Evaluate how prior health care interventions, or lack thereof, created the conditions that allowed this infectious disease to emerge

Some of the most notable epidemics include the bubonic plague in the 14th century, smallpox in the 18th century, and influenza in the 20th century. Reportedly, the bubonic plague caused over 137 million deaths, whereas the death toll associated with influenza was 25 million (Ernst, 2001). These are dramatic examples of the kinds of acute outbreaks that led to the practice of epidemiology.
Many epidemiologists and health care professionals are concerned about the next potential pandemic or epidemic. With the increased mobility of society, the spread of infectious diseases continues to pose a serious threat. For this Discussion, you will investigate pandemics and epidemics using epidemiological tools, and you will consider strategies for mitigating disease outbreaks.
To prepare:
Using the Learning Resources, consider examples of emerging or reemerging infectious diseases that are occurring locally, nationally, or abroad. Then, select one example on which to focus.Explore the epidemiological investigative process used to identify the emerging or reemerging infectious disease or outbreak.Examine your selected infectious disease using the epidemiologic triangle and vector theory.Consider how health care interventions may reduce the emergence or reemergence of infectious diseases.
By tomorrow 04/25/2018 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”
Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Identify the emerging or reemerging infectious disease you selected.
2) Discuss the investigative process used to identify the outbreak, and describe its effect using descriptive epidemiology (person, place, and time).
3) Apply the epidemiologic triangle and vector theory to your selected outbreak.
4) Evaluate how prior health care interventions, or lack thereof, created the conditions that allowed this infectious disease to emerge.
5) Discuss how the disease outbreak might have been avoided or mitigated. Include agencies, organizations, and resources that could have supported these efforts. If appropriate, consider ongoing efforts to control the outbreak.

How does the vast movement of food from one nation to another benefit or potentially harm developing nations? Are there benefits of importing food to developed or wealthy nations?

Do you know where your food comes from? Throughout history, self-sufficiency has been the norm for acquiring food such as grains, meats, fruits, and vegetables. People and nations grew their own food and traded only on a local level. Today, food trade between nations has intensified, food is shipped thousands of miles across the globe, and world trade in agricultural products exceeds $1 trillion annually.
Choose 1 of the foods from the following link (see attached) that you may have in your fridge or pantry:
Complete the following:
•List and describe the food item, and include where it came from (check the label or Web site).
•Use this calculator to determine how far it has traveled to you. Answer the following questions:
1.How does the vast movement of food from one nation to another benefit or potentially harm developing nations? Are there benefits of importing food to developed or wealthy nations?
2.There is an “eat local” initiative developing throughout the United States and Europe. What are the benefits to buying fresh, local foods? Are there drawbacks? Do you buy local?
3.Can you live without the food item you chose? Is there a local substitute available?
4.Knowing what you do of how global food trade affects the global market and the economies of individual countries, explain your position on buying this food item in the future.
