Book excerpt: The world is going through hard time. The culture of gathering has changed to lockdown and then to social distancing. The change is noticed from infants to old age people. The ground of this change and hardship is COVID-19. The corona virus disease, first diagnosed in 2019 in Wuhan, China gradually spread in whole world and becoming a pandemic. As the disease spread in whole world so are people's opinions and views leading to some factual details but more myths. As it is rightly said that less knowledge person is more dangerous than an illiterate so does the knowledge about disease. Myths are very dangerous when considered as facts. The book "51 MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT COVID-19", picked the myths from the society which are spreading as fire and provide the facts on the scientific basis and finding of various research conducted by various scientists and doctors. The book serves the present purpose effectively, as most efficient cure of COVID-19 is prevention from it. Prevention can be by two means firstly physical and for that follow the new normal: wear mask, social distancing and washing/ sanitizing hands often.

Download or read book Facing COVID Without Panic written by Daniel Halperin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise book explains in understandable terms how scientists, as they struggle to understand Covid-19, have begun to identify the main ways the coronavirus is spread and the primary factors associated with severe illness and death. This emerging evidence can help us determine the best ways to reduce risk as well as anxiety and fear. By examining 12 common myths and 12 lesser known facts about Covid-19, the author explores: ● How this respiratory coronavirus is mainly spread through close and prolonged contact, and why fleeting encounters are extremely unlikely to cause infection ● How most infections occur within clusters of people in indoor situations with poor air circulation: households, workplaces, nursing homes, prisons, mass transit, etc. ● The very low risk of infection while being outdoors and from surfaces ● Why a child is more likely to die from walking to school than from Covid-19, and the surprisingly low risk of children infecting others ● Why "facial distancing" is more helpful than "social distancing" ● The value and limitations of other prevention measures including masks, gloves, thermometer guns, hand sanitizers, vaccines, and "herd immunity" approaches ● Why having asthma does not increase risk of severe illness or death from Covid-19 (and may even lower risk) ● Is it safe to work out again at the gym? ● What's about "airborne" transmission: do we need to do anything differently? ● The not necessarily very high risk to the elderly, absent serious health conditions ● The need to focus on levels of Covid-19 deaths vs cases, even when surges inevitably occur ● The confusion regarding "asymptomatic" and "pre-symptomatic" infected persons ● The impact of shelter-in-place measures and other responses to the coronavirus, and ● What can be learned from past pandemics: Daniel Halperin, Ph.D. is Adjunct Full Professor at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health in Chapel Hill. He has conducted epidemiological and anthropological research for over forty years in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and other regions, and previously taught at Harvard School of Public Health, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Ponce School of Medicine in Puerto Rico. He served over five years as Senior HIV Prevention Advisor at the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Dr. Halperin co-authored a New York Times "Editor's Choice" book on the AIDS pandemic and has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles on infectious diseases in leading scientific journals, as well as a number of opinion pieces in the Washington Post, New York Times, Financial Times, and elsewhere.

Download or read book Gone Viral written by David J Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book in the Gone Viral series contains stories about the origins of the virus. When a new virus spreads quickly across the world, it's only natural for us to try and figure out where it came from. As of the time of writing, scientists from the World Health Organization are still looking into the exact source of Covid-19. The mystery surrounding its origins lends itself to rumors and legends. While scientists have been studying the virus for months, and can debunk many theories outright, the fact remains that we do not know exactly where and how human infection started. We may never know.And so, the origin myths have continued to circulate. Many of these stories are dramatic, almost cinematic in nature. Some of them seem to have been penned by some imaginative Hollywood screenwriter. For this reason, I've decided to retell them here in the dramatic style of a summer blockbuster.Like so many of the stories that Hollywood tells us, these urban legends are filled with misleading ideas-misrepresentations of other cultures, simplified views of science, and sinister government plots. Entire nations are reduced to ridiculous caricatures. These myths are sophomoric and over-the-top, exaggerated and absurd. If any one of them were made into a film adaptation, Nicholas Cage would be great for the lead role.So grab the popcorn, find a comfy seat, and settle in. Let the show begin.

Download or read book Myths Surrounding Covid 19 Vaccine Candidates written by John Zizzo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 pandemic has propelled public health officials into the socio-political sphere due to the need for constantly updated information on behalf of the public. However, many individuals choose to acquire health information/guidance from indirect sources, including social media, news organizations, and general word of mouth. As a result, myths and false narratives about various essential health topics, including vaccine characteristics and protective measures, can circulate un-verified between millions of individuals with little recourse. These can further widen the ,Äúgap,Äù between public knowledge and current research, resulting in lower vaccine uptake (vaccine hesitancy) and protective measure adherence. Such actions have profound implications as nations attempt to achieve herd immunity and end the pandemic once and for all. Thus, it is vital that public health officials, health providers, researchers, and the general public be able to differentiate common Covid-19 myths from facts and be prepared to approach such interactions via sound reasoning and research-based evidence. This chapter will serve as a guide to accomplish just that.
