About this trail:

1.There are three types of influenza viruses, A, B and C. There is a risk of a Pandemic

2.This source makes me wonder if the avian flu was spread around enough and we had no way of treating it a pandemic could occur which could kill alot of people. Globalization plays a factor in this because if people travel while they are sick or carrying the virus it will spread globally. This now creates new problems. But luckily with new technologies and new medicines we can now treat more diseases and viruses than ever before.

3.This is a reliable source because it came from a .co.uk and it is from a very popular news broadcast website known world wide. It also has dates of authours as well specific doctors names.

1. The first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) came in November 2002 and killed 800 people around the world. Main symtoms are high fever, dry cough, shortness of breath or breathing diffculties, pneumonia, confusion, rashes and diarrhea. Sars is highly infectious and contagious. The SARS virus orginated in China and quickly spread to Tronoto where 600 people died.

2. This makes me think that we should have laws when pandemics break out. The governemnt should ban any airline travel if you are seriously ill. They could find a way to test travelers before they leave the country that way it will help prevent spread to other countries around the world

1. Acute contagious disease. Viral and has caused outbreaks

2. This makes me think that if outbreaks have happened in the past that they can happen again.

3.This is a realiable source because it is a well known organization

1.World needs a global system that can identify harmful public health emergencies. This can be done by reducing the amount of trade and travel when sick.

2. This makes me think that if we are trading and importing goods like food from other countries. Serious illness or dieases can easily be spread across the world. Which in some cases could create a pandemic.

3. This is a realiable source because it is a international organization.

1. Meningitis spreads through close contact. Sharing, sneezing or coughing, and physical contact can spread germs.

2. If we think how much we come in contact with people everyday, how much we touch door knobs, shake hands, and even sneeze. Meningitis spreads very easily and is a deadly virus. It can be easily treated with antibiotics if caught early. But if someone who lives in Canada travels to Africa and transmits the virus to a poverty strucken town. The people living there don't have access to doctors or medicine and are usually already weak to begin with. This virus that could easliy be treated could wipe out that entire town.

3. This is a realiable source because it is a foundation and is a .ca website.
