(Ankara Üniversitesi, 2021) Artik, Yakup; Other; Other
Disaster is defined as the holistic state of natural or human-induced events that develop suddenly, whose controllability requires a systematic approach, which interrupts or stops social life and causes loss of life, property and often cannot be overcome with local capacity. Biological disasters can be human-induced as well as naturally infectious diseases and epidemiological emergencies. Considering the potential of the 21st century, biological disasters have played a role in influenza infections such as Swine Flu (H1N1), Bird Influenza (H5N1), and the Coronavirus family. Considering the disasters in which medical CBRN agents are effective, we evaluated the data in this study to determine the risk management of biological disasters. Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, the first 15 countries are included in the list based on the total cumulative order of the cases and the 12-week case of SARS-CoV-2 in the first quarter of 2021. We tried to evaluate the analysis of data, mortality rates, and the point reached in vaccination within this timeline to provide an overview of 2021 in this research study.
