The Problem With China

By: Erick Garcia and Jeffery

What is coronavirus
coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. Some cause illness in people, and
others, such as canine and feline coronaviruses, only infect animals. Rarely,
animal coronaviruses that infect animals have emerged to infect people and can
spread between people. This is suspected to have occurred for the virus that
causes COVID-19. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) are two other examples of coronaviruses that
originated from animals and then spread to people.
How did it Start
COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, a city in China, in December 2019.
Although health officials are still tracing the exact source of this new
coronavirus, early hypotheses thought it may be linked to a seafood
market in Wuhan, China. Some people who visited the market
developed viral pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus.
How it affects communities
The coronavirus effects our communities by making us distrust of
each other and basically make us go by the dog eat dog mind set.
How serious is it?
The official reports say that about 3,080 people have died to the
Coronavirus and there’s an estimated 90.00 people infected with it.
The communities that are affected
An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus
(SARS-CoV-2) began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019, and has spread throughout
China and to 31 other countries and territories, including the United States (1). As of February 23, 2020,
there were 76,936 reported cases in mainland China and 1,875 cases in locations outside mainland China
(1). There have been 2,462 associated deaths worldwide; no deaths have been reported in the United
States. Fourteen cases have been diagnosed in the United States, and an additional 39 cases have
occurred among repatriated persons from high-risk settings, for a current total of 53 cases within the
United States. This report summarizes the aggressive measures (2,3) that CDC, state and local health
departments, multiple other federal agencies, and other partners are implementing to slow and try to
contain transmission of COVID-19 in the United States. These measures require the identification of
cases and contacts of persons with COVID-19 in the United States and the recommended assessment,
monitoring, and care of travelers arriving from areas with substantial COVID-19 transmission.
How there treating it
today, as the country faces the possibility of a widespread outbreak of a new respiratory infection caused by the coronavirus,
there are nowhere near that many ventilators, and most are already in use. Only about 62,000 full-featured ventilators were
in hospitals across the country, a 2010 study found. More than 10,000 others are stored in the Strategic National Stockpile,
a federal cache of supplies and medicines held in case of emergencies, according to Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, a former
director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Tens of thousands of other respiratory devices could be
repurposed in an emergency, experts say, but the shortfall could be stark, potentially forcing doctors to make excruciating
life-or-death decisions about who would get such help should hospitals become flooded with the desperately sick.
What is your solution
My solution would be to close down every type of travel mandatory check ups
basically impose martial law make it so this disease would not spread lock down
find everyone who is infected and put them in isolation move people out of their
homes
