From the beginning of the Coronavirus crisis in March of 2020, the media and politicians engaged in myths, half-truths, and even flat-out lies to bring about obedience from the populace. Charade tackles these myths one by one, laying bare the brazen power grab by governors, experts, and corporations all seeking to bend the American people to their will. David Marcus combines his reporting on the Coronavirus crisis with a cultural deep dive into how those in power used the emergency to consolidate power and change the very concept of American freedoms. Government, media, advertisers, and scientists all sought to set an agenda to strip Americans of their rights. From church attendance to running a business, right down to how many people can be in a private home, few rights were left wholly unchecked. What’s worse is that any challenge to the holy laws of lockdowns were criticized and censored as dangerous and deadly speech. The question that remains is whether Americans will ever allow this to happen again. Now the lies of 2020 can be revealed. No, Americans weren’t all in it together. It was not as simple as “trust the science.” Donald Trump was not a villain, Andrew Cuomo was not a hero, and lockdowns did vastly more harm than good. As America awakens from the nightmare of the Coronavirus crisis, it must learn lessons from it—but the first step is an honest accounting of all the rank dishonesty.

In recent days, people around the world are living in panic and panic when the severe coronary pneumonia virus is raging in Wuhan City - in central China. Currently, on January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the corona virus epidemic to be a global emergency medical condition. This makes the people 's spirit even more confused. Where I live and work, in Vietnam, family members rushed to buy medical masks. Many businesses have taken advantage of this worrying psychology to profit, selling medical masks and hand sanitizer for 10 to 12 times the normal price. Of course the government and authorities have stepped in to stabilize the situation, but people's psychology is still insecure. As a doctor, I believe that the panic comes from people not being fully equipped with corona virus, how it spreads, as well as medical masks that help protect against viral infections or not, how to use medical masks properly and effectively. So I wrote this booklet, with the desire to give people a true - simple - useful understanding of corona virus and how to prevent it from spreading in the community. Specifically include: 1. Basic knowledge of corona virus, as well as how it is transmitted in the community. What to do if you have signs of someone infected with corona virus? 2. What types of medical masks are used and work to prevent corona virus infection in the community? And how to use medical masks properly and effectively. 3. Some important notes to improve the body's resistance, help fight corona virus effectively. Sincerely thank you!

This book highlights the impact of COVID-19 on sustainable waste management and air emission, using various case studies. The year 2020 was a historical year mainly due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and it influenced or affected the global economy, business models and the industrial sectors, thus impacting sustainability in various ways. Given that sustainability has many faces and facets, it is worthwhile to deal with the relation (or impact) of COVID-19 on various elements of sustainability. This book presents how COVID-19 has influenced waste management and air quality.

The Covid-19 crisis and the designed interventions that the authors have catalogued in this book prove definitively that design does care. The authors documented this as it evolved every day from the 1st January 2020 to 31st May 2020 inclusive. Then they looked at all of this care and caring from the point of view of design and, by the sheer volume of design interventions they have documented, illustrate that design is good in a crisis. What the Covid-19 pandemic illustrated is that for the first time in modern history, capital was totally irrelevant. Money could not save your life. Only design could. Rapidly designed masks, shelters, hospitals, instructional posters, infographics, dashboards, respirators, sanitisers, virtual and local communities emerged to save us. From January 2020, design became king. The Covid-19 global pandemic presented an ontological reality; design is more than margins or profit. In fact, design became extremely valuable when it stopped concentrating on those things and started to care about peoples’ lives. This brief episode in history is still repositioning the status of design and reconfiguring its signifier from consumption to care. The contents of this book cover the outbreak, lockdown, and the beginning of the reopening in the UK. In between, the book functions as a history of pandemic crisis design interventions. As such it is a “research-in-the-moment project” where we have illustrated our thoughts and insights in tables, charts and diagrams. We have accepted all design interventions as valid and given them the same role and status by presenting each of them in a standard format. No curation. No selection. No position. The task of critical analysis must follow – perhaps by us, certainly by others.

Consolidating multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses into a single volume, this comprehensive textbook also addresses health policies, mass casualty planning, healthcare worker safety, economic impact, lessons for future outbreaks, and other para-clinical and social aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The text presents a thorough summary and critical analysis of COVID-19 based on an exhaustive review of recently published literature and data. Topics include the virologic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2, pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations and consequences of COVID-19, prevention and transmission control, the pandemic’s indirect impact to the care and management of other diseases, passive immunotherapy and its implications, diagnostic and treatment approaches for critically ill patients, and more. Edited by leading ­practitioners at the forefront of COVID-19 research, this invaluable resource: Integrates clinical, radiological, and epidemiological data and discussion of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment Reviews the epidemiology, mechanisms of action, manifestations, and management of cardiovascular, neurological, and pulmonary diseases associated with COVID-19 Covers diagnostic technologies, includes radiologic imaging, and RT-PCR testing Explores therapeutic approaches for managing a variety of complications Discusses post-vaccination symptom management and implications of immunization Addresses COVID-19 in pediatrics, in cancer patients, and in patients with lung disease, diabetes, ­hypertension, obesity, and other underlying conditions Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A Clinical Guide is an indispensable source of information for all clinicians, researchers, epidemiologists, nurses, radiologists, and healthcare managers working to address any aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This introductory epidemiology book provides an easy approach to understanding infectious disease outbreaks. This book is perfect for anyone with an ambition to learn about health-related concepts and take on an intellectual challenge, including those with little to no background in public health. The book aims to spread awareness about epidemiology so that people can understand the impact of their actions and act responsibly in the future, as well as make the general population more prepared for the next public health crisis. It provides a friendly introduction to topics such as infectious diseases, epidemiological study designs, and a step-by-step breakdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. Editorial Reviews: "Stephanie, great job on this book. I enjoyed reading it and I see you did lots of research into it and you were right to the point. It reads very nicely and clearly. You are set to become a successful epidemiologist!!" - Dr. Roy Chemaly, MD, Director of Infection Control, MD Anderson Cancer Center; Professor of Epidemiology, University of Texas School of Public Health "Brilliant, easy-to-read, and an amazing resource for every ambitious epidemiology student. Epidemiology Unmasked provides a gentle introduction to the hallmark of public health—epidemiology. I read the book from beginning to end, and every moment was full of enjoyment and packed with information. The book serves a variety of purposes: a fun read for anyone, a textbook for gifted students, a scholarly guide for science competitions, among several others." - Dr. Zhaoming He, Professor of Bioengineering, Texas Tech University
