How pandemics spread

Hello dear students!

In this post you'll find the video we watched last class. The idea is to reflect upon some concepts such as pandemics and how illnesses spread.


  • Watch the video again, choose and aswer one of the questions below:


a) How do you feel about the term "pandemics"? 

b) Imagine you're about to travel and you get to know that the destination you're going to is suffering from a pandemic. Would you travel the same? why? why not?

c) Which pandemics took place in Argentina? Do you remember the emergency measures that were taken in order to stop them?

d) What do you think of the video? Is it useful? Have you learnt anything new? why? why not?


DEADLINE: August, 17th

  1. Hello, I'm a martin.
    1) For me it feels like a disease-virus that spreads around the public and think that anyone who encounters can become infected with a deadly virus or think that someone has it that really matters and you can not see it because you could infect
    2) No, I would not travel because I would be afraid to infect myself and be exposed to a virus that is new to humanity
    3) The Spanish flu was the worst virus in history that faces humanity, the virus infects 20% of the world population and there were few coffins and funerals could only last 15 minutes. Despite all the measures taken and the effort to combat the pandemic was in vain. Simply what stopped the virus was the lack of a guest because a virus can not act on its own and if it needs a guest to act. Having killed so many people I reach a point where it does not continue to spread and that's how the pandemic ended
    4) I think q is an excellent video that talks about the subject of the pandemic, what I do not like is that it indirectly tells you that on any day at any time and at any time a pandemic can start in your city and the 1st infected can be Someone you care about or you. If I learned a lot about the pandemics q propogaron through the history. I did not learn what to do and start a pandemic in my city, the video only touches the issue from an external and not internal point of view.

  4. a) It makes me sick or weird to think that at some point the world can be ended by pandemics.
    b) Obviously not because I could infect my loved ones and my city.
    c) In the year 1918-1920: the so-called Spanish flu, caused by the H1N1 virus. I do not remember his precautions yet had not been born ... But I believe that during 2011 the same disease was followed that there were many dead and many had to be given Precautions.
    d) I do not like these videos for the reason that the world can end or something, for me it is useful in the sense that it gives us information about the diseases that there and there. And to be careful of anything,

    It depends on the type of pandemic, I would travell if there is a cure. But if there is no cure, I do not think I will.
