"COVID-19 is a disease caused by a virus called SARS-CoV2. Like all viruses, it is far too small to be seen by the naked eye. Yet this virus and the disease it caused had an enormous impact on the world. Understanding COVID-19 explores how the virus and the disease work, examining what made them so dangerous and what health officials learned about fighting them"--Provided by publisher.

Looks at what a pandemic is, the different types of pandemics found throughout history, how diseases can be spread and what can be done to help stop them from spreading.

"This title reviews what a pandemic is and why it's causing students to learn from home. It also explains the ways distance learning is accomplished and the positive outcomes of learning from home, even if being away from friends and teachers is difficult"--Amazon.

Sunday school teacher Rachel Lynde, Felix, and Sara find themselves quarantined with the old curmudgeon, Alexander Abraham.

Although infectious disease outbreaks have long threatened the well-being of human societies, the realization that such epidemics and pandemics can be controlled or even prevented in the first place is recent. With advances in scientific understanding of disease and the development of technologies for the early detection of infectious agents, health agencies are better equipped for disease prevention and surveillance. This volume explores epidemic and pandemic threats and approaches to disease detection, prevention, and surveillance, relating them to concepts that lie at the foundation of STEM education. It also describes the steps readers can take to prepare for disease outbreaks.
