Climate, Oceans,and Human Health: What Cholera Can Teach us about COVID-19

Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health President and Chairman, CosmosID, Inc. Models developed for understanding and predicting outbreaks of cholera, based on work done in the Chesapeake Bay and the Bay of Bengal, today assist UNICEF and aid agencies in predicting risk of cholera in Yemen and other countries of the African continent. With onset of COVID-19, the models were modified and used to predict risk of COVID-19, the current pandemic of coronavirus. Thus, molecular microbial ecology coupled with computational science and remote sensing can provide a critical indicator and prediction of human health and wellness.
