The Influence of Influenza – Epidemics Pandemics and Everything In-between

University of California Television (UCTV)

Published on Dec 2, 2013

(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Influenza is the number one vaccine-preventable disease in the United States. Experts estimate that up to 50,000 people may die in the United States annually as a complication of influenza infection. Yet, influenza is often ignored as a serious illness, and despite the availability of an effective and relatively inexpensive vaccine, many people choose not to get vaccinated. Dr. Janice K. Louie, California Department of Public Health, reviews the epidemiologic, clinical and public health aspects of influenza epidemics and pandemics and explores the myths and misunderstandings surrounding vaccination.

The Super Storm: Typhoon Haiyan has taken the Philippines to the brink, but what’s in store next for the stunned island nation?

Typhoon Haiyan was a monster made of wild wind and water, which ravaged the Philippines with frightening ferocity. As the nation struggles to recover, there are fears that this is the first of many.

In recorded history, no wind has has hit land with greater force. Along with the surging sea it dragged onshore, it meant that thousands would soon be dead and more than 4 million people displaced. It’s a catastrophe that would challenge the wherewithal of any nation, but when your people are scattered across thousands of islands, how can The Philippines recover? What’s most terrifying is that some worry that climate change may make these super typhoons a regular occurrence. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster a Filipino UN delegate made an impassioned call for change. “We can take drastic action now to ensure that we prevent a future where super typhoons become a way of life.” Now as the Filipinos struggle to cope with the total devastation, deeper economic issues caused by years of pollution and overfishing will plague the archipelago even more in their struggle to rebuild. “This island was surrounded by coral reefs but now they’re all gone – from coral bleaching, over fishing and warming of the waters”, says politician Vince Escario sadly.
