Описание: Offering a comprehensive analysis of mediated representations of global pandemics, this book engages with the construction, management, and classification of difference in the global context of a pandemic, to address what it means – culturally, politically, and economically – to live in an infected, diseased body. Marina Levina argues that mediated representations are essential in translating and making sense of difference as a category of subjectivity and as a mode of organizing and distributing change. Using textual analysis of media texts on pandemics and disease, she illustrates how they represent a larger mediascape that drafts stories of global instabilities and global health. Levina explains how the stories we tell about disease matter; that the media is instrumental in constructing and disseminating these stories; and that mediated narratives of pandemics are rooted in global flows of policies, commerce, and populations. Pandemics are, by definition, global crises.

Описание: Nature creates viruses. But people and politics create pandemics. And pandemics create new politics. In the 1980s, the toxic politics of the response to HIV/AIDS turned a serious but manageable viral threat into a global pandemic that took the lives of 32 million people and brought illness and suffering to millions more. In 2020, COVID-19 emerged into a world where many governments had failed to heed the lessons of the past, and so they were unprepared and unable to stop its global spread. But some countries had learned the harsh lessons of HIV/AIDS, and had contained SARS1, Ebola, Zika and MERS. When coronavirus hit, they knew what to do to save their people from avoidable infections and deaths. In Unmasked: the Politics of Pandemics, Bill Bowtell draws on his four decades of experience in the global and local politics of public health to examine why some countries got it right with coronavirus while others collapsed into misery and chaos. He looks closely at the critical weeks when poor planning brought Australia to the brink of disaster, until the Australian people forced their governments to put public health before politics. Unmasked reveals how and why our politicians failed us during the greatest public health crisis of this century to date. (209 words)
In the case of the last virus, the most ideal carrier animal for is a bat or snake, since humans don't consume snakes and bats in several areas of the world, but in some places like China they are consumed, and it is suspected that the new outbreak is also linked to the consumption of an infected bat. The same is the cause for other virus outbreaks in the past.
To prevent future epidemics, governments must take action on making policies for the sale and purchase of livestock like bats and snakes, and proper testing should be done before taking wild animals to the big markets near denser urban areas. One is the virus being brought into the market by an infected individual, the second is about the virus getting in the market with one infected animal, and the third predicts about the virus getting in the market with the help of several animals at once.
This book covers the following topics:
A Brief History
Business Risk and Continuity Planning
Who Is Most At Risk?
Modern Virus
Protecting Yourself Using Mask
...and much more
As far as animals are concerned, numerous contagious diseases have been transmitted from animals to humans by living with them and consuming them. Viruses keep adapting to different organisms and somewhere in between some humans consume them and get infected with a new type of viral or bacterial infection.
At this time, many people are wondering about how the actual outbreak started. Many suspected the Seafood Market to be the origin of the outbreak. But now the latest paper written by a large group of Chinese researchers from various institutions offers in-depth details about the people who got admitted into the hospital. It is said in the paper that the first person was admitted to the hospital no connection with the Seafood Market was found, and the number of people unrelated to the seafood market was a large percentage, according to Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University.
But it doesn't mean the virus hasn't been spread through the Seafood market, as many stalls were tested and showed a positive sign of the virus. Well, it is impossible to find an exact place of origin for this infectious and contagious disease, but it is also believed that it spread from animals to humans and then reached the Seafood Market, where it got a chance to infect the rest of the visitors in market.
Furthermore, Lucey says that the virus should have been transmitted between people just before because all of the viral diseases require a certain incubation period before showing any symptoms. Now it is very clear that the virus arrived in Seafood Market before getting transmitted to the population.

Описание: A concise and comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, including plague, tubercolosis, smallpox, malaria, cholera, and HIV.
God's silence in the midst of human suffering is a great mystery of our existence. Faced with mass suffering, such as pandemics, plagues, and natural disasters, we may wonder whether God actually cares about us or whether He just says that He does.
Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What is God Saying to Us? helps explain the role of God in suffering. Dr. Erwin Lutzer examines how God uses tragedies throughout the Bible to speak to His people, and that, ultimately, God always has our wellbeing in mind even when He doesn't relieve our immediate pain. Perhaps most importantly, find lasting joy and relief by learning how times of such widespread trouble reveal God's ultimate plans for our salvation from all temporary and eternal suffering.

Описание: These are dark and darkening times, challenging us to look deeper to grasp the roots and dynamics of the looming civilizational crisis. Chronic illness of the planet calls for radically new thinking if there is to be any hope of renewal. When We Are Human offers thought at a necessary and primal level. All previous civilizations have failed, and now there's just one global civilization, which is starkly, grandly failing. To deny or avoid this fact is to remain in the sphere of the superficial, the irrelevant. The physical environment is reaching the catastrophe stage as the seas warm, rise, acidify, and fill with plastics. Icebergs ahead and floating past beachgoers idly watching the planet die. So much is failing, so much is interrelated in the technosphere of ever-greater dependence and estrangement. Social existence, now strangely isolated, is beset by mass shootings, rising suicide rates, slipping longevity, loneliness, anxiety, and the maddening stream of lies and concocted politics. Zerzan trains his passionate focus on several fields of discourse: anthropology, history, philosophy, technology, psychology, and the spiritual. Points of light that become a kaleidoscope refracting new insights and contributing an overall picture of late civilization.
