TITLE:
The Coronavirus Class Divide: Space and Privacy
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/us/politics/coronavirus-poverty-privacy.html

SUMMARY: There are many places all over the world where in this moment social distancing is being practiced to its best. There are some cases where it is not possible at all for social distancing to be taking place. There are people like in thee article that live 10 people to a house. One of the house members even sleeps on the floor because of the closings of the dorms in the colleges. This is not all social distancing. Many of the house members are saying that they are scared that with all of the amount of people in the establishment can be a health concern. Especially because they all work and have contact with other people and the outside world. They would want to do something about it but money and the situation that we are in is limiting them from moving or making a change to their living conditions.

REACTIONS: This is something concerning because this is a big way that Corona virus could be spread and especially since they all still go out to work. This makes me feel bad because there are more people like this that have no other options and are stuck in situations like this.
Poverty is on a bigger skill now that Corona virus is in action. Many people are not getting paid anymore or got less hours and are making less money than usual.

RELATION TO CLASS: This connects to our class because of  not being able to have the income that people normally get. This is causing people to be stuck in ugly situations. Without the income that people are normally used to they wont be able to get many goods or services. In this case people do not have the ability to purchase a place to live so they have to settle to live all together.

Will We Flunk Pandemic Economics?

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/opinion/coronavirus-economy.html

SUMMARY: At the start of this whole pandemic the government, mainly president Trump thought that this was just a normal flu and that the people of the united states should not be alarmed. Since this was said many people all across the country have been having difficult times because they are losing their jobs left and right. This is causing numbers in the economy to drastically drop and the economy is having a hard time trying to keep up. It is said that this whole situation is something different than what has seen before. Normal recessions occur with people cutting on spending without the intention to destroy jobs. In this situation there is no intent of destroying jobs but it is happening because to spread the virus places must shut down to prevent the spread of the virus.

REACTION: This is something that is impacting many peoples lives in many different ways and no one can really do anything about it. People are losing their jobs left and right. Some people are having the opportunity to collect money from the government or go to unemployment but there are some that do not have that capability and are having trouble knowing where their next meal is going to come from. What will happen if there is no more money to give out to all of the people anymore? This is something that can a lot of stress on people and many other things can come from this.

RELATION TO CLASS: Many people across the country are jobless at the moment. This is because are closing temporarily then soon after closing for good because they were not able to continue paying rent. This leads to people not receiving income anymore and less spending which soon later leads to a recession which we are in or will be in. And with sources saying that this is something that has never been seen before it can be a difficult situation.

TITLE: Coronavirus recession is either here or on its way, economists say
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-recession-is-either-here-or-on-its-way-economists-say/

SUMMARY: The coronavirus has brought many negative impacts to many from separation of family to deaths of loved  ones. Now it is being said that a recession is a possibility. If we are not in a recession now but there are signs that we will be in one in the future from closings of many operations and businesses. It is said it could be a short one but a recession is still a recession. Yes it could be a short one but it will put us in a big hole as it will be a v shaped decline. This only the case if this virus is quickly controlled and if it goes for too long it can make the whole situation even worse. In recent days it was said that this virus can go for many more months which makes many say that there is going to be a recession.

REACTION: This is something that can be scary. It is something that scares me because it could put many people all over the world in a state of struggle. Many will be put in a position that they have never been before and will not know what to do. Many will lose almost everything that they own.

RELATION TO CLASS: This whole topic relates to class because just simply a recession. It is what is talked a lot with economics and business. It is something many want to stay  away from to avoid trouble and losing of items.

‘How Do You Decide When to Open the World Back Up?’

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/us/coronavirus-california-new-york-testing.html

SUMMARY: This article revolves around the famous coronavirus. It mainly touches base on the idea of when to open everything back up and go back to our normal lives. Everyday there is always new information that is being given on the situation at hand. With saying this there is always going to be new protocols that must be followed with new information. For example, people staying at home seems like it just keeps getting pushed back and it seems like it might never end. No  one really knows when it will all end since it is something new for everyone. With days going on there are more and more cases that are being presented. It does not seem to be slowing. It mostly has to do with people not listening to the rules that must be followed to slow this whole tragic situation down. Measures that are being asked of people is that people should keep a certain distance from each other.

