I chose this article because over time a lot of news channel will mention helpful procedures to prevent getting any viruses and especially COVID-19. They’ll mention a lot of products such as hand sanitizers, face masks, Lysol, and bleach. It makes people think that they cannot live without those products and hopefully to help them at any cause since mostly everyone in the states are scared. For example, in the textbook (Pg 527) it mentions that "Social change may bring both good and bad consequences", this is probably the best thing to do in this situation since we do not know when it is going to end.

How to Protect Yourself and Others

COVID-19 Prevention Actions

There are many ways your actions can help protect you, your household, and your community from severe illness from COVID-19. CDC's COVID-19 hospital admission levels provide information about the amount of severe illness in the community where you are located to help you decide when to take action to protect yourself and others.

Prevention Actions to Use at All COVID-19 Community Levels

In addition to basic health and hygiene practices, like handwashing, CDC recommends some prevention actions at all COVID-19 hospital admission levels, which include:

To find COVID-19 vaccine locations near you: Search vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233.

Improving Ventilation and Spending Time Outdoors

Improving ventilation (moving air into, out of, or within a room) and filtration (trapping particles on a filter to remove them from the air) can help prevent virus particles from accumulating in indoor air. Improving ventilation and filtration can help protect you from getting infected with and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Spending time outside when possible instead of inside can also help: Viral particles spread between people more readily indoors than outdoors.

Actions that can improve ventilation and filtration include:

Bringing in as much outdoor air as possible-for example, opening windows.

Increasing air filtration in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, such as by changing filters frequently and using filters that are properly fitted and provide higher filtration.

Using portable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) cleaners.

Turning on exhaust fans and using other fans to improve air flow.

Turning your thermostat to the "ON" position instead of "AUTO" to ensure your HVAC system provides continuous airflow and filtration.

CDC's interactive ventilation tools can help you see how much you can improve ventilation in your home or school.

Moving indoor activities outdoors

You are less likely to be infected with COVID-19 during outdoor activities because virus particles do not build up in the air outdoors as much as they do indoors. As the COVID-19 hospital admission level rises, consider increasing the number of group activities you move outside.

Financial support may be available to certain entities, like schools, to make ventilation improvements.

Getting Tested for COVID-19

Get tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms. A viral test tells you if you are infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you should get tested for COVID-19 immediately. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 and do not have symptoms, you should test 5 full days after your exposure. If you do not test at the right time, you are more likely to get an inaccurate test result.

You may choose to get a PCR test at a testing site or healthcare facility. PCR tests are more likely to detect the virus compared to antigen tests. Rapid antigen tests provide results quickly and are available at testing sites or for use at-home. FDA recommends 2 negative antigen tests (if you have symptoms) or 3 negative antigen tests (if you do not have symptoms), performed 2 days (48 hours) apart to be confident that you do not have COVID-19.

Even when you don't have symptoms or a recent exposure to COVID-19, testing may help you make informed decisions about your health and your risk of spreading COVID-19 to others, especially those who are at higher risk of severe illness.

Following Recommendations for What to Do If You Have Been Exposed

If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19, you may have been infected with the virus. Follow CDC's recommendations for what to do if you were exposed. This includes wearing a high-quality mask when indoors around others (including inside your home) for 10 days, testing, and monitoring yourself for symptoms.

Staying Home When You Have Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19

If you have COVID-19, you can spread it to others, even if you do not have symptoms. If you have symptoms, get tested and stay home until you have your results. If you have tested positive (even without symptoms), follow CDC's  isolation recommendations. These recommendations include staying home and away from others for at least 5 days (possibly more, depending on how the virus affects you) and wearing a high-quality mask when indoors around others for a period of time.

Seeking Treatment If You Have COVID-19 and Are at High Risk of Getting Very Sick

Effective treatments are now widely available and free, and you may be eligible.

Contact your healthcare provider, health department, or Community Health Center to learn about treatment options.

Don't delay! Treatment must be started within a few days after you first develop symptoms to be effective.

If you don't have timely access to a healthcare provider, check if a Test to Treat location is in your community. You can get tested, receive a prescription from a healthcare provider (either onsite or by telehealth), and have it filled all at one location.

Avoiding Contact with People Who Have Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19

Avoiding contact with people who have COVID-19, whether or not they feel sick, can reduce your risk of catching the virus from them. If possible, avoid being around a person who has COVID-19 until they can safely end home isolation. Sometimes it may not be practical for you to stay away from a person who has COVID-19 or you may want to help take care of them. In those situations, use as many prevention strategies as you can, such as practicing hand hygiene, consistently and correctly wearing a high-quality mask, improving ventilation, and keeping your distance, when possible, from the person who is sick or who tested positive.

Prevention Actions to Add as Needed

There are some additional prevention actions that may be done at any level, but CDC especially recommends considering in certain circumstances or at medium or high COVID-19 hospital admission levels.

Wearing Masks or Respirators

Masks are made to contain droplets and particles that you breathe, cough, or sneeze out. A variety of masks are available. Some masks provide a higher level of protection than others.

