What are the four main types of pathogens?
100

SARS-CoV-2

What is the name of the virus which causes COVID-19

100
Globes, textbook illustrations of an atom, toy dinosaurs.
What are examples of models?
100
Refers to an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area.
What is an epidemic?
100
This is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease.
What is a vaccine?
200
These can cause sickness, diarrhoea, rashes and life-threatening fevers. They turn your cells into factories to make more copies of these pathogens. HIV is an example.
What are viruses?
200

60-80%

What is the concentration of alcohol recommended to make disinfectants effective?

200
It allows us to view a concept or object that we would not be able to observe otherwise. Additionally if designed well it can help us understand a concept and make predictions or plans based on our new understanding.
What are the advantages of models?
200
Is the sudden occurrence of a disease in a community, which has never experienced the disease before or when cases of that disease occur in numbers greater than expected in a defined area. The 2014 Ebola scenario in West Africa started as this, which initially affected three countries.
What is an outbreak?
200
Macrophage, T-cell, B-cell, dendritic cell....
What are components of the immune system?
300
They can cause sickness and diarrhoea in your intestines, and life-threatening infections in tissues all over your body. They use a flagella to help the move.
What is E. coli
300

December, 2019 in Wuhan, China

When (and where) was COVID-19 first emerging as a documented outbreak?

300
It is only a representation and not the real thing. Therefore it will only be accurate to a certain extent. These can vary widely in quality and so if we will make predictions or plans based on them we need them to be of the highest quality in order to avoid making errors.
What are the disadvantages/weaknesses of models?
300
Name the outbreak that occurred in London in 1854 that was stopped by the scientific analysis of Dr. John Snow.
What is cholera?
300
Proteins in the blood that are produced by the body in response to specific antigens (such as bacteria). Each microbe has different shapes on its surface, that only match one of these.
What are antibodies?
400
Those that survive in our digestive systems cause severe diarrhoea. They can use cilia to move around. They come in many different sizes and shapes.
What are protists or protozoa?
400

Wear a mask, regularly wash hands with soap and water, maintain a safe social distance of at least one meter.

What are the most effective individual strategies to help prevent the spread of COVID-19?

400
Dr. John Snow, the Centre for Disease Control, Epidemiologists
What is groups or people that use models to help prevent the spread of disease.
400
This refers to an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people. The black death or small pox would be examples.
What is a pandemic?
400
This is a toxin or other foreign substance (such as an invading microbe) which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies
What is an antigen?
500
They grow by making new cells, and spread using spores, which float around in the air. Penicillium roqueforti is an example.
What is fungi?
500

March 11, 2020

When did the World Health Organization declare COVID-19 a pandemic?

500
In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number (sometimes called basic reproductive ratio, or incorrectly basic reproductive rate, and denoted) of an infection can be thought of as the number of cases one case generates on average over the course of its infectious period, in an otherwise uninfected population
What is R nought or Ro?
500

novel coronavirus

What term is used to describe the shape and condition of the SARS-CoV-2 virus?

500
These are are prescription medicines (pills, liquid, an inhaled powder, or an intravenous solution) that fight against viral infection in your body. These drugs are not sold over-the-counter. You can only get them if you have a prescription from your doctor or health care provider. These drugs are different from antibiotics, which fight against bacterial infections.
What are anti-viral drugs?
