/or

will place even us on the endangered list? How major is our impact on the spread of

these microbes that can potentially wipe us out?

● These are all things that can be addressed when thinking about the transmission of

microbes within our own bodies, homes, communities, cities, states, countries,

continents, globe, universe, etc... What are the strengths and weaknesses of our

current health care systems in the fight against the new age microbe of today?

● In this Forum, you are to discuss your stance on human impact on Disease Transmissions

of Microbes. What do you currently know about how microbes are transmitted? What role

do you personally play in spreading and/or preventing the spread of microbes? How

cognizant are you when it comes to your daily practices that easily spread microbes?

How often do you wash your hands? Clean your house? How do you control the growth

of microbes around you in order to ultimately prevent the infection and spread of

microorganisms? Any other information you would like to add? Examples? Anecdotes?

News Articles? Etc…
