Options for Biological Terrorism Attacks and Epidemiological Responses

Bioterrorism is not a distant threat that may cause concern after 20 years. It started in history and continues until today. Just in 1996, people in Ohio who were involved with extremist groups acquired plague culture through the US Postal Service (Danzig & Berkowsky, 1997). Last month, several people in the US were infected with Bacillus anthracis. As we now say, the United States is not ready to use biological weapons for massive attacks, and as we continue "war with terror", such an attack The possibilities are increasing everyday. Terrorists can be distributed most efficiently in three ways.

Early detection and response to biological or chemical terrorism is essential. Large scale attacks of smallpox virus, aerosolized anthrax spores, nerve gas or foodborne organisms or chemicals must be prepared locally and nationwide public health infrastructure unless special preparation at the local and state level It is overwhelming. Many patients including infected people and "worried people" seek medical care, which requires medicines, diagnostic tests and hospital beds. Emergency personnel, healthcare workers and public health officials may face special risks and daily life is interrupted due to widespread fear of infectious diseases

Provincial and federal public health departments are equipped with state-of-the-art tools for rapid epidemiologic investigations and management of suspicious or confirmed biological or chemical terrorist acts, and to designate designated stocks of terrorism-related medical supplies Nationwide drug inventory provided in the following ways The threat to the civilian population and the use of biological and chemical substances to reveal the vulnerability of the United States and strengthen our ability to detect and manage terrorism We emphasize the necessity. The United States must be protected from various important biological and chemical substances, including those developed and stored for military purposes. Even without the threat of war, defense investment can ensure the provision and negate hostility. Similarly, investment in public health systems provides the best civil defense against bioterrorism. The tool developed to deal with the threat of terror has two objectives
