The unauthorized visitor did not report to the front office and was found with the firearm during his removal from campus. Although there's no evidence of intent to use the gun, possessing firearms on school premises violates state law. The suspect, identified as a former Sequoyah student, wasn't named. Concurrently, first responders attended to a medical emergency on campus. Both incidents occurred outside buildings and didn't disrupt school activities. The Cherokee County School District underscores its commitment to safety and encourages reporting of concerns through its Vector Alert system. STORY 2: Woodstock Man Gets 30 Years in Prison for Child Molestation Romualdo De Pedraza, a Woodstock man, was sentenced to 30 years in prison followed by life probation for aggravated child molestation and cruelty to children. Following a four-day trial, a Cherokee County jury found him guilty. The charges arose from a Cherokee Sheriff's Office investigation prompted by a child under 10 disclosing sexual assault allegations against De Pedraza. A family member's 911 call initiated the investigation. The child provided details during a forensic interview at the Anna Crawford Children's Center. Prosecutors emphasized the importance of the interview in securing justice. District Attorney Susan Treadaway commended the center for providing a safe space for victims. STORY 3: Cherokee County Students Place in State Career and Tech Contest Two Cherokee County School District students achieved statewide recognition at Georgia's Career and Technical Instruction Competition. Creekview High School's junior Charlie Holderness secured first place for his advertising campaign "Hypeman Holderness." Meanwhile, River Ridge High School's ninth-grader Aiden Maxwell clinched sixth place in the state for CPR skills. Their success highlights their skills in their respective Career Pathways, with Holderness mentored by Ed Walker and Ashley Jones in Marketing and Management, and Maxwell guided by Gabby Garza and Callie Davis in Healthcare Science.

Winning essays proposed various ideas like increasing teacher salaries, offering after-school programs, providing healthier foods, and buying playground equipment for students with special needs. The contest aimed to foster creative thinking and community engagement among students. STORY 5: Canton Rotary Club Awards Heart for Service Scholarships The Rotary Club of Canton recently awarded college scholarships to six graduating high school seniors from Cherokee County. These scholarships, presented during a ceremony at Canton City Hall, recognize students who demonstrate a commitment to community service and extracurricular involvement. Each recipient received a $1,000 check, a certificate of recognition, and a Rotary pin. The scholarship winners include Eylianis Gomez-Culbert, Jocelyn Alexandra Leal, Karielys “Karie” Rivera Alvarez, Liliana Marie Quintero, John “JT” Marshall Ivers III, and Julian Douglas Noaker. These scholarships are part of the club's Empowering Young Leaders Initiative, reflecting Rotary's mission to create hope and support youth development. Club President Francisco Lozano emphasized the importance of recognizing and supporting young leaders who contribute to their communities. Commercial: INGLES 5 STORY 6: Georgia Lawmakers Backing New National Scenic Trail Senators Raphael Warnock and Thom Tillis have introduced legislation to conduct a feasibility study for designating the Benton MacKaye Trail as a National Scenic Trail. The trail spans 280 miles from Georgia to Tennessee and North Carolina, named after a conservationist. This initiative aims to preserve natural landscapes, boost rural economies, and enhance mobility for hikers. Warnock emphasizes the bill's significance in protecting the environment for future generations. A companion bill has also been introduced in the House of Representatives by representatives including Lucy McBath and Nikema Williams. STORY 7: Cherokee County Students Earn Honors at Science Olympiad Contests Cherokee County School District students excelled in statewide and regional Science Olympiad competitions.

Welcome to the Disease Detectives podcast, where we discuss HPV and its detrimental effects, which vaccination at the pre-teen age can prevent the disease. As a group of students interested in infectious diseases, we wanted to bring awareness to this STD, which is incurable and causes various cancers. This podcast was created to inform parents/guardians about HPV and strongly suggest vaccination to prevent contraction. Sources

September 7th is World Field Epidemiology Day so we sat down with Adam Roth, Head of Fellowship Programmes at ECDC to talk about what field epidemiology is, and about the fellowship pathways, EPIET and EUPHEM, that ECDC offers. "This is intervention epidemiology, it should make a difference." More information on TEPHINET is available here.

