Question 1

Tesla’s scandal are On February 9, the California Department of Fair


Employment and Housing filed a lawsuit against Tesla alleging racial
discrimination at its Fremont factory after receiving hundreds of complaints
and conducting a 32-month investigation. The lawsuit details the abominable
treatment of black workers at the factory, including an alleged practice of
separating them into areas that other employees refer to as "plantation" and
"slave ship." Regulators also say black workers at the factory faced abuse
and racist graffiti, which the company was slow to remove amid the toughest
jobs and denial of equal pay and advancement opportunities. In a 2017 email
Musk sent to employees, which appeared to refer to a previous class action
lawsuit related to similar issues at the Fremont plant, Musk wrote that anyone
who utters an "unintentional insult" should apologize and that the victim
should be "insensitive" and accept the apology. Tesla has claimed that
opposes discrimination and harassment, claiming that the department is
ruthlessly attacking a company that "has done so much good for California."

A nonprofit advocacy group called the Physicians Committee for Responsible


Medicine filed a high-profile complaint with the US Department of Agriculture
over experiments conducted by Musk's neurotech company Neuralink in
collaboration with the University of California, Davis. The group says they
obtained records showing that experiments attempting to implant computer
chips in the brains of macaque monkeys were plagued by a "pattern of
extreme suffering and neglect by staff". Of the 23,monkeys involved in the
experiment, 15 would have died.According to the group, lab workers used an
unapproved substance called "BioGlue," which destroyed parts of the brains
of some monkeys and also locked the monkeys on their own. The workers
allegedly failed to provide adequate veterinary care to the monkeys, which
suffered seizures and infections as complications of their brain implant
surgeries, and in some cases the test subjects could not even be used for the
experiments because they had to be euthanized in Neuralink, which is still
conducting similar experiments, confirmed the monkeys died but denied the
allegations of animal cruelty.

Mr. Musk, who had long dismissed the seriousness of the coronavirus. He has
promoted unproven research suggesting that deaths from the virus are
overstated and, around the time the factory was closed, predicted that there
would be zero new cases in the United States by the end of April. (There were
almost 32,000 new cases on April 30.)

Mr. Musk resisted closing the plant, and in a late-April 2020 call with analysts
called stay-at-home orders “fascist.” “They’re breaking people’s freedoms in
ways that are wrong and are not why people came here or built this country,”
said Mr. Musk, who is a native of South Africa
Question 2

Elon Musk is liable for the reported cases for coronavirus. Current evidence
suggests that the virus mainly spreads between people who are in close
contact, such as within talking distance. The virus can spread from an infected
person's mouth or nose in small particles of fluid when they cough, sneeze,
speak, sing, or breathe. Another person can get the virus if airborne infectious
particles are inhaled at close range (this is often called a short-range aerosol
or short-range airborne transmission) or if infectious particles come into direct
contact with the eyes, nose or the mouth (droplet transmission).

The virus can also spread in crowded and poorly ventilated closed
environments where people tend to spend more time. This is because
aerosols can remain airborne or spread beyond conversation distance (this is
often referred to as long range aerosol or long range airborne
transmission).People can also become infected by touching their eyes, nose,
or mouth after touching surfaces or objects contaminated with the virus.
Research is being carried out to better understand the spread of the virus and
which environments are more risky and why.

Research is also being done to look at the variants of viruses that are
emerging and why some are more easily transmissible. With COVID-19 cases
reported around the world, health officials are focused on slowing the spread.
By understanding how the coronavirus spreads, you can take the right steps
to avoid getting sick and infecting others.

Other than that, Human-to-human transmission. Experts believe that the virus
that causes COVID19 spreads mainly from person to person. This can be
done in different ways either by drops or sprays. This is the most common
transmission.When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks, tiny
droplets or particles called aerosols carry the virus from their nose or mouth
into the air. Research shows that the virus can survive in the air for up to 3
hours. It can get into your lungs when someone who has it exhales and you
breathe in that air.Experts are divided on how often the virus spreads through
the air and how much it contributes to the pandemic. And also when the
workers touch surfaces that someone with the virus has sneezed or coughed
on. You can touch a contaminated countertop or doorknob and then touch
your nose, mouth, or eyes. The virus can survive on surfaces such as plastic
and stainless steel for 2-3 days.To stop this, clean and disinfect all counters,
doorknobs, and other surfaces you and your family touch several times a day.

Studies also suggest that virus particles can be found in the feces of infected
people. However, experts are unsure whether the infection can be transmitted
through contact with an infected person's feces. If this person uses the
bathroom and doesn't wash their hands, they could infect things and people
they touch.The virus is most commonly transmitted by people with symptoms.
But it is possible to transfer it without showing signs. Some people, unaware
they have been infected, can pass it on to others. This is called asymptomatic
spread. You can also spread it before you notice any signs of infection, which
is called pre-symptomatic spread.
Question 3

Prevent the spread of the coronavirus according to World Health Organization


(WHO) and national guidelines anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 (or new
flu-like symptoms) should self-isolate (or quarantine). instantly. for 10 days
after onset of symptoms.

During this time, infected (or suspected) people should not leave their homes
except for essential purposes. Purchases should be made on your behalf by a
family member or friend whenever possible.Wherever an infected person
needs to leave their home, they should maintain social distancing and wear a
face covering at all times.

The CDC recommends a 6-foot rule of social distancing in all settings (except
those within the same household or those forming exclusive social bubbles).

The evidence for the use of masks or face coverings was initially ambiguous,
however the evidence strongly points to the use of face coverings in public
places to prevent spread. Many countries now legally require people to wear a
face covering in public places, including transport, shops and supermarkets.
Wearing a mask significantly reduces the risk of transmission of the
virus.However, children under the age of 2 or those with conditions such as
severe asthma are not required to wear a face covering and may receive
official exemptions in some countries.

Washing hands for 20 seconds with soap and hot water is an effective way to
remove virus particles from hands and should be done more regularly than
usual. Washing should be done especially after returning home from
somewhere, such as after shopping or working in an office or community
facility.

Hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol are also effective and should be
used when washing is not possible. However, hand sanitizers are not as
effective as proper handwashing, so handwashing should be the option
whenever possible.Also, people should avoid touching their face with
unwashed hands.

Preventive strategies such as the above, in addition to government guidelines


and compliance with such strategies, are vital to prevent the spread of the
disease and reduce the R number to stave off the growth of the pandemic.
