The place that we chose to place our public health sticker was the Muvico Starlight 20 movie theater. The reason we picked this location is because of the movie, "Contagion" that premiered on Friday, September 9, 2011. This movie is about the bird flu and how when it first showed up, it took the world by storm. Most people did not understand the disease or how it was being transmitted, and this caused terror and fear around the world. Also because of this, the transmission was causing death and the officials were not sure how serious the disease was or how to stop it. The fact that the disease could be turned into a weapon was a scary thought, for not only officials, but the community as well. With the way that the disease was going, it was transforming itself into more resistant strands. This represents public health because the whole movie is about controlling this strand of bird flu and trying to keep the public safe and healthy, and this is the main goal of public health. During the movie, they are using epidemiology to find out the source of the disease, and to find a cure, treatment, and a vaccine for this disease. Also during the movie, they are trying to let the public know what is going on in order to keep them safe, so they know how to protect themselves. This is important because it is the job of public health to keep the public safe and informed about diseases.

I watched the movie and it was really good and informative. It is a scary thought about easily a diesease can be transmitted and affecting the general population. It kind of remind me of the movie "Resident Evil" except we are not turning into zombies. However, we have to becareful of our surroundings and always be aware.
ReplyDeleteI want to see this movie! From reading your parent post it sound like this movie sticks true to an epidemic. Usually the populations misunderstanding, and ignorance play key roles in the accelerated spread. Hopefully, Contagion mentioned accurate public health practices to stop and slow the epidemic while informing the viewer.
ReplyDeleteThis is a movie that i actually wanted to watch. i wondered how realistic the movie would portray a real epidemic, and by the description you provided it seems as though it did. This movie is a good way to raise awareness on the importance of public health and prevention methods. It is also interesting on how the movie mutates the original disease; making strands that are more resistant, which is a very real situation. overall its good to see that the public is becoming more aware of public health, at least in the movies.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was mentioned in my Virology class, just last week! This was a very clever/creative idea to pick for a public health issue and shows the importance of prevention and what occurs during a crisis situation of this magnitude. As I have learned in my Virology class, viruses are hard to eliminate because of the difficulty in making vaccines that can combat it. The movie (as I was told by my Virology professor) is fairly accurate in the depiction of what occurs when pandemic breaks out. I am looking forward to watching it!
ReplyDeleteI also want to watch the movie, not for the purpose of public health but i like to watch society burn. However i think that it is cool that it stuck to the epidemiology standards.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
