Question 1. Use the disease transmission model as a basis for responding to the three following multipart questions. Your answers are expected to be qualitative or semi-quantitative (e.g. more or less, higher or lower, faster or slower) only. (B) Social distancing and wearing face masks are proving to be highly effective in slowing the spread of the Coronavirus. If you were using the disease transmission model to simulate how these social behaviors slow the spread of the disease, which one factor (S, I, m, or b) in the model would you change? How would you change this particular factor (increase or decrease) to simulate slowing the spread of the disease and why? Explain.
As we know,SARS(Covid-19) pandemic has distrubed normal life of humanbeings,though the whole world may be under "lockdown",nothing can deter the word,power and authority.
Pathology is the study of diseases,evry disease is transmitting from one person to another by diffent mediums,it may be air,water,oral or through vector.Some diseases trasmit through animals &plants also.
Typhoid:salmonella typhi (bacteria)-water(transmitting medium)
AIDS:HIV (virus)-*sexual mode of trasmission
*blood transfusion
*mother to child during pregancy or breast-feeding
*contaminated instruments like syringes,needles etc
Tuberculosis-Mycobacterium-droplets(air borne disease)
like this transmission of diseases varies.
CORONA virus also came under air borne disease.
Precautions:it is mostly airbone diseases so for to protect overselves we must follow some methods.they are:
S means suspected cases:suspected cases are high in number beacause so many factors or self awarenss they come forward for to test.
I means Infected cases:by social distancing and preventive measures we reduce this cases,why beacuse whenever we are modify our life style then we saw a change.
M means mortality cases:automatically mortality rate decrease.
