To face the impact of the pandemic the government has been forced to raise the deficit to very high level. Use the Solow growth model of Chapter 9 and what you learned in chapter 3 to graphically illustrate the impact of a permanent government deficit increase on the steady-state capital–labor ratio and the steady-state level of output per worker. Explain in words why the curves move the way they did. Be sure to label the: a) axes; b) curves; c) initial steady-state levels; d) terminal steady-state levels; and e) the direction curves shift.

CASE STUDY: Albert
Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business
presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant,
this is his first trip to the Middle East.
He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as
he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time
and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations.
Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than
the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because
she is 6 months pregnant.
Reflective Questions
How would you address Albert’s beliefs?
What learning would be needed in each domain?
What learning theories would you consider?
How might his family concerns be addressed?

In 1878, congress authorized the US Marine Hospital Service, the precursor to the Public Health Service, to collect morbidity reports on cholera, smallpox, plague, and yellow fever from US consuls overseas. For the most part, these diseases have been eradicated, but the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System remains in place.

Using the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Summary of notifiable infectious diseases ( https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwr_nd/ Links to an external site. ), select three diseases and investigate and analyze the number of cases reported in three consecutive years. Explain the reason these diseases are included on the surveillance list, and then analyze the most recent three years of data addressing trends in the statistics for all three diseases.
