8 Challenge of complexity SFDPH PHD Controlling Infectious Diseases (CID) Model Addressing complexity with a simple framework for action (Tomás J. Aragón, 2014) The PHD CID Model The PHD CID model is an integrated model for preventing and controlling infectious diseases. Also consider the following: (1) Is there asymptomatic infectiousness? (latent period is shorter than incubation period), (2) What is the generation time?, (3) What are the ethical considerations?, and (4) Do you have the political and logistical support to be successful? A) Microbial Agent in B) Reservoir or C) Source Reservoir / Source 1 Air 2 Water 3 Food 4 People 5 Animals & vectors 6 Vehicles 7 Soil & debris D) Portal of Exit E) Mode of Transmission Modes of transmission 1 Contact - direct 2 Contact - indirect 3 Droplets 4 Airborne 5 Vehicle-borne 6 Vector-borne 7 Vertical (mom-child) Transmission Containment Strategies 1 Reduce contact rate 2 Reduce fraction of population that is infectious 3 Reduce biological infectiousness F) Portal of Entry G) Susceptible Host The 7 Habits of Uninfected People 1. Safe consumption 2 Personal hygiene 3 Covering your cough 4 Getting vaccinated 5 Using protection 6 Reducing special risks 7 Basic infection control 4 Reduce biological susceptibility 5 Interrupt transmission (physical, chemical) 6 Reduce fraction of population that is susceptible Tomás J. Aragón, MD, DrPH (SFDPH) Preparing for Microbial Threats to Health June 9, / 33
9 Challenge of complexity Complexity and why it matters What is a complex system? 1 A population of diverse agents, all of which are 2 connected, with behaviors and actions that are 3 interdependent, and that exhibit 4 adaptation and learning. Why do we care? Often unpredictable Can produce large events Can withstand substantial trauma Can evolve along divergent pathways Can produce tipping points (e.g., epidemics) Can produce emergent phenomena (e.g., self-organization) Tomás J. Aragón, MD, DrPH (SFDPH) Preparing for Microbial Threats to Health June 9, / 33
10 Challenge of complexity Spread of novel influenza A (H1N1) via global air travel Destination cities and corresponding volumes of international passengers arriving from México between March 1 and April 30, A total of 2.35 million passengers flew from México to 1018 cities in 164 countries. Source: Khan et al. (2009), PMID Tomás J. Aragón, MD, DrPH (SFDPH) Preparing for Microbial Threats to Health June 9, / 33
11 Challenge of complexity Mitigating complexity Be humble Expect to fail Expect the unexpected Expect unintended consequences Expect big events and tipping points (e.g., epidemics) Beware of pathway dependence (irreversible evolutionary divergence) Harnessing complexity Balance exploration (learning) and exploitation (execution) Develop/use simple frameworks for action (this talk!) Design for agility, adaptability, and responsiveness Develop/use simple rules that spread Every failure is a learning opportunity Tomás J. Aragón, MD, DrPH (SFDPH) Preparing for Microbial Threats to Health June 9, / 33

18 Transmission mechanisms Disease scare at San Jose airport: 5 on flight from Asia examined none found with SARS I San Francisco Chronicle, Wednesday, April 2, 2003 In a false alarm heard round the world, the Santa Clara County health system jumped into high alert Tuesday morning when an American Airlines flight from Tokyo radioed that it might have five cases of the mysterious flulike illness known as SARS on board. [Joan] Krizman said she had no hard feelings about being treated as a potential health threat. The couple had just completed an exhausting, monthlong journey that included stops in Vietnam, Thailand and Hong Kong three Southeast Asian hot spots for SARS. There were four fire trucks and eight police cars and four or five ambulances, she recalled. I couldn t believe it. I thought, Wow! What s going on here? Little did I know that we were to be the victims. Tomás J. Aragón, MD, DrPH (SFDPH) Preparing for Microbial Threats to Health June 9, / 33
19 Transmission mechanisms Disease scare at San Jose airport: 5 on flight from Asia examined none found with SARS II The couple were asked twice to go to Valley Medical Center, and twice they politely declined. And then, Krizman said, they soon opened up the ambulance doors and said, sorry, we re taking you to the hospital. At the hospital, according to Krizman, we were the only ones there not wearing masks. When word got out just who they were, she said, People started running like crazy, like we were the bubonic plague. They put us in a room full of people with plastic boots and face shields and masks.
