Book Description
Emanating from a working group of the American Psychological Association, this comprehensive volume provides a blueprint for pandemic preparedness for health and mental health professionals. It reviews the actual experiences faced by practitioners during the current Covid crisis, and provides historical context of past health crises, such as the 1918 flu epidemic. Lessons learned from previous health disasters are utilized to provide guidelines and best practices for managing large scale health crises. The goal of this book is to offer the tools for health providers to mobilize, collaborate and provide effective and compassionate services. Relevant to psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and others, this volume is an invaluable resource for the present and for the inevitable pandemics to come.

Book Description
A practical action plan for reinventing healthcare in a post-pandemic world—from a physician-entrepreneur who works with Fortune 500 companies. If the healthcare system were an emperor, Covid-19 tragically revealed that it had no clothes. Healthcare had to adapt, and quickly―sparking a dramatic acceleration of virtual care, drive-through testing, and home-based services. In the process, old rules were rewritten and, perhaps surprisingly, largely in a good way for patients. To succeed in the post-pandemic world, all of us―patients, caregivers, providers, employers, investors, technologists, and policymakers―need to understand the new healthcare landscape and change our strategies and behaviors accordingly. In Care After Covid, practicing physician and business leader Dr. Shantanu Nundy—Chief Medical Officer of Accolade, which provides technology-enabled health services to Fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses―lays out a comprehensive plan to transform healthcare along three dimensions: Distributed: healthcare will happen where health happens. It will shift from where doctors are to where patients are—at home, in the community, and increasingly on their phones. Digitally enabled: healthcare and the relationships that are central to care will be strengthened by data and technology. It will shift from being siloed to connected, from being episodic to continuous, from one-size-fits-all to more personalized. Decentralized: healthcare decisions and resources will be in the hands of those closest to care. The power to determine who gets care and how they get it will shift away from governments and insurance companies to communities, employers, doctors, and patients. Filled with firsthand insights and stories from the frontlines of healthcare—as well as innovative solutions that were proven effective before and during the pandemic—Care After Covid shows all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem exactly what needs to change and, more importantly, how to do it. The time to act is now. We can’t afford not to.

Book Description
New York Times Bestseller For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’s taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19. The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl’s science project on transmission of an airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A local public-health officer uses her worm’s-eye view to see what the CDC misses, and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines, has everything necessary to fight the pandemic: brilliant backgrounds, world-class labs, prior experience with the pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu…everything, that is, except official permission to implement their work. Michael Lewis is not shy about calling these people heroes for their refusal to follow directives that they know to be based on misinformation and bad science. Even the internet, as crucial as it is to their exchange of ideas, poses a risk to them. They never know for sure who else might be listening in.

Book Description
Concerns exist that a more severe pandemic outbreak than 2009¿s could cause large numbers of people staying home to increase their Internet use and overwhelm Internet providers¿ network capacities.

The Dept. of Homeland Security is responsible for ensuring that critical telecommunications infrastructure is protected. This report examined a pandemic¿s impact on Internet congestion and what actions can be and are being taken to address it, the adequacy of securities market organizations¿ pandemic plans, and the SEC oversight of these efforts. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Book Description
If an influenza epidemic strikes the United States, what will the nationwide impacts be? This surprising October 2009 report of the United States Government Accountability Office explores one probable result: the likely Internet congestion as workers stay home and attempt to telecommute, particularly as this congestion would affect the securities markets. Attacking the responsible government agencies-including the Department of Homeland Security-as well as key market participants in the private sector for their collective lack of appropriate strategic planning, this blistering report offers recommendations for immediate action and provides a startling look at the procedures-and lack thereof-of those who should be preparing for the worst contingencies... but aren't. The GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE was established in 1921 as the audit, evaluation, and investigative arm of the United States Congress.

Book Description
No one needs to die! Overcoming the Darkness of COVID is about two doctors who used a treatment protocol early in the pandemic and early in treatment when the conventional wisdom issued was not to provide any treatment to patients and send them home until they got sick and then go to the hospital where they were then often put on breathing machines - many of whom died. To the contrary, every one of the patients Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed treated early in the illness recovered and there were NO deaths. They also treated those who were severely sick and only lost a few. The treatment protocol they used included pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients and has proven to be highly effective and safe with COVID, especially when caught early. This book is their story complete with testimonials from patients and other doctors, research studies, news clippings, and most of all, the reasons why this successful treatment was held back from the public. Overcoming the Darkness of COVID is a must read for anyone concerned about their health and successfully negotiating the pandemic. Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson have been on my radio and TV shows throughout the pandemic doing everything they could to inform the American public about the COVID-19 virus and their treatment protocols which have saved thousands of lives. Sean Hannity, radio and TV host How many more people would be alive today had the medical establishment followed the example of Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed instead of heeding arrogant bureaucrats who recommended no treatment for COVID-19 until it was often too late? Senator Ron Johnson, Wisconsin In Imperial County, CA, a hotspot for COVID in the US based on per capita COVID cases and deaths, our Church members took the protocol Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson recommended with amazing results- ZERO deaths!

Book Description
This briefing reviews the experiences of minorities and indigenous peoples in Egypt during the Covid-19 pandemic, including their living conditions and access to public health services. In particular, it focuses on the experiences of Nubians, Bedouins and Amazigh in the border regions of Aswan, Sinai and Matrouh. While the dispatch of mobile health clinics to the most neglected areas can provide some relief, there is still an urgent need to address the root causes of the health care crisis. New policies addressing both education and health in those areas can help to resolve the issues most effectively. For minority and indigenous communities resident there, who already contend with high levels of poverty and marginalization, the need is especially acute. In all three regions, despite a general surge in spending on health care across the country, many shortcomings remain. The briefing closes with a set of recommendations to address these challenges, focused on targeted prioritization measures in border regions, greater attention to training and capacity building of local personnel, as well as sustainable delivery, with more budget dedicated to staff development and service improvements.
