In epidemiology, we often use research, data, and statistics to help mitigate outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics.
To measure the rate in which a disease spreads, we often develop a statistical distribution curve.
Review the graph comparison between a normal curve and a flattened curve and then answer the questions:
1. Looking at the graphic, why is it important to flatten the curve?
2. In which ways do health care leaders use epidemiological statistics and data to improve or prevent the spread of diseases?
