Personally, my mother is immunocompromised, so we work towards following CDC guidelines, wearing masks, and washing out hands more frequently.]]> 2021-07-19 02:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654189502 ishanmadan2109 https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654190605 Most people don't know that not wearing a mask can still endanger many people, even when fully vaccinated. For this reason, many people protest wearing masks and flat out stop when fully vaccinated, which promotes the spread of COVID-19 throughout communities in the US. This severely detriments communities as more people die due to the spread of COVID-19]]> 2021-07-19 02:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654190605 jzmnmrgn https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654191752 While we had our world quarantine, with our quarantine the air quality improved significantly. As we begin to get back out and remove our masks as well as disregard social distancing, we notice how air quality being negatively effected.]]> 2021-07-19 02:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654191752 kritiv2004 https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654193213 I definitely think people being irresponsible and refusing to adhere to safety precautions and guidelines is the reason why this pandemic has lasted so long. Additionally, the cost of healthcare is absurd in the U.S., so that is a huge barrier that is preventing many families from getting access to treatment facilities and healthcare workers.]]> 2021-07-19 02:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654193213 ishanmadan2109 https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654197367 Many people lack this essential knowledge because our news, social media, and schools do not properly teach people about the necessity of masks. Much of social media and news focuses on those who don't wear masks rather than those who promote the wearing of masks because people like to see the "rebels", not the "rule-followers". Additionally, our education system does not dedicate enough resources to educating people on the necessity for masks. While the US education system is great in the STEM fields, it neglects the essential education in this time of need. Overall, the main root cause for the lack of education on the prevention of the COVID surge is due to the normal desire for humans to watch and learn more about the "rebels" rather than the "rule-followers". Most people know in the back of their head that they should be wearing a mask, but don't wear one because they are exposed online to many people who don't follow the guidelines to remain safe.]]> 2021-07-19 02:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654197367 jzmnmrgn https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654219568 As we needed to go into quarantine, we stepped away from destroying our environment. We didn't drive our cars as much, we didn't go outside as much nor did we cut down as many trees, this left us with cleaner and more breathable air. ]]> 2021-07-19 02:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1654219568 rosadita0609 https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1656788039 Socially it affects quite a lot, both the social welfare of ourselves and our social realtions itself. Covid 19 is here to stay and unfortunately it was very much reflected in taking away our social relationships through restrictive quarantines, health prevention measures, etc. It is also quite important to talk about how being locked up for a long time as a consequence of the virus affects our mental health socially.]]> 2021-07-21 04:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1656788039 rosadita0609 https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1656793391 I truly believe that the root of the social problems that this COVID-19 pandemic has brought has been the total confinement in some sectors, not being able to go out with all the sanitary measures, but at the same time all this as a result of the irresponsibility of society itself who still do not take the weight of how dangerous this virus is. It should also be noted that the promulgation of misinformation has been one of the main causes of the social problems caused by the pandemic.]]> 2021-07-21 04:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ishanmadan2109/yellowfam1rootcauses/wish/1656793391
