For this discussion, please pick a pandemic you want to focus on (NOTE: You may not pick COVID-19, you will see why below)
please answer these questions..

Identify your pandemic. Please be specific- describe the disease, the rate of infection, and how the disease is primarily transmitted.
Trace the origin of your pandemic. Where did it start and how and when did it evolve from an epidemic to a pandemic? Are there any specific groups who were impacted more than others? 
What methods were used to help control disease transmission? Has the disease been eradicated? If so, how? Again, please be specific in your answers. 
What lesson did the public health community learn from this disease? What recommendations do you have for addressing pandemics in the future based on the history of this disease?
Are there any strategies that were used to reduce the rate of infection that can be applied to reducing the number of new cases (incidence) of COVID-19 specifically in vulnerable populations? Provide at least 2 concrete strategies based on past pandemic research to help reduce COVID-19.
Respond to a classmate about their recommendations for #5 above.

5. Strategies used to reduce rate of transference of HIV would not work for COVID-19. As much as they are both viruses found in bodily fluids, they attack different parts of the parts of the body and therefore have different transference methods. Unlike HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 spreads through social contact like kissing, hugging, being in an enclosed area with an infected person. Therefore, using HIV disease-prevention strategies on COVID-19 would not be feasible. One of the strategies WHO,2020 suggested was to mobilize all sectors and communities to guarantee that every level of government and society is involved in the response and prevention of cases through hand cleanliness, respiratory etiquette, and individual-level physical separation. The second strategy was to develop vaccinations and medicines that are safe and effective, can be provided at scale, and are accessible depending on need (WHO, 2020).