Dr. Rebecca Martin, Director of CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH), joins this episode to discuss their recently published Outbreaks Report and the important work CGH is doing around the world. She highlights several of the Center's programs, including the Field Epidemiology Training Program which has taught over 18,000 Disease Detectives to lead prevention, detection and response in more than 90 countries. Now the most experienced of those countries have begun to mentor others through crises.Dr. Martin goes on to talk about the impact of COVID-19 on the Center's programs, especially critical initiatives like measles and polio vaccination. She describes the Center's mission as “working globally to domestically.” The symbiotic nature of that mission has become increasingly apparent during this pandemic, as the lessons learned abroad are now helping to inform the response to COVID-19 at home.Takeaways:03:39 —The Center for Global Health's history, mission and 10-year anniversary successes.06:46 — Disease detectives: over 18,000 health professionals in 90 countries trained to lead prevention, detection and response.11:49 — How CGH programs have adapted and innovated in the face of COVID-19.18:15 — The impact of suspending programs due to COVID-19.

To rein in the invisible spread of the virus, a special branch of science has exploded: Contact tracing. It's the careful, sometimes intimate task of figuring out where the coronavirus might have spread in a community, and who is at risk. This week on Petrie Dish, TPR's podcast about the science of the pandemic, we hear from the disease detectives who are tracking down possible Covid-19 carriers before they even get sick. We also dig into state-by-state plans to ramp up contact tracing to safely restart the economy, and compare U.S. contact tracing efforts with those across the world.

The Breakdown - Is contact tracing the way forward for our economy? Vox Pushes Contract Tracing "Disease Detectives" As the Way Forward Vox, the bastion of unbiased journalism, has produced a piece to walk the average lay person through "contact tracing."  Billing the privacy violating position as "Disease Detectives", the story walks the reader through the process of visiting COVID-19 positive citizens.  Subsequently, this ensures each person with whom they've come into contact is followed.  This, they say, is the only way "to ease distancing restrictions."  Yet there exists a big problem with contract tracing - resources, both of the human and fiscal kind.  However will they handle this?  The answer, for instance, may be on you right now. The New World Order Is Impacted by COVID-19, Says Henry Kissenger Today is "National Apologize To A Conspiracy Theorist Day".  Therefore, it is incumbent upon me to cover the mother of all conspiracies: The New World Order.  And who else better to cover than Henry Kissenger?  In a recent piece, Kissenger cries about the problems of free society and the need to create a "post coronavirus order."  In classic fashion, it is a globalist plan meant only to draw us into a consolidated, centralized government. Irony:  Liberals Accuse Republicans of Being the Party of Death You'll enjoy this daily dose of irony as we walk through an article by Timothy Egan, he presents his opinion of "How Republicans Became the Party of Death".  Yes, it is ironic, alright.  Let's walk through this (almost) point by point.

COVID-Safe, or COVID-Traced? The Government's new COVID-19 tracing app has caused a lot of questions to be asked of the government in recent weeks. 4 million Australians have already downloaded the app, which is a little way off the 11 million they were hoping for. Julie asks us if the government should be trusted when it comes to this app, and how can we ensure that we're not taken advantage of by the government when so often before we have.

In this episode, Christian Esguerra speaks with Dr. Eric Tayag on the science of epidemiology and the value of mass testing for the new coronavirus. Dr. Tayag, an infectious diseases specialist, served as Philippines’ chief epidemiologist for 10 years.

On this edition of The Micah Hanks Program, after news and listener emails pertaining to strange things in our skies, we have an odd question about pandemics in mind: how are outbreaks like UFO flaps, and why do some similarities exist between the two? To look at these questions, and how science applies to both scenarios, we are joined by retired epidemiologist Thomas Glass, Ph.D., an expert on outbreaks whose Ph.D. in medical sociology was obtained at Duke University. Over the last three decades, Glass has held faculty positions in epidemiology at Yale, Harvard and Johns Hopkins. Dr. Glass joins us both to share his interest in the building current interest in the UFO topic, as well as to lend his expertise with regard to the current coronavirus pandemic situation. With so much news building on public concerns about the coronavirus, Dr. Glass brings an informed message of hope--not hype--that presents both an engaging and interesting discussion of the current global pandemic situation.  When an outbreak occurs, how do viruses spread, and what kinds of factors do epidemiologists watch for as the situation unfolds? And why are there similarities between how an epidemiologist investigates and outbreak, and how UFO researchers investigate some sightings reports? We look at all of these questions, and more on this week's edition of The Micah Hanks Program.  Enjoy The Micah Hanks Program?

