Great video! This is very helpful for the netizens. The first time I heard about Meningococcal infection was way back 2004. It had an outbreak during Christmas season ten years ago. Aside from that, I am a nursing major, and I took my microbiology class last year at CPCC Central campus. I learned a lot about meningococcal infection and its pathogen in my microbiology class. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Neisseria Meningitis is a bacterium that causes a meningococcal infection; it is also known as meningococcus. This bacterium causes very serious and contagious life-threatening diseases such Meningitis and Meningococcemia. When a person has meningococcal infection, his or her brain and spinal protective membranes become infected and swollen. The symptoms include sudden onset of fever, headaches, and stiff neck. There are often additional symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and confusion. Typically, the symptoms develop within 3-7 days after exposure. Since the early 1990s, outbreaks of meningococcal disease have occurred with increasing frequency in the United States. Neisseria meningitidis has become the leading cause of bacterial Meningitis in the United States, it carries high mortality rate if left untreated. Each year, an estimated 1,400 to 2,800 cases of meningococcal disease occur in the United States. These infections are major causes of illnesses, death and disability in both developed and under developed countries worldwide. We can prevent the possibility of having these infections by practicing good hygiene and a healthy lifestyle. Do not stay in crowded places. Also, Meningococcal vaccines protect humans against the disease; however, it does not prevent all cases.

you need more presentation practice... scribbling on a black board is lame and unorganized
Ya, better type than write with terrible hand writing. Faster and can read and identify the letters.
