A Virus That Sure Sounds Like It Causes The Zombie

Apocalypse Is Spreading Across The Americas
BY DAVID COVUCCI 01.25.16

Friends, meet the Zika virus. Health officials

havent explicitly stated that it will cause people
infected with it to rise from their graves and hunt
down the living, spreading death and bringing
about a global catastrophe, but that said, it kinda
sounds like it will, per Rueters.
The mosquito-borne Zika virus, which has been
linked to brain damage in thousands of babies in
Brazil, is likely to spread to all countries in the Americas except for Canada and
Chile, the World Health Organization said on Monday.
Brazils Health Ministry said in November that Zika was linked to a fetal deformation
known as microcephaly, in which infants are born with smaller-than-usual brains.
Now, Im not calling these babies zombie babies, because that would be insensitive,
but Im just saying. They could be zombie babies. Zombie babies that are going to
span the globe pretty soon. Because the Zika virus is already tearing across the
planet.
The clinical symptoms of Zika are usually mild and often similar to dengue, a fever
which is transmitted by the same Aedes aegypti mosquito, leading to fears that Zika
will spread into all parts of the world where dengue is commonplace.
Zikas rapid spread, to 21 countries and territories in the Americas since May 2015,
is due to the prevalence of Aedes aegypti and a lack of immunity among the
population, the WHO said in a statement.
Weve got nothing to stop its spread.
Weve got no drugs and weve got no vaccines. Its a case of deja vu because thats
exactly what we were saying with Ebola, said Trudie Lang, a professor of global
health at the University of Oxford. Its really important to develop a vaccine as
quickly as possible.
Ahhh. A deja vu of Ebola. Thats exactly what we all want to hear. That said, its not
that much of a concern to Bros, but it can be devastating to pregnant women.
From The BBC:
But the biggest concern is the potential impact on babies developing in the womb.
There have been around 3,500 reported cases of microcephaly babies born with
tiny brains in Brazil alone since October. Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and
Jamaica last week recommended women delay pregnancies until more was known
about the virus. Again, I dont want to say its because officials are afraid of zombie
babies.

TEXT 2
By Jonathan Hepburn
Updated 25 Jan 2016, 1:23pm

Zombies show how unprepared we are

for a serious pandemic
Although these studies appear frivolous, they have a serious message.
In a post on her science blog Aetiology, Dr Smith explained that she had frequently used the
attention paid to zombies to talk about infectious diseases with children and other audiences.
Although no one really expects a zombie outbreak, Dr Smith wrote, we have recently seen
new diseases including MERS, Zika virus, Chikungunya, Hendra, Nipah and pandemic
influenza as well as H5N1 and SARS.

It's way more fun for the average person to shoot the shit about zombies than
to have a more serious discussion.
Dr Tara Smith
The Ebola virus is still present in Guinea and Liberia more than a year after the first outbreak,
and the World Health Organisation has admitted failings in how it handled the crisis.
"And we are still unprepared for them when they become explosive, as Ebola did in 2014," Dr
Smith said.
The slow response to Ebola cost lives, "and that's for a virus that is not particularly easy to
transmit, as it's only spread late in the illness via direct contact with infected bodily fluids," she
added.
Dr Smith invites readers to imagine a zombie virus that is much more easily spread, "slowly
incubating in infected individuals as they move all over the globe. Definitely unprepared."
"Furthermore, even with our handful of cases in the US, we saw that the hype and
misinformation about Ebola was out of control," she said.
She said that using zombies gives researchers, public health officials, policy makers and
members of the public the ability to discuss the same serious issues the world would face in
any serious epidemic: coordination, funding, communication, training, and access to treatment
or prevention.
In her study, Dr Smith notes that zombie outbreaks are expensive and difficult to control, with
quarantine often failing or inadequate, which has parallels in real-life outbreaks and the legal
and ethical quandaries that arise.
"In short, it's way more fun for the average person to shoot the shit about zombies than to
have a more serious discussion about influenza, or Ebola, or whatever the infectious disease
du jour may be," she said.

WORKSHEET 3

In this activity, turn your class into a MINI PARLIAMENT. Divide your students into
three groups. Each group is given a scenario/situation related to the text that they
have read. They need to come up with their plans to cope with the issues given.

THE MINI PARLIAMENT

SITUATION 1
Suddenly a pandemic outbreak happens in your country. Your
scientists identified the Virus as EBOLA. A small village with a
population of 300 people were infected and have the potential to
spread the deadly virus to the whole nation. 121 villagers are
already dead. As the Prime Minister, what would be your actions ?

SITUATION 2
A survey was done in your country and it is revealed that
60% of your population are ignorant about the threats of a
pandemic. As the Prime Minister, what would be your
actions?

SITUATION 3
A neighbouring country is in trouble. The whole island is
being infected with SARS. Thousands of people have died.
Millions more are trying to flee the country. The President
of that country is begging you to help and open your
borders to his citizens. As the Prime Minister, what would
be your actions?

HEBAT Bacaan BI
Unit 2
ASSESSMENT PROJECT
A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease which causes devastating loss of lives around
the world. Therefore, the public should take the possibility of such a threat seriously. Hence,
it is vital for governments and NGOs to create awareness regarding diseases that could
erupt into a pandemic.
ACTIVITIES

STRATEGIES/
APPROACHES

STEP 1
a. Students pretend that they are scientists doing
research on highly contagious diseases.
b. Students prepare a 10 minute multimedia
presentation to create awareness on one of the
pandemic diseases as assigned.

Action Oriented Task

* Teachers can have the whole class do this project or

divide class into two large groups.
STEP 2
a. Have students consider these questions in their
discussion for the project:
What is a pandemic?
What would be the symptoms for the disease?
How is it transmitted?
What would be the possible treatments?
How could we prevent the disease from
spreading?
How do we find a cure to overcome the
pandemic?
If there are problems, what would be suitable
measures taken to solve or handle those
problems?

HOTS:
Creating

21st Century Learning :

ICT

* Encourage students to discuss other considerations

about the disease besides the questions above.
