Although the cumulative rate is low, one in three children hospitalized with COVID-19 was admitted to an intensive care unit so the risk is not negligible (8). Similarly, the death rate among school-aged children is much lower than the rate among adults (9, 10). Also, the comparatively low risk for hospitalization and death among children themselves must be contextualized to the risk posed to teachers, school administrators, and other staff in the school environment.

These clinics have appeared mostly in California, but there are clinics in many states. These clinics offer unproven treatment, and this has lead to blindness, central nervous system infections, and even tumors. These treatments cost thousands of dollars to pay for, and they never actually end up working. Stem cell therapy is still in its very early stages, and yet the fact that it has been in the news for so long leads many to believe that it is an actual medical practice, when in reality it is still in development, and all of the current clinics are purely scams. In my opinion, we need to learn to be more patient when it comes to things like this or else we might end up hurting ourselves. ]]> 2020-10-23 12:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/855521744 White supremacists' sabotage in the protests. student63267 https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/855566495 As the protests across the United States, and places not limited to North America, are spreading the sabotage and effects of white nationalists and their actions on the protesters both peaceful and non.

This would allow researchers to immensely speed up the ongoing developments of stem cell treatments. There are, however, both pros and cons to this. On one hand, this would allow for the potential to find treatments for chronic diseases such as Parkinson's and cancer. Without this funding, medical discoveries in this field would be much more scarce. On the other hand, it would add a decent amount of debt to California, along with the fact that it is not guaranteed to work. Despite this, I believe this proposition is very important for the progression of medical science. Now would be a bad time to implement this as we should be focusing our money on Covid-19, but this would be a great allocation of money in the future as it could really save a lot of lives.

Although this plan seems perfect, it isn't exactly. This means that many drug kings, cartels, etc could easily get into the U.S. On the other hand, Trump's immigration plan consists of many executive orders regulating who comes in and out of the country to prevent drugs, terrorists, etc from entering the country, however he is using family separation at the border as a weapon to prevent this. This country was made to present new opportunities to people that have been strippped of their rights in their home countries. Everyone's ancestors (with the exception of people with Native American ancestry) came from somewhere elsewhere in hope of a new life and new opportunities, so why is it that we're taking away these opportunities from these people?

She spent four years in the human trafficking ring being forced to have 🤬 30 times a day, seven days a week. It is estimated that she was raped 43,200 times while there. She was 12 years old when she was forced  into the prostitution ring. When she thought that she would be saved by the police, the police officers threatened them with compromising pictures and told them to do everything they said. Later on, she gave birth at 15, and the baby was used as leverage by the pimps to keep her in the business. After four long years, she was finally rescued when she was 16.This needs to be stopped.

Stem cells can divide into additional "daughter" cells which can either for new stem cells or form into specialized cells. Since these cells can form into other cells, they are the subject of heavy interest as they can potentially replace diseased cells which can cure diseases or repair tissue. However, the source of controversy comes in one of the sources of the stem cells: embryos. Embryonic stem cells are much more versatile compared to adult stem cells, and can potentially be used to repair tissue or organs. Some believe it immoral to take cells from embryos, but in my opinion it is completely necessary. Adult cells are not nearly as versatile, and the stem cells are taken from unneeded embryos that were never planted in a woman's uterus in the first place. In my opinion, this has the potential to lead to great medical leaps that will rapidly lead to development in curing diseases and tissue.]]> 2020-11-06 13:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/897484527 Vaping student64381 https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/898326017 Vaping is not only dangerous to you, but also to those around you.]]> 2020-11-06 17:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/898326017 Deforestation effect on animals student66399 https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/898941052 Deforestation is main cause for animals loss of habitat.

There was a case where a black girl, Tamla Horsford, died at an all white sleepover in 2018. I was in a club and we had a field trip away from school.

The money will be repaid from taxpayers over a 30 year period, and this will greatly speed up the development of stem cell treatment. This was highly necessary as research being put into this topic was fairly minimal for a while, so this will be a big leap for the promising medical development. While some may argue that it's bad for the taxpayers to pay back this money, I believe it is completely ok as it is being done over a long period as to not make a noticeable difference, and the potential this money has to save lives is incredible. ]]> 2020-11-13 18:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/921288548 LGBTQ EQUALITY student82087 https://padlet.com/shannonpounds/ilptrfzd2mi60deg/wish/921338784 "Marriage equality is now the law, but we still have a long way to go in the struggle for equal rights.

For people with COPD, face masks are in fact intolerable to wear as they worsen their breathlessness.[5] Moreover, a fraction of carbon dioxide previously exhaled is inhaled at each respiratory cycle. Those two phenomena increase breathing frequency and deepness, and hence they increase the amount of inhaled and exhaled air. This may worsen the burden of covid-19 if infected people wearing masks spread more contaminated air. This may also worsen the clinical condition of infected people if the enhanced breathing pushes the viral load down into their lungs.

The reason is because these new religions and belief systems are labelled "Cults" and nobody likes cults or cultists.

For example, if someone was to break into a gun owner’s house, the gun owner would use the gun to protect their family from the intruder. Without this right, it would be much harder for them to protect their family from the intruder. While some would argue that they could just call the police, while that is partly true, no one ever knows how long it would take the police to get there. By that time, the intruder could have already left or worse, he could have already harmed the family.

But a person’s mind governs their actions and unfortunately, or rather fortunately, our minds reside beyond the reaches of legislation. We must reluctantly accept the truth that there is no law that can stop a desperate individual seeking to unleash their hateful wrath.

It's part of the failure to make people take responsibility for their actions that is condoned by politicians and media both. gun control would appear to be ineffective at best and counterproductive at worst.
So using the scientific approach that Mr. Garon favors it would seem that gun control restricts the rights of the honest citizen while not having the slightest effect on the problem of gun violence.

People commit acts of violence against other for a variety of reasons, but it is a core issue of value that we must look at as a society to begin fixing the issues of violence that occur. We must think that all human life and its potential is priceless for us to begin moving beyond where we are at. Most incidents of violence that involve a gun are self-defense actions.

Those people who argue against gun control feel that laws do not reduce gun violence. They think that the handiness of illegal guns makes it easy to engage in crimes regardless of limited or no access to licensed firearms. A 2016 news article states, most crimes are performed by those with access to illegal guns, and legal gun owners do only a small section of those crimes.” In approximately eight out of ten cases, the perpetrator was not a permitted gun owner but rather in illegal possession of a weapon that belonged to someone else.”
