International relations is truly the manner in which inter-state interactions take place, the behaviour by which they concern each other with issues that touch economic performance, political alignments and social cultural relations. However, it is more than that. In order to clearly understand these inter-state relations, one must truly look at the state cooperation or lack thereof. This paper sets the scene for the concept of global health by identifying the link between the concept and international relations. The insight into the need of health impact assessment is reviewed in the international relations where the key assumption is that issues of global health are ignored in international relations. There is hence the review of impact that the incorporation of global health issues can have in international diplomacy. The aim of this study is to stress the great amount of negligence that exists within the world of International cooperation in the field of Global Health. Global health cooperation is more important than ever. The International response to Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the lack of transparency within Global Cooperation, and interstate relations were examined in this study. The clear observation of military expenditure rises, and the extreme lack of financial redirection against states during times COVID-19 is seen. The lack of compassion from governmental and medical institutions in vulnerable states is also demonstrated. This research was undertaken in a form of Case studies in order to demonstrate the real time results and impacts on often quickly dismissed states. 3 One conclusion is the unpreparedness in terms of response in many countries it suggested the need for improved International Health Regulations. Governmental efforts, alongside community based initiatives and contributions towards health care maintenance have been taken into consideration. The issue lies in the neglect of other aspects of Health especially in times of crises. In my view, the term “Global Health” is widely misunderstood and misrepresented. The context within Global Health may arise from different political backgrounds and focused on different disciplinary principles. It requires a certain capability to deal with heterogeneous ideas in macro, micro, and behavioral economics sociology, political science, international affairs, and public policy. Global health will necessitate moving beyond simple health advocacy in order to be fully comprehended. By contrasting different state responses to COVID-19 outbreaks, in hopes to prevent spreading, setting a precedent for populations, health managers, and leaders around the world on how to plan for, track, and respond to possible outbreaks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were used to compare outbreak preparedness and management strategies for this report.

Although the vaccination has begun in many countries around the world, experts declare that there is a long way to go in coronavirus battle, and it will take a long time for the vaccine to have a significant effect.  Therefore many questions have arisen about “the necessity to keep taking health protocols” and “how long does it take for people to return to normal activities and reduce or even abandon health protocols after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine”. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and prevention) reports, significant immunity is expected to occur approximately 2 weeks after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, however getting the vaccine does not mean the end of public health and preventive measures, and all full vaccinated people need to keep taking all health protocols and precautions for the reasons discussed in this letter to editor.

Background The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a national public health protection agency in the United States. With the escalating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on society in the United States and around the world, the CDC has become one of the focal points of public discussion. Objective This study aims to identify the topics and their overarching themes emerging from the public COVID-19-related discussion about the CDC on Twitter and to further provide insight into public's concerns, focus of attention, perception of the CDC's current performance, and expectations from the CDC. Methods Tweets were downloaded from a large-scale COVID-19 Twitter chatter data set from March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, to August 14, 2020. We used R (The R Foundation) to clean the tweets and retain tweets that contained any of five specific keywords—cdc, CDC, centers for disease control and prevention, CDCgov, and cdcgov—while eliminating all 91 tweets posted by the CDC itself. The final data set included in the analysis consisted of 290,764 unique tweets from 152,314 different users. We used R to perform the latent Dirichlet allocation algorithm for topic modeling. Results The Twitter data generated 16 topics that the public linked to the CDC when they talked about COVID-19. Among the topics, the most discussed was COVID-19 death counts, accounting for 12.16% (n=35,347) of the total 290,764 tweets in the analysis, followed by general opinions about the credibility of the CDC and other authorities and the CDC's COVID-19 guidelines, with over 20,000 tweets for each. The 16 topics fell into four overarching themes: knowing the virus and the situation, policy and government actions, response guidelines, and general opinion about credibility. Conclusions Social media platforms, such as Twitter, provide valuable databases for public opinion. In a protracted pandemic, such as COVID-19, quickly and efficiently identifying the topics within the public discussion on Twitter would help public health agencies improve the next-round communication with the public.

AbstractOn 11 September 2001, terrorists hijacked two passenger planes and crashed them into the two towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City. These synchronized attacks were the largest act of terrorism ever committed on US soil. The impacts, fires, and subsequent collapse of the towers killed and injured thousands of people.Within minutes after the first plane crashed into the WTC, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, initiated one of the largest public health responses in its history. Staff of the CDC provided technical assistance on several key public health issues. During the acute phase of the event, CDC personnel assisted with: (1) assessing hospital capacity; (2) establishing injury and disease surveillance activities; (3) deploying emergency coordinators/liaisons to facilitate inter-agency coordination with the affected jurisdictions; and (4) arranging rapid delivery of emergency medical supplies, therapeutics, and personal protective equipment. This incident highlighted the need for adequate planning for all potential hazards and the importance of interagency and interdepartmental coordination in preparing for and responding to public health emergencies.
