This paper deals with the possibility of having to deal with what could and would happen if an infectious viral outbreak were to occur. Their main focus was on what would be the measures for publicly controlling an outbreak and isolating individuals and or groups and segregating them from the rest of the healthy population either by placing them at home or more drastically in quarantined zone. The paper goes deep into symptoms and how they are used as landmarks for early recognition and prevention for not just the …show more content…
The International Health Regulations and the World Health Organization work hand in hand and are constantly revising their methods and strategic plans to aid in eradicating and or preventing wide spread diseases. This article focus and stresses the regulations and sanctions that are placed on varying international treaties regarding agreements of trading goods. There are several crucial steps that must be implemented before being able to prevent or eradicate any disease. Steps such as looking at the overall scope of the damage that a specific disease in this case smallpox can emit, secondly the level of the disease regarding the emergency regulations that must be implemented and lastly who ultimately takes the initiative to respond to the preliminary outbreak …show more content…
An experiment was conducted with 152 students in a university that were quarantined and studied. This was piloted with the assumption that students in a university have a much higher success rate of contracting and infecting other students with varying forms of diseases due to their close proximity and just the overall size and magnitude of the body population. Healthy students were quarantined in a dorm room with other students were a positive case for the H1H1 influenza. There were various scenarios where students only came in contact with the influenza by the use of the room and toilet, by toilet only and room only. This let the researches have a control on who was coming into contact with what surface and the correlation to the students who caught the H1N1 influenza and who did not. They saw no varying results with student placed in single or double person dorms. This experiment elaborated on the concern of quarantining and how it can be corrected to ensure that the risk of individuals of contracting or increasing symptoms of not just the H1N1 influenza but any infectious disease. Reduce contact to reduce the possibility of contamination. This can be correlated back to smallpox and how it can quickly
