4. Explain the difference between a cold and the flu. Why does the influenza virus cause periodic epidemics (like the Spanish flu, avian flu, H1N1, etc.)?
5. What is the difference between a virus and a prion? Name a disease caused by a prion.
6. Do one of the following:
- a. Give a brief report about a viral pandemic and the impact it had/is having on the world.
- b. Create a skit, multimedia presentation, or other interactive display that informs an audience of the danger of one or more of these viruses and gives them training in how to combat or control the virus.