REACTION: This whole situation really makes me worry because everyone is in the blinds about all of this. No one really knows what to do. We could be stuck inside for a couple months and without any knowledge on what is going on. We only know what we have been hearing and that is about it. When we go back to normal and that is if we do, will it go back to how it all was before. Again, no one really knows.

RELATION TO CLASS: With everyone that does not work in essential places they are being ordered to stay home and try to keep their distance from people as much as possible. This basically means many businesses are being closed and still are expected to pay their rent. With no income people can not continue to pay the rent so they decide to close the place down for good. With no income or money people will not be able to buy goods or services and this means money is not moving. This could lead to other places going out of business and even worse the economy could possibly go down.

Coronavirus latest: Most infections and deaths are now outside China

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00154-w

SUMMARY:  The situation that revolves all over china got to a really scary point. The virus spread all over china and it wiped a lot of the population. There was a lot of traveling going on in the world when all of this was going on. This led to tourists bring the virus back to where they live. For example, many people from the the U.S brought it back. Now it is starting to get to a scary point where it is spreading and few people are dying but people are still dying. This is causing everyone to be in quarantine. This leads to people not going to work and not making money at all. Some jobs are not paying people during this time. This is making it a difficult time for all of these people.

REACTION: This whole situation really makes me feel scared because if it continues and gets to a bigger scale then what is going to happen. People will be out of their jobs for a long period of time and it will become hard for them to get all needed goods to have a healthy life during this time period.

RELATION TO CLASS: This whole concept connects to class really well. It all revolves around the idea of not working and receiving an income for a good period of time. This is because when people are not working they tend to not receive than any money. Well in the situation that we are in at the moment is when we most need money to purchase all of the needed products for safety and live our regular lives. With no money people are not really able to do that. This could lead to not everyone buying products which means the market would go down more than it already is.

TITLE: Why the Coronavirus Could Threaten the U.S. Economy Even More Than China’s
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/06/business/coronavirus-economy-us-china.html

SUMMARY: The title basically sums the whole article, Why could the coronavirus threaten the U.S. economy even more than china? The economy of the U.S is one the advanced economies in the world and it is hardly immune to situations like this. The economy can lead to a downfall because a good amount of the population has decided to not go out to organized events. For example like school, traveling, sporting events, gym and dentist the economic consequence could become really bad. One major problem that is being discussed is that many people do lack sick time at work. This will have people still going to work and cause the virus to continue to spread. It is said in the article that with the warmer weather coming along, it might slow down the spreading of the virus as it does for the seasonal flu. With saying this, it can also put a stop on the economic problems that the U.S is currently experiencing.

REACTION: This article put me to think a lot. If people really stop going out to social gatherings or organized events that could really mean a big crash for the economy is coming soon. It scared me a lot because this will cause many families to be in major problems. For example problems buying the necessities. This can cause an outbreak and lead to people doing whatever they have to get the products that they need. Going back to the situation of lack of sick time; it is scary because the whole situation can get worse if people continue to go to work and it will cause the virus to continue spreading.

RELATION TO CLASS: This article clearly states that it revolves around the world of economics. This article connects to our class because of people not going out and spending or even working which is causing the economy to go downhill drastically. There is no revenue being made which is causing the economy to decrease in value.

TITLE:  The Big Thaw
LINK:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/big-thaw/

SUMMARY: In this article the main focus is about the catastrophe of ice caps melting because of the rise of temperatures. Throughout the article there is talks about the amount of ice caps decreasing over time due to climate changes. For example, when president Taft created the glacier national park it had 150 glaciers and to this point the amount of glaciers have decreased by a big amount. Many scientists and experts are saying it is because of the daily activities that us humans do. Burning fossil fuels and driving cars is causing the world to become polluted. The water level has been increasing in volume because of the flow of the warmer waters and the melted ice caps. If this continues it could lead to many floods around the world.

Reaction: After reading this article I was scared and shocked because all of this will really affect our daily living. The water levels are rising as we speak and if it gets to a point of the world flooding it could eliminate many humans. Let alone all of this could cause destruction all over. It will make conditions harder than they already are. This goes to show that we could be in grave danger and need to start making changes. We have to start thinking about the environment and not just ourselves. With change we can at least slow down the process or stop it completely.

RELATION TO CLASS: This article does not directly talk about how it relates to economics but it does. With all of this mess going on people are going to want to help the cause and find ways to make the earth a better place to live. With saying this there is going to be a high demand for products that would help in this cause. There are going to be many products invented to ensure a longer life here on earth. This topic is so important that I see a future where ideas could be sold as well. I see people trying to make change for the wrong ideas.

