Analysis

1- The topic impacts the population both locally and globally through regulations that protect people all
over the world. As illustrated by the article, people must follow health rules which are important steps
in stopping the transmission of COVID-19 that has killed many people. In this case, the source of this
mandate is the current pandemic in the U.S. and other countries which is causing a great number of
deaths and hospitalizations. Moreover, individual businesses are setting their own vaccination
requirements and a separate mandate demanding vaccinations for health care workers is being
enforced. This proves that the virus directly affects people's lives and globally impacts the population.
