Pandemic 101: Captive Classroom
Today we are introducing one of our long-planned projects called Consider the Source and along with its introduction, we will be presenting a series of short pieces related to COVID-19. We’ll typically offer articles more directly related to animals, but with a pandemic disrupting our lives, we thought a series shedding light on the subject of virulent diseases might be interesting. So, over the next couple of weeks, while we’re all housebound, we’ll be introducing a number of short pieces on viruses, contagion, pandemics, and a host of similar issues.
Huge thanks to our board member, Dr. J. Richard Schrock for providing the framework, expertise, and much of the writing for this series.
6-Part Series:
1- Viruses: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral?
2, Contagion Rates: How they are affected by knowledge and behavior
3. CFR and IFR explained (with a special guest appearance by Typhoid Mary)
4. Mice, chickens and the Spanish flu
NAIA focuses on improving animal wellbeing and preserving the human-animal bond. To accomplish this goal, it is necessary to provide fact-based explanations of complex, often emotionally charged animal issues, while exposing the hype and misinformation that often surrounds them. If our perception is not shaped by reality, even the best and brightest among us cannot reach sound decisions. We created Consider the Source to assist people as they seek factual information about widely misunderstood and controversial issues.