TITLE: Tesla’s Stock Is Up 36% in Two Days. What’s Going On?
LINK:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/business/tesla-stock-price.html
SUMMARY: In this reading the famous car corporation is being talked about. Elon Musk’s global company Tesla is being talked about here. Tesla is almost always on the news either because they are releasing a new electric vehicle of some sort or because things are going downhill. In this article that is not the case. It is being said that in just only two days Tesla’s stock went up drastically. With their stock going up many people want in on it, even the people that were betting against Tesla because of their last downfall that made people lose money. Since there are more and more people wanting to buy Tesla products, the prices for their vehicle were made more affordable. This makes sense though because the company is seeing a bigger demand which means if the price is lower that will make even more people buy the cars.

REACTION: I found an article like this one because cars have always caught my attention and all of the ups and downs a company has. Tesla is a company that I always like to keep my eye open for because they are a company of innovation and with innovation comes a more positive future for the people and the world. I was drawn in because of the title that basically said that Tesla was soaring at the moment. I felt proud of Tesla because they really did not start the year 2019 that well and now they started this new year way better. The company is now soaring with more people wanting their products.

RELATION TO CLASS: This passage goes hand in hand with economics because in economics things affect other things to have a certain outcome. Like for example Tesla does that a lot. Lately there have been a lot of commercials for Tesla. These commercials have been played at countless moments and the super bowl was one of the times. That is a time where a lot of the world is watching and by all these people seeing these commercials it made them want to buy their product. This is where the moment of certain events affects other things to have a certain outcome. In this case the commercials caused the sales for Tesla to go up.

TITLE: Coronavirus outbreak: Whats next?
LINK:
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00236-9

SUMMARY: The main topic of this article is about the infamous Coronavirus. It goes in depth with what trained personnel are doing to try to get the contaminated people isolated and get rid of the virus. With how everything is in China, many are saying that it is getting out of hand. It is said because the virus keeps on spreading without remorse. By spreading how it is, the virus is possible to spread outside of China. With it being so early it is not sure if the cautions of masks and putting people in quarantine is working. The epidemic has gotten so bad that the World Health Organization has said that this outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern. The death toll increases daily which is why there is so much concern behind it. It is not known if the virus is here to stay, but if efforts fail then it can become endemic; it will be around regularly similar to chicken pox.

Reaction: Just without reading the article I found it very interesting because it is something very recent and it affects our daily lives. It is so crazy to me how quickly this virus is spreading and how many have passed away  because of it. It first started in China and now recently there have been cases in the United states. That is just scary because what if someone you know has it. Also, it can spread like how it did in china and that is what scares me the most. I just really hope that this virus can be stopped and that everyone that is infected can be cured.

RELATION TO CLASS: I chose this article about the famous coronavirus because it has a lot to do about what is always talked about in class, the economy. With this virus going around who is going to want to go to China for a business trip or a vacation with the family. With the tourism going down the profit that is made from it will drastically decrease. Since many places in China are closed no one is going to be able to enter regardless. There will be no gain in profit because of this and this could lead to China in the future falling. Another thing is that trade from other countries will most likely go down because of the virus. For example, the United States is a place that trades and buys from China. The United States to keep its people safe and from getting sick will stop trading with China and that  is no good for China. This is because what if the goods that are coming from China have the bacteria of the Coronavirus. This will also cause China’s economy to go drastically down hill.

TITLE: The Importance of GDP
LINK: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/121213/gdp-and-its-importance.asp

SUMMARY: The main topic of the entire article by Elvis Picardo is GDP. More precisely about how very important GDP is for the economy. It is the most used measure of our economy's output or production. It helps in a huge way to determine the economy's growth. GDP is very important because it is able to tell central banks and policymakers if the economy is contracting or expanding and then if it needs a boost or restraint. With it there is always a way to detect a threat of recession or inflation.

REACTION: I found this article very interesting because i knew about GDP but I did not know that it could tell if there is going to be a threat of inflation. That is something that i find useful because it gives the right people a chance to be able to help the economy or make a change. This is good because this way there is a low chance that the economy with crash.

RELATION TO CLASS: I chose this article because it has to do with what we are talking about in class at the moment. The same amount of information I learned in class is what i read and more which is something i always like about a article.