Health Frontiers Radio Back to the Future - Personalized Medicine    Gone are the days when the family physician knew everything about you and your entire family history, your diet and lifestyle choices, and even the skeletons in your family closet!  All too often, patients today are treated as a set of impersonal data points and symptoms that are to be targeted and masked with drugs - with no regard to the underlying causes of the symptoms. Medicine has become so specialized that sadly, most physicians simply don’t have the time, training or desire to investigate their patients’ diet and the multitude of exposures that influence our health so profoundly.  Today we peer behind the curtain of Personalized Medicine with two cutting edge practitioners who take a holistic approach to patient assessment and treatment - our very own Dr. Chris Meletis (world-renowned Naturopathic Physician) and the extraordinary Al Fusco (Certified Clinical Nutritionist/Therapist and Wellness Coordinator who has served patients alongside grateful medical doctors for decades).  Join us for a fascinating discussion with these modern-day “Disease Detectives” who believe that alternative 'natural' medicine, for most health problems, should be the logical first choice in health care. You will be stunned by the clinical insights they share as we examine the methods they employ to assess health challenges and foster life transformation in their patients.

As the outbreak of COVID-19 becomes officially classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, we look at the role of the Epidemic Intelligence Service the CDCs "disease detectives".

Reported cases of the new coronavirus are increasing, and it's up to public health officials to try and figure out where those cases came from.

E198 Epidemiologist human Dr. Rendi Murphree calls herself, and others in her field, “Disease Detectives.” She has worked for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for years, recently retiring as a Captain from the United States Public Health Service. She’s currently devoting her time and skills to Alabama in their public health sector. Dr. Murphree […]

The discovery of antibiotics hailed the dawn of a new era in medicine. Once fatal infections were suddenly treatable with the arrival of these magic bullet cures. This golden era is waning, however. Today, we face a rising crisis of antimicrobial resistance with more than 700,000 deaths per year across the globe due to now untreatable infections. The broad use of antibiotics in humans and agriculture has created the conditions for evolution of resistance among microbes. But, how did we get here? Why and when did antibiotics come to be so commonplace in agriculture? How did they come to be used as “growth promoters” in livestock rearing practices? In this episode, I speak with award winning author and journalist, Maryn McKenna, who has written extensively on the antibiotic resistance crisis. We take a deep dive into the history of how antibiotics became commonplace in agriculture and how this has impacted human health. About Maryn McKenna Maryn McKenna is an independent journalist and author, specializing in public health, global health, and food policy, and a Senior Fellow of the Center for the Study of Human Health at Emory University, where she teaches health and science writing and storytelling, and media literacy. She is the recipient of the 2019 AAAS-Kavli Award for magazine writing for her piece "The Plague Years" in The New Republic, and the author of the 2017 bestseller Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats (National Geographic Books, Sept. 2017), which received the 2018 Science in Society Award, making her a two-time winner of that prize. Big Chicken was named a Best Book of 2017 by Amazon, Science News, Smithsonian Magazine, Civil Eats, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Toronto Globe and Mail; an Essential Science Read by WIRED; and a 2018 Book All Georgians Should Read. Her 2015 TED Talk, "What do we do when antibiotics don't work any more?", has been viewed 1.8 million times and translated into 34 languages. Her earlier books are Superbug (published in 2010), on the international epidemic of drug-resistant staph in hospitals, families and farms, which won the 2013 June Roth Memorial Book Award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the 2011 Science in Society Award given by the National Association of Science Writers; and Beating Back the Devil: On the Front Lines with the Disease Detectives of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (published in 2004), the first history of the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service, for which she embedded with the corps for a year. Beating Back the Devil was named one of the Top Science Books of 2004 by Amazon and an Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association. Maryn has presented at the United Nations, U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control about the need to curb antibiotic misuse in medicine and agriculture, and is a frequent public speaker and radio, TV and podcasts. About Cassandra Quave Prof. Cassandra Quave is best known for her ground-breaking research on the science of botanicals. Scientists in her research lab work to uncover some of nature’s deepest secrets as they search for new ways to fight life-threatening diseases, including antibiotic resistant infections. Working with a global network of scientists and healers, Cassandra and her team travel the world hunting for new plant ingredients, interviewing healers, and bringing plants back to the lab to study. Besides research, Cassandra is an award-winning teacher, and has developed and taught the college classes “Food, Health and Society” and “Botanical Medicine and Health” at Emory University. @QuaveEthnobot on Twitter @QuaveEthnobot on Instagram @QuaveMedicineWoman and “Foodie Pharmacology with Cassandra Quave” on Facebook

Listen as they tell the story of one of the first known disease detectives and guide us through ways in which human expansion and technology have impacted the spread of diseases and disease tracking efforts.Special thanks to Kristen Nordlund and Thomas Young from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Join the conversation on social media with @umichsph!

