Summary

An introduction to the content of Integrated Science of Global Epidemics is presented in this chapter, mainly including the epidemiology of respiratory viral infectious epidemics—with emphasis on COVID, important concerns and challenges, e.g., urbanization, mass casualties, discrimination issues, and psychological assessment limitations, important facilitators, i.e., social marketing and artificial intelligence, advancing epidemics of physical inactivity and obesity, and children and adolescents’ health in relation to global epidemics.

Graphical Abstract/Art Performance

Graphical art performance with labels like stay home and coronavirus quarantine. Graphics of the virus and people with masks are also seen.

During this pandemic, the most vulnerable have been the hardest hit … We must increase our resilience . We must work together and take an integrated approach to health, hunger, climate, and equity crisis — no one is safe from COVID-19 until everyone is safe.