Respirators (for example, N95) are made to protect you by fitting closely on the face to filter out particles, including the virus that causes COVID-19. They can also block droplets and particles you breathe, cough, or sneeze out so you do not spread them to others. Respirators (for example, N95) provide higher protection than masks.

When wearing a mask or respirator (for example, N95), it is most important to choose one that you can wear correctly, that fits closely to your face over your mouth and nose, that provides good protection, and that is comfortable for you.

Increasing Space and Distance

Small particles that people breathe out can contain virus particles. The closer you are to a greater number of people, the more likely you are to be exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19. To avoid this possible exposure, you may want to avoid crowded areas, or keep distance between yourself and others. These actions also protect people who are at high risk for getting very sick from COVID-19 in settings where there are multiple risks for exposure.

There is a photo being shown below demonstrates that a lot of people that are Republicans are protesting for the "Stay at home" quarantine their "American Free Will". The reason why this is social change is because most of those people started protesting without even realizing it and joined the team automatically. But this social change is very controversial because it does not benefit everyone in the states because many people are still dying due to COVID-19 by spreading the germs around.  For example on the textbook (Pg 528) it mentions "many people may be involved without most having any direct interaction with others", this is how people get easily involved with anything in their surroundings.

Republican governors are facing a new challenge as they fight to stop the spread of coronavirus: pressure from their own right flanks.

While the biggest protests calling for an end to stay-at-home orders and business restrictions have hit Democratic governors, conservative activists and groups are intensifying pressure on GOP governors they say are being too deliberative as their economies stagger and jobless rates spiral - part of a hyperaggressive effort on the right to reshape the debate over the financial ravages of Covid-19.

Across Texas, Arizona, Missouri and Ohio, dozens of conservative and libertarian state leaders and business owners told POLITICO they are planning more demonstrations and agitating to open more businesses, even after President Donald Trump sideswiped Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp last week for including spas, barber shops and gyms in the initial stages of his recovery plan.

I found this meme to be remarkable because so many of us use social media and sometimes we do not realize how bad it'll affect us when we try to solve a real life situation that is targeting you. Majority of the people that argue a lot through social media become weak on the inside, mainly spiritually weak. People like Youtuber's have high income but will feel isolated at times.  For example, in the textbook (Pg 539) it explains that "it is marked by weak kinship and impersonal neighborhoods, leaving individuals to feel socially isolated, this is what weakens people's "outside" personality when they meet the real world.

The reason that I chose this quote was because it caught my attention in a way, most people that live in a capitalist environment accepts situations from their leader without any questions. In a way some things are organized and not much people are having freedom but they do respect their leader. For example in the textbook it analyzing that "A capitalist economy pursues ever-greater profits, both production and consumption steadily increase (Pg 541). Capitalists will focus more on their healthcare but will take poverty with no questions asked.

Being in this modern world is best to be the black sheep because people will start to lay eyes on you. In this academic article (From the SWC database) by Daniel
D’Addario explains how celebrities rebuild their life going through some harsh situations in their past. Everything that they have done was not pleasant, that is why every fan of theirs follows their lead in fame. For example in the textbook it says that "Most people in modern societies have the privacy and freedom to express their individuality" (Pg 542), these type of people express their freedom that nobody else has done.

The hashtag "#relationshipgoals," usually appended to a picture of an enviable (and enviably famous) couple, has become an inescapable part of social media just in time for Valentine's Day: Every high-profile relationship, it seems, has someone who looks at it as a model.

And yet some relationships are more #relationshipgoals than others. Hollywood, known for producing news about acrimonious breakups, has also given us several pairings that live on, for various reasons, in the popular imagination. These couples are as enduring, if not more so, than the films or songs they produced - and they give us all something to which to aspire.

Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn

The couple, best known for appearing in Cocoon together and for her Oscar win for Driving Miss Daisy, did almost everything together in the later stages of their fifty-year marriage, from Broadway plays to the alien comedy Batteries Not Included.

This photo relates to the era we are in, now a days many people want to take things into their own hands and will not bother to look at anyone else's point of view. There is always going to be that one person that wants to be right on every decision that he makes or says. We battle with that every time and we see that everywhere that we go like the news channel, school, politics, and especially in social media. For example in the textbook (Pg 546) it says "the twentieth century was unsuccessful in solving social problems such as poverty", Sometimes it is better to take a breath and look at everything in a different angle.

One of my personal favorite geniuses, this is one step closer for being in the advance future, and Elon Musk is doing everything that he can to achieve that with underground tunnels. For example, in the textbook it analyzing that "technological change, especially the industrial Rev. enhanced human productivity and raised living standards in many nations" (Pg 546),Transportation like buses, trains, and airplanes had impacted society very big and made traveling very affordable and easy. This idea of the underground tunnel with electric cars will stop reduced car crashes in the streets and deaths that have been caused by it. This first helps the society that has the money to afford a Tesla, then later on more people will be willing to use underground tunnels.
