Why are communicable diseases potentially more dangerous than non-communicable diseases in a community?
Communicable diseases can spread easily from person to person, leading to rapid outbreaks and higher infection rates in a community.

Non-communicable diseases, on the other hand, are typically chronic conditions that do not spread through direct contact.
Why is it better to use the term transmission when describing how diseases are spread rather than saying passed from person to person?
Using the term "transmission" is more accurate because it includes all possible mechanisms by which diseases can be spread, such as through air, water, or vector-borne routes, not just exclusively person-to-person. It also helps to convey the idea that diseases can be transmitted in various ways beyond direct contact between individuals.
