6. What were the two headlines in New York Times on the influenza epidemic in 1918 – 1919. Answer: New York City
approached the 1918 influenza epidemic by making use of its existing robust
public health infrastructure. Health officials worked to prevent the spread
of contagion by distancing healthy New Yorkers from those infected,
increasing disease surveillance capacities, and mounting a large-scale health
education campaign while regulating public spaces such as schools and
theaters. Control measures, such as those used for spitting, were implemented
through a spectrum of mandatory and voluntary measures. |

11. What according to scientist was the cause of the worst and
biggest catastrophic mass mortality of coral reefs in the Pacific and
the Indian Ocean. When did this happen? Answer: In 2014, NOAA
Coral Reef Watch wrote in Reef Encounter about the prospect for a 2014-15 El
Niño (Eakin et al. 2014). While that El Niño never fully formed, it did help
set off a three-year global coral bleaching event -- the third ever
documented. A subsequent 2015-16 strong El Niño formed, spreading and
worsening the bleaching (Eakin et al. 2016), and a La Niña reared its head
thereafter, further extending the event into 2017, as predicted by Coral Reef
Watch. |
