Transmission and Symptoms of the Research Paper

S. inhabitants would be vaccinated and thus the spread of influenza mitigated.

In regards to flu transmission, the virus can be transferred in numerous ways. First according to the CDC, influenza a is found in many different animal products. These products include, ducks, chickens, pigs, and whales. According to the CDC, "Wild birds are the primary natural reservoir for all subtypes of influenza a viruses and are thought to be the source of influenza a viruses in all other animals. Most influenza viruses cause asymptomatic or mild infection in birds; however, the range of symptoms in birds varies greatly depending on the strain of virus." These symptoms can provide wide spread fatalities among wild animals.

Influenza B, circulate widely through human interaction. Symptoms include runny nose, sore throat, coughing, congestion, and nausea. More importantly, in regards to transmission, if an animal such as a pig is infected with a human influenza virus and an avian influenza virus at the same time, the viruses could mix and produce a new virus. This virus could have profound implications for human society as a vaccine may not appropriate address the transmission (2).

2. Develop four (4) questions or concerns that you anticipate that leadership in your organization will ask you in regard to possible side effects of the treatments.Provide the rationale behind your four (4) questions.

Question 1- What will be the cost to society of these treatments?

Rationale- Will societies pay for this treatment even though 47% of society does not pay taxes? Will the states administer treatment or will this fall under federal government jurisdiction. This is important due to the capital allocation concerns of government and its subsequent revenue generation

Question 2- How will society pay for these treatments of immigrants and other aliens who come into the country illegally

Rationale- Should society administers treatment to those who have entered the country illegally. These individuals pay not taxes and therefore do not contribute to revenues needed to generate and administer treatment.

Question 3- Will the side effects give rise to another epidemic different than that of the flu epidemic? If so, will it be more or less profound than the flu epidemic

Rationale- as mentioned earlier, in some instances, separate strands of influenza can mix together to form an entirely new stain of virus. Will the side effects administered by treatments create a similar problem? If so, will society be worse off by administered a treatment for one problem, if that treatment subsequently gives rise to an entirely new threat?

Question 4- Should….....
