Considering these examples, consider the benefits of addressing smallpox and polio at the population level. What were the population health strategies that were used in the efforts to eradicate smallpox and polio?

Consider similarities and differences from an epidemiologic perspective among the smallpox and polio epidemics and that of COVID-19.

Think about how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address COVID-19.

What lessons from the use of infectious disease epidemiology in the past might be applicable to controlling COVID 19?

What are the benefits of addressing this issue at the population level as opposed to the individual level?

Assignment.

Briefly summarize the epidemiologic differences among the three diseases and how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address COVID-19.

Are there any lessons learned from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox and polio that could be applied to COVID-19?

Evaluate the benefits of addressing this health problem at the population level versus the individual level. Support your Discussion with information from this week’s Learning Resources and articles you have located in the Walden Library.
