Bird Flu
The 1918 influenza epidemic brought about millions upon millions of deaths due to the unexpected mutation of the virus and the low healthcare potential. Nowadays, if the bird flu was to become capable of spreading through respiratory droplets in an effective manner, healthcare would be able to save millions of lives despite the severity of the disease. It is worth noting, however, that the disease might not be contained, leading to a great portion of the world population to die. So far, the bird flu does not have a reliable vaccine, leading to the chances that the world might be unprepared if the virus mutates and spreads into a pandemic. However, there are several key reasons why governments would be able to protect …show more content…
This infection is capable of affecting many areas in the body, and it can also form on the genitals such as the penis in men and cervix in women. This virus forms warts, which are transferred through autoinoculation, meaning that the infected party must have sexual intercourse with a healthy person. Sexual intercourse includes oral, anal, and straight sex. Once HPV is inside a woman, it divides inside the cervix cells and increases the chances that the cells become cancerous. Once the cell’s DNA is damaged and starts to multiply without restrain, it gives way to cervical cancer. The development of cervical cancer is then divided into 5 stages. In the carcinoma in situ or stage 0, the cancerous cells lie on the cervix but do not penetrate it. Here, the cancer is barely starting and relatively easy to cure when diagnosed early with the Papanicolaou (Pap) test. In stage 1, the cancer spreads into the cervix. Stage 2 sees the malignant cells spread further into the cervix and uterus while stage 3 reaches the lower vagina and pelvis walls. Finally, stage 4 is usually a terminal stage in which the cancer has spread to neighboring
