商品描述
This book provides an overview of the science and technology that helps us understand the trajectory, i.e., genomics, epidemiology, and health care of the COVID-19 pandemic, its virus, and pathogenicity. Topics that are covered include how the virus is impacting our health care system and the economy. Simulation modeling used to predict the spread of the virus and risk of infection in America and globally is included, as well as the critical role of communication in pandemic response.
An important focus is synthetic biology, notably employed in the development and production of effective diagnostics that can be rapidly deployed and development of vaccines in unlimited quantity. US and global production of vaccine is discussed. Most importantly, treatment of patients infected with the virus that includes telemedicine and virtual reality for remote intensive care settings is a significant aspect of the discussion. Biotechnology plays a major role in responding to the COVID-19pandemic and advances utilized in the engineering sciences are introduced.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了有關科學和技術的概述，幫助我們理解COVID-19大流行的軌跡，即基因組學、流行病學和醫療保健，及其病毒和致病性。涵蓋的主題包括病毒如何影響我們的醫療保健系統和經濟。書中還包括用於預測病毒在美國及全球擴散和感染風險的模擬模型，以及在大流行應對中溝通的關鍵角色。
一個重要的焦點是合成生物學，特別是在有效診斷的開發和生產中，這些診斷可以迅速部署，並且能夠無限量地開發疫苗。書中討論了美國及全球的疫苗生產。最重要的是，對於感染病毒的患者的治療，包括遠程醫療和虛擬實境在遠程重症監護環境中的應用，是討論的一個重要方面。生物技術在應對COVID-19大流行中扮演了重要角色，並介紹了在工程科學中所採用的進步技術。
