information, explain how the contagion traveled around the world and developed. Be sure to include detail, and use

your vocabulary words.

Answer 1

The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly spread around the world through airborne transmission and human contact. The global nature of our lives, including international travel and urban settings, facilitated the spread. Public health measures like quarantine and hygiene practices are crucial in controlling the spread of contagious diseases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The COVID-19 virus spreads through airborne transmission when someone inhales droplets expelled by an infected person coughing, sneezing, or exhaling. The disease started spreading in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread to other countries through international travel. The virus has now spread to almost every country in the world, facilitated by global air travel.

The concentration of large numbers of people in urban settings also contributed to the spread of the virus through touch. Infected individuals can spread the virus by touching non-infected persons or objects, which are then touched by non-infected persons.

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the rapid spread of contagious diseases in today's globalized world, highlighting the importance of public health measures, such as quarantine and hygiene practices, in controlling the spread.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

• It all began, when Beth Emhoff contracted the MEV-1 virus from a chef(by shaking hands) in Hong Kong, who had previously handled a slaughtered infected pig(the bat dropped afruit,which was infected with virus, and the pig eats it)
• She dropped her phone which was picked up for her by a woman(thus infecting her), who later flew to London.
• The waitor picked her glass, and contracted the disease. The waitor daily commutes to Hong Kong from Guangdong province.
• On the way to Minneapolis, she has a stopover at Chicago airport. There she meets her ex boyfriend. She sleeps with him thus infecting him as well.
• She then travels back home in Minneapolis, and spreads the virus to her son by touching him.

And this is how the virus spread all around the world