“There was an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 associated with people eating tiger meat sandwiches or cannibal sandwiches. It’s not actually tiger, it’s not tiger meat but that’s what we heard, so when we are at the health department, we saw some lab report coming in of the same strain of O157:H7 and that triggers us to initiate some kind of investigation” Our guest today is Dr. Abbey Canon. Dr. Canon is a 2011 graduate from the Iowa State University. She is currently the director of communications for the American Association of Swine Veterinarians. Throughout this episode, we talk about her time on a dude range, how she earned her Master’s in Public Health and spent some time as a ‘Disease Detective’ with the CDC. She shares with us lessons from her time as an instructor at Iowa State University and what is was like to have an amazing role with the Center for Food Security and Public Health. We even touch on how motherhood has changed her outlook on her career. Dr. Canon is full of so many great stories and words of wisdom. We cannot wait to share this journey with you.

Piénsenlo, las epidemias pueden causar la muerte de mucha gente, los gobiernos no se pueden dar el lujo de tener a gran parte de su poblacion enferma o muriendose.   Ejemplos de grandes pandemiad de la historia, la muerte negra, la gripe espanola, SIDA, y la 3ra pandemia de cólera.   Ahora la epidemiologia, pues obviamente se puede simplicficar demasiado como el studio de epidemias, pero en que consiste ese estudio?  Dale play para que te enteres.     Información extra:    Video de Crash Course: Disease!

When we feel unwell, we seek out medical attention. However, figuring out what is wrong with us may not be as simple as a quick visit to the clinic. On this week’s show, we’re going to dive into the world of disease detectives known officially as diagnosis. Our first guest is probably the best person to discuss what diagnosis means to us. She is Lisa Sanders and she is an educator at Yale University. But she is better known as the author of the long running New York Times Series, Diagnosis, and is the inspiration behind the beloved TV show, House M.D. She takes us through the process of diagnostics and how the process can be incredibly complicated requiring more than simple Sherlockian deduction. She also offers her perspective on the trend to use “Dr. Google” to self-diagnose. Our second guest is Madhukar Pai at McGill University. He has been trying to increase the ability of all countries to perform effective diagnosis especially with one of our greatest microbial enemies, tuberculosis. He has worked with the World Health Organization to make diagnosis a priority and will share his vision of the future for detecting diseases. In our SASS Class, our guest teacher is one of the thousands of people in Canada responsible for carrying out the tests needed to achieve a diagnosis. Her name is Krista Urchenko and she is a Medical Laboratory Professional. She is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science. She reveals the behind the curtain work that most of us don’t see but need to be able to figure out what’s wrong. She also introduces us to LAB WEEK, which will highlight the work of these important professionals in Canada.

World Hacks goes to Thailand to meet an army of volunteers on the front line in the fight against dangerous diseases, like Ebola and bird flu. Nearly 100 years ago Spanish Flu infected a third of the world’s population and killed about 50 million people. With increased international travel, growing populations and environmental damage, experts warn that viruses now have the potential to spread faster, and we could be on course for another pandemic, with devastating consequences. Pandemics often originate in places where animals and people live in close contact, making it easy for animal diseases to spill over into humans, and where health systems may not be able to pick up on threats and respond quickly. In rural Thailand, 75% of people keep animals in their back gardens, making it hard to keep track of new outbreaks. In 2004, a strain of bird flu swept through the country, as well as Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia, infecting more than 125 people and killing about half of them. Vets at Chiang Mai University have started a project called PODD – the full name in Thai means “Look closely and you will see”. They’ve trained up 3,000 volunteers to take photos of dead animals and report any signs of sickness in their communities, helping spot dangerous outbreaks and contain them before they spread.
