What Are Some Of The Health Regulations For The Center For Disease Control Cdc

How do I reach the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)?

Their phone number is 1–800–232–4631.Their complex takes up the 1600 block of Clifton Rd in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Is it true that the Center for Disease Control isn't allowed to study gun violence?

No. It is true that President Obama, looking for material to forge a claim that he’d asked CDC to study Gun Violence, asked them (actually wrote it into his EO of “26 actions”) to study how to study gun control.The outcome was laughably funny. The CDC issued a report (available from NAP) in which they carefully spelled out their answer: Mr. President, you don’t want to ask us to study gun control. In it, they pointed out that the big anti-gun studies largely came from anti-gun sources, like the University of Chicago, whose methodology was to carefully ignore all data that didn’t fit their presumptions. Other studies, including CDC’s own, had answers that wouldn’t fit Obama’s declared policies with a shoehorn and a whitewash.For instance, CDC’s own study indicated that the average Citizen was far more safe from his fellow, armed citizens than from the Police. And for that matter, the Police, statistically, are safer from armed criminals than each other.To make it worse for Obama, SCOTUS had scrutinized the second Amendment in a number of cases which had been carefully not reported on by the media, in which they concluded that the Second Amendment was entirely lawful and reasonable, that citizens cannot expect the police to protect their property or lives, and that the Second Amendment still applies today.In the face of these facts, and the outing of the Liberal Progressive playbook for controlling gun violence messaging (where such tactics are proposed as blaming the NRA while the bodies are still warm, claiming that the weapons used were assault weapons before police reports could actually indicate what was used, avoiding “boring” statistics (largely because the statistics don’t agree with the gun grabber myths), and appealing to emotion early and often to ensure that rational arguments are swamped out) CDC formulated a subtle but impassioned plea for Obama not to embarrass them by making them publicly embarrass him.Obama, wise con man that he is, paid attention, and didn’t ask them to go further than just studying how to study.

What do centers for disease control do?

Alan’s answer is correct. They do more.They also respond to epidemics. Think the Ebola incidents.If you want a movie to understand what the CDC does watch “Contagion”. Go to CDC Works 24/7 and National Institutes of Health (NIH) to see what these two agencies do. Read some of the papers.If you have any microbiology background, you may get nightmares.

Does the Center for Disease Control's campus really destroy itself?

In the interest of full disclosure:I've never worked at The CDCI never watched passed the part in The Walking Dead when they meet some evil kind of guy in some facility? I think the end of the first season.In any case, I believe a self-destruct system would actually do more harm than good if it is containment that you are aiming for.When we work with particularly harmful viruses, "we" (scientists) work on them in very controlled environments with rigorous safety and decontamination methods.I admit that the highest bio safety level I have worked in is BL3. The first concern is, of course, physical access. To get there, you will have to pass through security, go up an elevator that requires an ID card, enter a floor that requires an ID card, enter a laboratory that requires an ID card, and then enter the BL3 anteroom which requires an ID card (which has negative air pressure, air is sucked into it) where you will suit up with proper personal protection equipment. (I am not going into great detail on this, but it is a very important and multi-step process)Whenever there is an incidence of a spill, or a leak, the concern is about containment. Surround the spill with an absorbent material, for instance, and then begin to decontaminate with bleach (If we're talking about biohazardous agents, of course bleach would not work on radioisotopes-- which I don't like to work with because they are very dangerous).Now, I'm going to spoil the walking dead for myself (it's okay, I really liked the first episode though), I'm assuming the idea is that, if there were a spill or a leak or something of a biohazardous agent the laboratory would explode, like in Resident Evil after you've initiated self-destruct and gotten the rocket launcher from Brad (1997).In fact, if you blew up a laboratory, you would be sending bio hazardous material in every direction around the facility. In particular, we keep viruses inside vials inside vials inside boxes inside racks inside freezers.... and we keep thousands of them. That would be an absolute nightmare if it were to be forcefully ejected in any direction.If there were a spill of one virus, even if it were very, very virulent, the last thing you would want to do is introduce positive pressure (pressure pushing outwards) from the laboratory. You contain the spill, call in a chemical spill emergency, individuals suit up for the worst, and the laboratory is slowly and systematically decontaminated.
