Helps a lot with Science Olympiad! The event “Disease Detectives” has a lot of epidemiology references in it so this video and others are a big help!

[@badguyreloaded8230]

Well done, sir. I hold that scientists and engineers who make things "simple" are, in fact, the best thinkers

[@raedwaheed2943]

Thanks a lot, Doctor Greg. I appreciate your hard work in producing a well-established and sophisticated channel to discuss those complicated concepts in simple terms. Which benefits both doctors and the general public. I found this video very useful for my medical studies. Amazing job!

[@gregmartin]

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alhajisaeedjanneh3204]

Dr. Greg, your videos are educative and they serve as a guide to some of us offering health courses like Public Health. But i personally find it interesting in listening with such a speed that i cannot estimate it to be. You obviously have to slow down a bit and help send the required message necessary to comprehend by us the audience. Thanks and may God the Almighty bless you for your relentless efforts in impacting people.

[@vanessahodges6697]

I could watch this instructor all day! You can tell he is genuinely excited to talk Epi

[@jjgbf]

Thank you, I'm doing Disease Detectives for the first time this year and this was really helpful!

[@gregmartin]

Thank you for the feedback. Glad it was helpful

[@lexoidtheedrummer]

Yooooo same!

[@rickmarcello]

Uau! Three years after this video was published, COVID-19 came!

[@jituvya]

And its been a year to your comment.... but still Covid us there

[@MrZak-rf3vq]

"peter out" lmao! I'm gonna have to use that one. I have been looking everywhere for videos like this to explain how to actually model diseases. I am very excited to have found a reliable source. Thank you.

[@gregmartin]

Thanks for the feedback zak - glad you enjoyed the video. Lots more in the pipeline so stay tuned. :)

[@ljre3397]

I’d think this video would have a lot more views after a year of COVID. Great video. Wish I’d found it a year ago.

[@PhilippeGasquet]

Great job Greg! Suggestion, could you slow down the speech delivery? It will make it easier for non native English speakers to grasp the content of your presentation. Very interesting

[@gregmartin]

Philippe Gasquet - thanks for the suggestion 😀, will try to slow down for sure.

[@ryancostello3883]

You can play the video in 0.75X speed

[@arnz72]

Makes a lot of sense theses days, thanks !

[@l1mmg0t]

very good like the way you break down the incubation and Latent periods.

[@abdulsalammohamud1953]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful explanation with good examples.

[@lynnsadler668]

Thank you. Thank you. I'd love to see the original video without the irritating music like this one. This was easy to follow and process.

[@omerhussen6262]

Very Interesting debriefing, thank you!

[@gregmartin]

Thanks Omer.

[@HelenBGumba-oo8uz]

Very useful for both instructor and students

[@mohammadsaddam4662]

Hi. How do we measure maximum incubation period in propagated epid curve

[@omerhussen6262]

Also better if had presentation like this on Preventive care (Maternal health Services,MDSR)

[@gregmartin]

Will work on one (thanks for the suggestion).

[@janrazilalolod2410]

Thanks Professor! This is a great discussion!

[@gregmartin]

Thanks for the feedback Jan. Glad you liked it.

[@HiraKhan-sj9jq]

Hello. You've done a great job in sharing your knowledge and helping everyone out here. I have a question. After forming an epidemic curve, how can we predict the number of cases for the future, keeping in view the trend in the factual curve? Is there something more complex? Any other program than excel?

3blue1brown video might help

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

​@@_Vortex___ thanks for the videos guys it was released so my pet couldn't eat 😭

[@guapadavisgirl]

Excellent video!

[@mybakwaaschannel]

Thankyou greg.. loving your videos

[@gregmartin]

Thanks Muhammad - much appreciated. Glad you like the videos. Will keep them coming. Happy day. Greg

[@lim6718]

Thank you for making this helpful explanatory video. I just watched it on January 29th 2020 during the time that China is under the shadow of 2019-nCoV. Your effort to enhance awareness of prophylaxis is highly appreciated. I am personally interested in 'propagated outbreak' that you mentioned, especially its growth pattern. Is the epi curve of propagated outbreak similar to a exponential growth pattern? Slow at beginning but skyrocketing as time runs? If possible, could you make an extra video about that ?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

The pathogen curves has a red bend line from the right bottom protecting it

[@_Vortex___]

Is Latent period always within Incubation Period ? Can u give example either ways

[@tariromakombe7914]

Great lecture

[@gregmartin]

Thanks, Tariro!

[@catherineparker6]

Greg the fees for the Masters are huge. it would cost me more to do my masters than buy the plot of land we're going to be building on soon. Am I missing something? Also it is distance learning? I couldn't see for sure, but it seemed to be class based. Could you clarify?

[@gregmartin]

Hi Catherine, You are right - Masters programs do close a lot (especially if you're studying in the US and paying in South African Rands). The problem is made more difficult by the fact that, in Europe for example, subsidies are available to EU citizens and not for students coming from abroad. The only comfort that I can offer is that once you start looking, there are scholarships and support mechanisms out there that provide a lot of help. Distance learning is also an option as you can study and work at the same time and don't have the expense of living abroad. The Masters of Science in Global Health that I spoke of in the video is not a distance learning program per se (but I can find out what Notre Dame offers in terms of distance learning options and get back to you). Anyway - I hope that all is well in South Africa. Take care! :) Greg

[@mellisamabhikwa2630]

Well explained

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Pathogen has 2 curves both on the right top and bottom you get my point?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

😂👍

[@helenewebster9462]

There were additional IATROGENIC'S INJURIES...multiples Medical Predators. causation/ induced but I just don't know the name of or knew they were concealed.

[@naomivarotanalawa155]

Thanks for the clear video

[@gregmartin]

:) anytime Naomi. :)

[@cassandraakinde456]

This is amazing

What if multiple cakes were eaten by the guests….will this be a common source exposure?

[@حيدركرارذيابصبيح]

Ahh I see….water you drink it multiple times throughout a week let’s say, of exposure while I don’t think you will Be having cake for a wedding that often as drinking water from your contaminated tap for e.g

Very good lecture but you speak too fast, sometime it’s hard to understand as not a native speaker.
