Corona (or any other disease) can be easily understood on the basis of epidemiological triad: agent, host and environment. These three factors determine the occurrence of a disease. Host factors include personal factors like age, sex, race, general health, etc. Environmental factors would be weather and climate, locations, etc. Just like we see an increased incidence of pox in kids around the time of late winter and early spring, Corona is apparently striking people with weaker immunity in mostly temperate regions.
Doctors, People with Masters Degree in Public Health and WHO experts should take such decisions. Doctors advise against panicking. Politicians and Media people should refrain from spreading panic, bans. I was watching a TV channel where anchor was saying that it is due to eating eggs, chicken . they are all useless theories. Someone is saying that it is Heavy virus
Chapter proposals are invited for an edited book examining global portrayals of the coronavirus in diverse print, broadcast, and online media, including but not limited to newspapers, magazines, social media, television, podcasts, and popular culture.
The book will be published in December 2020. Interested authors should send a 300-word abstract, 200-word biography, and sample of a previously published chapter or article to Douglas Vakoch, PhD, at [email protected] by April 3, 2020. Authors whose proposals have been accepted will be notified by April 6, 2020, and full chapters are due by June 1, 2020. The book targets an academic and professional audience, and all chapters should include scholarly references. Preference will be given to authors who have completed their doctorates. Only previously unpublished works will be considered. This book will appear in the series Environment and Society, which includes such works as Environment, Social Justice, and the Media in the Age of the Anthropocene.
Though the book will focus on media portrayals of the coronavirus, proposals for introductory chapters that provide broader scientific and cultural context for understanding the coronavirus and COVID-19 are also invited. In addition to chapters written from the perspective of such disciplines as communication, media studies, and popular culture, contributions from other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences are also encouraged. Rhetorical analyses are especially welcome, as are chapters that provide historical context by comparing contemporary responses to the coronavirus to media coverage of SARS, the Spanish flu, and other public health crises. To cover the global scope of the coronavirus threat, we seek contributions from around the world. To ensure relevance, each chapter will conclude with insights and recommendations to foster effective media coverage of this global public health crisis.
