Case Study - "The Mystery of the Blue Death" Follow-up Questions:
What could have made John Snow's hypothesis about cholera more readily accepted during his several attempts?
Epidemiologists often make causal inferences about biological, social and environmental variables that contribute to disease outbreaks. Reflect on the Bradford-Hill criteria for causality and explain how we could describe the link between contaminated water and a cholera outbreak.
How would the sequence of events in this case study be different, if at all, in our current times? Why?
Respond -
1. In your opinion and assessment of the commonly used social media and online communication platforms, how effective are public health authorities in communicating epidemiologic findings (e.g. alerts about an outbreak) to the general population locally and globally?
2. What are the pros and cons that go along with using social media as a communication tool for epidemiological findings?
