Scenario
John attended a back to school cookout at Blount tours. Everyone has a blast. For awhile it seems almost too warm, but plenty of cold drinks were available and by late afternoon it had become quite pleasant.
A 8 p.m. that night, instead of studying as he planned John was laying in his bed with a stomach. He was experiencing severe diarrhea and had several hurried trips to the bathroom.
The next day John found out that many other people were sick with stomach cramps and diarrhea. John began to think about what a coincidence it was that all of them were sick with the same symptoms at the same time.

Identify what kind of disease type (ex. endemic, pandemic, or epidemic) has occurred and explain why
Name 3 entities on Morgan State University campus that John should notify about the large number of sick students. Justify in your response why he sh0uld contact them

Scenario
Mary is a hardworking senior at Morgan State University. She is majoring in physical education and looking forward to teaching elementary education after graduation. For the past few weeks, Mary has noticed a red, scaly, sharply outlined patch of skin on her forehead. She has put creams on it but it will not go away, and may be getting larger. When she goes to the dermatologist they tell Mary that she has skin cancer that is probably still in its early stages. The potential diagnosis of cancer raises a lot of questions for Mary.
