The current Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic that is caused by the virus termed SARS-COV-2, started from an apparently innocuous isolated incident in an unknown place and time. However, in a very short time, the matter of COVID-19 has become a world-wide pandemic, affecting the well-being of billions of individuals, causing hundreds of thousands of severe illnesses, thousands of death (still counting and projected to increase dramatically), unnecessary strains on the world's economy (perhaps triggering another world economic recession if not an economic depression like the ones we have never seen), and most importantly needless fear and distrust in the ability of the leadership to deal with it. The matter of COVID-19 and SARS-COV-2 is a case that was predictable pursuant to the "Theory of Chaos". It is submitted that because the leadership of United States National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are guilty of dereliction of duties, they must voluntarily resign from their positions that they have occupied for far too long, and that it is high time that the United States Government drastically rethink its policy of the management of this country's biomedical research enterprise that each year pours over 50 billion dollars (all Agencies included) of the people's hard earned tax dollars into a black hole of scientific data that are not only useless but cannot be reproduced by other Scientific Researchers and by the "Scientific Researchers" who generated the "scientific data" in the first place. It is also submitted that had the leadership of United States National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention read and studied the "Theory of Chaos" and the "Art of War", America would not be in the situation it is currently facing.

The success of the conjugate Hib vaccines has been spectacular. Prior to their introduction, an estimated 10,000 cases of Hib meningitis occurred annually in the United States, which was approximately 1 in 300 children. It was even higher among native Alaskan and American Indian children. Since the widespread use of the vaccine, the disease has nearly disappeared in the United States, with only 40 cases in children under age 5 years reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2014. Thus, bacterial meningitis, once a scourge that killed and damaged too many American children is, for the most part, now a bad memory.

Abstract According to 2010 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. It is assumed that various diabetes interventions are available to help individuals manage this chronic disease, but that is not the case. The literature is scant regarding interventions focused on people with disabilities who have diabetes. The purpose of this article is to review interventions specifically focused on people with disabilities who have diabetes and to discuss the effect of these interventions on this population.

Spread Of Infection

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States (US) last week released its plans to cope with a deliberate release of smallpox (1). The plan centres on rapid ring vaccination of the contacts of infected individuals to contain the spread of infection. Mass vaccination in advance of an outbreak will not be used, partly because the risks associated with vaccination outweigh the risks of exposure to smallpox.
