Hippocrates (460-377 BC) the Father of Medicine and the First Epidemiologist used epidemiology principles to understand disease occurrence. During 2019-2020 Covid-19 caused global shut downs renewing interest in epidemiology. The current Covid-19 pandemic utilized well-designed epidemiological tools to learn virus origin and whether it caused the disease? However, we never got past the origin to truly tackle this epidemic. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it! (George Santayana-1905). In a 1948 speech Winston Churchill changed the quote slightly stating those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. According to how severe, widespread, and questionable treatment and origin were in this case did history repeat itself? We still do not know if this disease is found in humans or animals and in what locations? Treatment options were forced, coerced, and often displayed without the side effect history or feedback listing in the packaging panels. Combinations of virology labs, tools, and serology from patient samples, cohorts, and community surveys could have helped to reconstruct the events that led to the outbreaks. Utilizing genetic sequencing of how the virus was spread and possible links with animals were not adequately established. The current pandemic compares to the cholera outbreak in London because many believed it was a cloud of disease that hung close to earth and infected everyone much like covid. John Snow (1813-1858) identified the issue (water) and turned off the suspicious pump, thus controlling the spread of disease. Hence, the etiology of the disease as well as observation of the characteristics of those who became ill provided the conclusive evidence to the source of the contamination. We have yet to solidify the host of the Covid contagion nor treatment and as such the application, origin, and outcome are null. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the awareness of Public Health. Public Health has become a household term. The pandemic has made amateur epidemiologists out of each of us so my opinion remains to be just that my "opinion."
The 3 basic uses of epidemiology as they relate to the Covid-19 pandemic would have described the disease occurrence, identifying the causes of disease (agent), and to find factors that increase a person’s risk of disease (host) within the environment. These revelations would have resulted into a perfect scientific method of problem solving that could have helped to understand how people got sick and die, who gets sick and dies, and how to avoid getting sick. Epidemiology also describe the extent of disease in a population and the natural history, and what is the course and characteristics of the disease if left untreated. In this manner one can evaluate preventive measures and guide policy decisions. A well-understood disease has 4 basic elements
1. Homogeneous set of signs and symptoms
2. Knowledge of the etiology
3. Appreciation of the natural history
4. Treatment derived from 2 and 3
