Part 1. In your own words define leadership and then discuss why it is critical for responding to disease crises.

Part 2. Elaborate on one infectious disease, except for COVID-19, that devasted our nation (from colonial America to the present) by briefly describing what it was, how it was treated (if at all), and the impact it had on our country—do not discuss political leaders.

Part 3. Explain the deliberate use of an infectious disease by Americans/American troops for political or military gain or against Americans/American troops and the impact it had on those who used it and those who were the victims.

Part 4. Discuss one different infectious disease crisis, except COVID-19, and how political leaders of the time were either viewed as successful or failures in their handling of the crisis—do not focus on the disease itself.
