Name: __EXAMPLE_
Title of your presentation: __The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Impact on Life in 2020
Outline: (complete these areas with short sentences or sentence fragments. Just enough information to show that you have a plan for how the presentation will flow in a logical, orderly path.)
Introduction: (What is the topic and why is it important)
· The COVID-19 is a disease caused by a virus that is part of the SARS/MERS family of viruses.
· The SARS-CoV-2 virus causes the COVID-19 disease.
· To date more than 600,000 Americans have died from this disease, and over 33 million American’s have been infected.
· Scientists feel that the reported numbers infection and deaths are significantly lower than the actual number of cases.
· This pandemic is ongoing, and the emergence of new mutations (variants) continue to threaten the world.
Example: (tell a story or give a concrete example to illustrate the importance of understanding this disease)
· Globally, as of 6:09pm CEST, 30 June 2021, there have been 181,521,067 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 3,937,437 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 30 June 2021, a total of 2,915,585,482 vaccine doses have been administered. (WHO 2021)
· Vaccinations are available in the US and much of the developed world but the access to vaccine in underdeveloped countries is still limited.
· New variants continue to be identified. These emerge in unvaccinated populations and then threaten to reduce the effectiveness of current vaccines. People may well have to get booster shots and/or yearly injections to maintain resistance. (CDC, 2021)
· “The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and its unprecedented global societal and economic disruptive impact has marked the third zoonotic introduction of a highly pathogenic coronavirus into the human population.” (V’kovski, 2020)
Important scientific and medical findings about how this organism causes the disease? Outline the pathway of the entire disease process focusing on the microbiology processes involved.
· “COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person to person, including between people who are physically near each other (within about 6 feet). People who are infected but do not show symptoms can also spread the virus to others.
Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been reported but are rare
. We are still learning about how the virus spreads and the severity of illness it causes.” (CDC,2021)
· COVID-19 is caused by a “corona virus” which is a descriptive term for the structure of the virus as seen under the electron microscope. It has multiple projections from its coat that are areas of attachment to host cells.
· “Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a highly diverse family of enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. They infect humans, other mammals and avian species, including livestock and companion animals.” (V’kovski, 2020)
· “The initial steps of coronavirus infection involve the specific binding of the coronavirus spike (S) protein to the cellular entry receptors, which have been identified for several coronaviruses.” (V’kovski, 2020)
· “The seven coronaviruses known to infect humans fall within the alpha- and betacoronavirus genera, whereas gamma- and deltacoronaviruses primarily infect birds.” (Hartenian, 2020)
What are the symptoms and disease processes that patients must go through if they are infected?
· The most common symptoms are similar to many respiratory viruses.
· Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms may include: fever or chills; cough; shortness of breath; fatigue; muscle and body aches; headache; new loss of taste or smell; sore throat; congestion or runny nose; nausea or vomiting; diarrhea. (CDC 2021)
· Symptoms may persist several weeks, but in some cases can last even longer.
· A currently unknown number of patients can have persistent symptoms for months after the infection. These cases are now identified as “long-term COVID” and are still being researched.
What is being done about this disease or what more could be done? Are scientists working on eradicating the organism? What medical advances are being tried to prevent the disease or treat those afflicted?
There are currently several types of vaccine available for COVID-19. Additional precautions people can and should take include:
· Wash your hands. Wash your hands thoroughly and often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water aren’t available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Teach your children the importance of hand-washing. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
· Disinfect your stuff. Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, electronics, and kitchen and bathroom countertops daily. This is especially important when someone in your family has symptoms or has been diagnosis with COVID-19. Wash children’s toys periodically.
· Cover your cough. Sneeze and cough into tissues. Throw away used tissues right away, then wash your hands thoroughly. If you don’t have a tissue, sneeze or cough into the bend of your elbow and then wash your hands.
· Don’t share. Don’t share drinking glasses or eating utensils with other family members. Use your own glass or disposable cups when you or someone else is sick. Label the cup or glass with the name of the person using it.
· Stay away from people with symptoms. Avoid close contact with anyone who has a cold-like symptoms. Stay out of crowds, when possible. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
· Review your child-care center’s policies. Look for a child-care setting with good hygiene practices and clear policies about keeping sick children at home.
· Take care of yourself. Eating well and getting exercise and enough sleep is good for your overall health.
