Write My Essay For Me

Scenario: You have just been accepted as an intern at an organization primarily concerned with disease surveillance and prevention efforts. As part of your employment, you are required to learn about and be able to consult with outside officials on a disease of global concern on behalf of the organization.

Research and discuss an infectious disease that poses the threat of a pandemic and may require isolation or quarantine efforts. Provide a short overview of the disease including etiology, transmission, and public health characteristics of the disease.

Reflect on the social impact of isolation or quarantine should an outbreak or threat of widespread transmission occur. Would there be a question of moral responsibility or do other factors take precedence? What would you personally advise in regard to governments or healthcare organizations imposing mandatory immunization, isolation, or quarantine?

How would you personally feel if you were the subject of isolation or quarantine? What would you hope government officials, healthcare professionals, or even your own friends or family do to aid you in this time?

Here are the recources,
