About the Author:

Conrad Jennings realized that his professional career would be devoted to serving others. After overcoming a long-term illness in his childhood that kept him away from school for several years, Conrad grew up with a special interest in helping sick people.

Conrad comes from a family of pharmacists; this environment truly inspires his passion for medicine. In his formative years he volunteered at one of Baltimore, Marylands northern city hospitals, as well as collaborating with various associations that help people with long-term illnesses.

All this led Conrad to study a medical career and focus on the scientific study of diseases that are difficult to cure. He does everything possible to stop these diseases and understand where they come from.

He dedicated much of his life to childcare and infectious diseases in Africa. In recent years, he has moved to the Republic of the Congo to combat Malaria. We are grateful that Conrad Jennings has dedicated a space to disseminate best practices in health and prevention of infectious diseases based on your extensive experience.

Introduction

The threat of viral infections is real. If whats happened over the past few years is anything to go by, we live in a world where viral respiratory infections are coming up all the time. At any one point in time, there is always a country trying to overcome an outbreak of some infection. The current case in point: the whole world is struggling to find a solution to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Regarding the Coronavirus, for example, the pandemic has sent the entire world into panic mode. From a scientific perspective, most of the new viral infections over the past few years are of zoonotic origin. As a result of the crossover from animals to the human race, most of the treatments available are unresponsive to these viral infections. Other than the treatment problem, the transmission mechanism for these infections is also not very clear, so there is a lot of uncertainty around them, and this one of the reasons why infections like COVID-19, H5N1, SIV, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV become global pandemics in a short time.

In any case, while the scientific community is working round the clock to find cures to these diseases, what can everyone else do? We all have a role to play, regardless of whether you are a scientist or not. The greatest contribution you can make to the cause of stopping viral infections from spreading is prevention. When you protect yourself and those you love, in retrospect, you are saving the human race by putting a stopgap on the spread of viral infections. While learning how to stay safe might sound mundane, rest assured it counts as your greatest contribution to science.

Brought up in a family of pharmacists, I grew up helping people and this devotion influenced most of my decisions, even in my professional career. In my career in medicine, I have volunteered in hospitals and partnered with research teams all over the world. My encounter with different people and unique health problems in my global travels made me realize it is the simple things we take for granted that eventually make the big difference.

From Baltimore to the Congo and beyond, I devoted my life to not just trying to stop the spread of infectious diseases but also to understand where they originate and how. This knowledge is vital in stopping the spread of infections. Be it malaria, RSV, the seasonal flu, Coronavirus, you name it. The key to prevention is knowledge.

One of the areas where viral infections spread rapidly is in our personal relationships. These relationships are built on trust, and for that reason, you can let your guard down. Unfortunately, without proper measures in place, your loved ones are always at risk. In the face of a pandemic, protecting yourself and your loved ones is vital. How do you stay safe in your relationship? Protecting your loved ones while at the same time going about your normal life? A pandemic changes lives in more ways than you can imagine. Think about your social circle, dating life, the workplace. Imagine all the countries that have shut down operations in light of the Coronavirus. Schools have closed down, people are not going to work, and so on. Life changes suddenly, and prior preparedness can help you get through the traumatic experience.

In this book, you will learn a lot about how to live a normal life in the face of such adversity. You might still have to travel from time to time. The transport industry might have slowed down operations, but it is still essential, and a complete shutdown would definitely cripple economies. So, looking at all the risks you might be exposed to while traveling, how do you stay safe? Remember, the end game is protecting yourself and your loved ones from everything else you come across during your commute.

There are simple things you take for granted about personal hygiene that can make a big difference in how you get through such situations. Cleaning your surroundings, keeping your home sanitized, clean clothes, proper etiquette when sneezing or coughing, and so on are important steps you can take to prevent the spread of viral infections at home. In light of the way in which infectious diseases affect our lives, learning about the threat of infectious diseases is a good way to stay vigilant. Knowing the signs and symptoms, as well as what to do when you suspect you are infected, can help you protect your loved ones too.

Finally, you will learn how to adjust your life with respect to the Coronavirus. You can make subtle changes like self-isolation, avoiding crowded areas, and observing quarantine guidelines as set by your local authorities. By all means, ignore the politics around the virus. The World Health Organization declared Coronavirus as a global pandemic, and any theatrics you might see in the media should not misguide you to let your guard down. When dealing with viral infections, the best approach is always to assume that everyone else is infected and you are the only healthy person.

Chapter 1: Interpersonal Relationships

You find some interesting humor online these days, and it can help you get through the darkness and uncertainty that befalls relationships and life in general in the midst of a crisis. Your social media walls are probably full of jokes about the global pandemic, some of them not so funny. The threads on Twitter keep you up at night or all through the day in case you are unable to work from home or at your place of work. The jokes aside, one thing that comes out clearly is that an outbreak of this proportion takes a toll on personal relationships.
