“…Fatores como concentração de homens, circulação de tropas, mobilização / desmobilização de soldados, quartéis lotados, reuniões relacionadas à propaganda de guerra criaram um ambiente favorável para uma pandemia, assim como, os pratos sujos, as moscas, a poeira, ou mesmo as condições adversas do clima. Algumas más decisões foram tomadas, como evitar a quarentena e proibições de viagens para avanços militares (Matta et al, 2020). Em campos sobrelotados, o risco de gripe aumentou 10 vezes (Nickol et al, 2019).…”

A Gripe Espanhola, também chamada Pneumónica, foi uma pandemia causada pelo subtipo H1N1 de influenza, que surgiu em 1918, no último ano da I Guerra Mundial. O vírus afetava os pulmões e as vias respiratórias, provocava hemorragia pulmonar e infeção bacteriana secundária. Não se sabe a origem, mas ficou conhecida como Gripe Espanhola, já que os jornais espanhóis reportaram amplamente os efeitos do vírus no país, pois Espanha assumiu uma posição neutra na guerra, não sendo praticada a censura na imprensa. A pandemia disseminou-se por várias partes do mundo e teve três ondas, sendo que a segunda, no outono de 1918, foi responsável por elevadas taxas de morbilidade e mortalidade. No geral resultou em cerca de 500 milhões de infetados por todo o mundo e, em mais de 50 milhões de mortes. Distinguiu-se pela elevada mortalidade em jovens adultos. Portugal foi um país muito afetado. A Gripe Espanhola chegou ao país através do Alentejo, durante os meses de junho e julho de 1918. Pretendemos, com o presente artigo, refletir sobre como a partir da pandemia de 1918-1919 desenvolveu-se o conhecimento científico na área da saúde pública e como os avanços científicos subsequentes facilitaram o desenvolvimento de medidas preventivas, incluindo vacinas e antivirais. Muitas lições da pandemia de Gripe Espanhola foram aprendidas e contribuíram para a história da ciência na prevenção de outras potenciais pandemias e epidemias que decorreram ou foram prevenidas no século XX e início do século XXI incluindo a pandemia da Covid-19.

“… 29 Finally, Matta et al compare and contrast the public mitigating measures between the 1918 Pandemic and the Covid-19 pandemic. 30 First, they assert that confusion and the public mitigating measures implemented to contain the 1918 Pandemic affected the day-to-day lives of citizens, whereas during the Covid-19 pandemic various businesses have been affected due to the Covid 19 pandemic, especially the tourism/airline/hospitality industries, etc. 30 Matta et al reveal that the 1918 virus could spread to other tissues beyond the respiratory tract, resulting in more widespread damage.…”

Clinical data to be used as a foundation to combat Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy

The coronavirus has become the paramount subject in peoples’ lives, affecting and disrupting virtually every aspect of society, as the pandemic casts a shadow over the world. The facts, myths, and conspiracy theories centered on the Covid-19 pandemic have dominated social media accounts, local and national newspapers, as well as television programs. Strategies need to be evolved to counter Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and mitigate health disparities in at-risk populations. Overcoming misinformation and distrust will require an interdisciplinary approach to deal with Covid-19. The purpose of this review is to offer a factual basis to all healthcare providers to assist in framing strategies to mitigate vaccine hesitancy and achieve herd immunity to combat the deadly Covid-19 pandemic. First an overview of the discovery of the viruses and their molecular structures will be presented. Secondly, a historical perspective is offered, comparing the differences between the 1918 flu pandemic and the current covid-19 pandemic. Lastly, an overview for proposed techniques and methods to counter and or mitigate covid-19 vaccine misinformation that may be used by an interdisciplinary team will be offered narratively and graphically.

“…Different synergic teams collaborate to control a pandemic. For example, in the case of COVID-19, the health department understands the situation and tries to raise awareness to decrease the spread of the disease; emergency call centers receive suspected cases; emergency response teams send ambulance vehicles; the police department and civil defense are involved in imposing the lockdown in high-risk areas (Shanker et al, 2020).…”

Knowledge-Based Decision Support System for Emergency Management: The Pandemic Framework

Emergency management systems (EMS) assist emergency managers to resolve emergencies on hand, through analyzing the emergency characteristics and consolidating data from different departments that are involved in resolving the emergency. Many countries have adopted various forms of EMS that are specialized in resolving one type of emergency, and studies demonstrate their effectiveness in producing better decisions. However, the COVID-19 pandemic uncovered the lack of a comprehensive framework that could deal with different emergencies. It also revealed the inability of the current systems to communicate with each other to retrieve the needed data. The aim of this study is to show the current state of EMS in emergency departments by constructing a framework for a knowledge-based decision support system for emergency management focusing on resolving pandemics. Qualitative approach was adopted in this research, where the authors reviewed emergency management in general and pandemics in specific. Existing EMS systems were investigated, and knowledge- based decision support systems were explored. Approaches for integration, communication, and collaboration were also studied. As a result of this study, a comprehensive framework, i.e., a knowledge- based decision support system for emergency departments, focusing on resolving pandemics was introduced. The framework was validated by a domain expert who provided insights and suggestions for future research. While the primary research focus is to assist emergency managers in resolving the COVID-19 pandemic, the proposed framework is unique by adopting different approaches and techniques that enable the system to deal with various emergencies not limited to the current pandemic.
