Hello students, here many questions are asked.
00:02
The first question is to identify and discuss the factors that would cause and promote the development and spread of the given novel human disease.
00:12
The first cause would be the virus being highly contagious and easily transmitted through respiratory droplets or contact with contaminated surfaces.
00:40
Next would be lack of immunity in the population due to the virus being new and unknown.
00:54
Next, international travel and globalization which can facilitate the spread of the virus across borders.
01:12
Next factor would be poor hygiene practices and inadequate sanitation which can increase the risk of transmission.
01:32
And finally, overcrowding and poor living conditions.
01:42
This can also facilitate the spread of the virus in the communities.
01:47
Next question is to explain how we can conduct the study to clarify the etiology and the risk factors for the pandemic.
01:57
The first thing would be laboratory testing to confirm the diagnosis and identify the genetic makeup of the virus.
02:11
Next would be case control studies to identify the risk factors for infection and severe disease.
02:22
Third would be cohort studies to track the progression of the disease and identify the factors that influence outcome.
02:31
And finally, environmental assessments to identify the potential sources of contamination and ways to prevent transmission.

Next question asked us to the important calculations that may be used to monitor the progress of this pandemic...
