Man and Anchor
No full text25 x 19 cm., Two illustrations, one Colored Pens and the other Graphite Pencil . Both illustrations done on tracing paper. The pencil illustration is adhered with masking tape onto the top part of the colored pen illustration . The pencil illustration is a loose preliminary sketch of a Chinese man with Chinese style buildings and mountains in the background. The realistic color illustration is of a man in a white coat and fedora, sitting on a large ship anchor which is laying down on grassy ground.
Text on front side: This Chinese character is backwards-need to turn negatives over.; A cut out like this might be a nice variation.; Robt L. Ripley; 70; 71https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/phil-saint-comics/1031/thumbnail.jp
Epidemiological Study of COVID-19 Modes of Disease Transmission: with Molecular Basis for SARS-CoV-2 Virulence
Get PDFThe world has been embroiled in a deadly and volatile public health crisis. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as a pandemic, has been rapidly affecting nations throughout the world with such ferocity that governments and their public health authorities have been forced to take drastic measures to contain the spread. Yet, despite the aggressive preventative measures in place, COVID-19 has propagated exponentially throughout the world. In response, we conducted an epidemiological study evaluating cumulative incidence, incidence rate, and mortality rate of COVID-19 to better understand the potential modes of disease transmission.in select countries experiencing a high burden of the disease. Currently, the accepted mode of disease transmission is by respiratory droplets containing the virus. Here we provide epidemiological data in conjunction with molecular mechanisms of this Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome- Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and explain the possible alternative modes of disease transmission for COVID-19. Results from this investigation showed that despite aggressive droplet precautionary measures are needed to slow the spread of COVID-19
Does COVID-19 Spread through Droplets Alone?
Get PDFThe world has been in the midst of a swiftly unfolding public health crisis that has turned deadly. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has turned out to be a rapidly expanding pandemic affecting the nations of the world. Most governments and their public health authorities worldwide have taken drastic measures to strictly contain the spread of this coronavirus. However, despite the aggressive preventative measures in place, COVID-19 has propagated exponentially across the world. Currently, the accepted mode of disease transmission is by droplets containing the virus. Here we provide epidemiological data in conjunction with biochemical molecular mechanisms of this Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome- Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and explain the possible alternative modes of disease transmission. Our observed data, biochemical mechanisms, and inferences indicate that COVID-19 has a high probability of transmission through other routes as well, such as indirect routes; viz, fomites and aeros
Delayed Interventions, Low Compliance, and Health Disparities Amplified the Early Spread of COVID-19
Get PDFThe United States (US) public health interventions were rigorous and rapid, yet failed to arrest the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as infections spread throughout the US. Many factors have contributed to the spread of COVID-19, and the success of public health interventions depends on the level of community adherence to preventative measures. Public health professionals must also understand regional demographic variation in health disparities and determinants to target interventions more effectively. In this study, a systematic evaluation of three significant interventions employed in the US, and their effectiveness in slowing the early spread of COVID-19 was conducted. Next, community-level compliance with a state-level stay at home orders was assessed to determine COVID-19 spread behavior. Finally, health disparities that may have contributed to the disproportionate acceleration of early COVID-19 spread between certain counties were characterized. The contribution of these factors for the disproportionate spread of the disease was analyzed using both univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. Results of this investigation show that delayed implementation of public health interventions, a low level of compliance with the stay at home orders, in conjunction with health disparities, significantly contributed to the early spread of the COVID-19 pandemic
