Book excerpt: As nations race to hone contact-tracing efforts, the world's experts consider strategies for maximum transparency and impact. As public health professionals around the world work tirelessly to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that traditional methods of contact tracing need to be augmented in order to help address a public health crisis of unprecedented scope. Innovators worldwide are racing to develop and implement novel public-facing technology solutions, including digital contact tracing technology. These technological products may aid public health surveillance and containment strategies for this pandemic and become part of the larger toolbox for future infectious outbreak prevention and control. As technology evolves in an effort to meet our current moment, Johns Hopkins Project on Ethics and Governance of Digital Contact Tracing Technologies—a rapid research and expert consensus group effort led by Dr. Jeffrey P. Kahn of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics in collaboration with the university's Center for Health Security—carried out an in-depth analysis of the technology and the issues it raises. Drawing on this analysis, they produced a report that includes detailed recommendations for technology companies, policymakers, institutions, employers, and the public. The project brings together perspectives from bioethics, health security, public health, technology development, engineering, public policy, and law to wrestle with the complex interactions of the many facets of the technology and its applications. This team of experts from Johns Hopkins University and other world-renowned institutions has crafted clear and detailed guidelines to help manage the creation, implementation, and application of digital contact tracing. Digital Contact Tracing for Pandemic Response is the essential resource for this fast-moving crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that the COVID 19 pandemic asks for a a global approach to bioethics. it describes how the pandemic affects the experience of being in a world that is intrinsically characterized by global connectivity. It demonstrates that a moral vision is necessary to articulate this experience of connectedness. Subsequently, a perspective of global bioethics is introduced, which provides a broader framework than mainstream bioethics, since it highlights the significance of both vulnerability and solidarity. Through a unique global perspective the book addresses the moral challenges of the pandemic, and places the confrontation with death, disease and disability within a wider framework of ethical concerns. This book is of important in the public debate on infectious diseases, and of relevance to health professionals, global health educators, public health experts,as well as policy makers.

Book excerpt: This book offers a compelling ethical analysis of challenges in COVID-19 biomedical research, vaccination and therapy. Moreover, it draws attention to popular countermeasures, such as AI-based prevention, lockdowns and vaccinations. Through unique perspectives, it addresses some ethical challenges associated with the pandemic, providing ethical criteria guidelines for health emergencies, focusing on the allocation of limited life-saving resources in a triage situation and the dilemma of who to treat. In addition, the book highlights the necessity of the outlining of a global bioethical framework for pandemic management, rooted in human rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The race between CO-VID-19 vaccination and infection will continue until population immunity outstrips the virus' ability to mutate and infect. When the pandemic is over, investigators, political and scientific, will mull over what went wrong and what went right. Different responses will be compared to determine effectiveness, not just on lives saved, but on incomes lost. The economic fallout will become clearer. The unforeseen derivative impact of responses on human health will also emerge - at some future time.But maybe there are lessons to be learned right now: lessons relating to the evolution of thought and behavior during times of danger and uncertainty, lessons relating to evolution of responses, lessons relating to how policy is made, and identification of deficits arising when failing to consider significant, but perhaps not obvious, outcomes, such as effects on the elderly and on their mental health.The first part of the book contains early essays reflecting public confusion and terror; the second part reflects initial responses generated by the early panic. As the earliest essays indicate, initial focus centered on conspiracy theories rather than masking and social distancing, diverting and deflecting resources from more promising and productive responses.The third section analyzes recently emerging data. These data reflect another key - and erroneous theme of the early panic - based on early and stagnant research: the virus preyed especially on the elders. Ill-thought-out policy, manifesting in isolation directives, had additional and disastrous consequences on mental health, which, in turn resulted in significantly excess dementia-related deaths. These results cry out for consideration of epidemic responses from a legal "therapeutic jurisprudential" perspective, where concern for mental health ramifications is considered before policy implementation.The relatively new field of therapeutic jurisprudence traditionally involves considering mental health effects of legislation. As mental health consequences of CoVid 19 responses continue to proliferate, even, as I show in the final chapter, perhaps disproportionately affecting minority populations, involvement of the field becomes even more important.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains original essays that look at contagious/infectious disease pandemics and the ethical public policy and administration these have entailed. In particular, the pandemics of the 1918 flu pandemic, HIV in the 1990s, SARS in 2003, Ebola from 2014–2016 and the novel COVID-19 in 2020 are highlighted. The contributions in this work offer the reader insights in these and several other recent pandemics that present differently—either via contagion or mortality rate—and how each should be addressed by countries of various sorts. This book is a must for the ongoing debate on how we should treat public health crises, such as the one we have all just encountered in the novel COVID-19 pandemic.
