They are using the same tactics to fight back COVID-19 today as they did with the 1918 influenza, we need to act fast and implant interventions. ]]> 2020-05-01 14:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/544174307 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/544251209 I learned about how pollution makes the symptoms and chances of getting COVID - 19 worse but how the pandemic has caused the air to be cleaner. ]]> 2020-05-01 15:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/544251209 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/544879028 I learned that during the influenza outbreak in 1918, there was racial prejudice, similar to the prejudice around COVID-19. Governments are implementing similar social distancing policies to the policies that were in place in the 1918 pandemic.]]> 2020-05-01 21:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/544879028 ecminer1_1 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/545821385 Pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic both impact each other in different ways. One study found that in areas where the particle PM 2.5 is inhaled, the chance of death is much higher than areas without a large amount of PM 2.5: “counties [in the United States] that average just one microgram per cubic meter more PM 2.5 in the air had a COVID-19 death rate that was 15 percent higher”(Pollution Made COVID-19 Worse. Now Lockdowns Are Cleaning the Air). Fine air pollution particles that get inside of the human body also cause things like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and having trouble breathing while also weakening the immune system and lungs. These factors contribute to the direct correlation between deaths from COVID-19 and air pollution. Pollution has also declined dramatically during the COVID-19 lockdown. However, this decline in population will probably be short lived, and the amount of pollution might even get worse after most countries are out of lockdown. Hopefully, the COVID-19 pandemic will change people's mindset about pollution and help them realize that air pollution and other kinds of pollution can be controlled.]]> 2020-05-02 17:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/545821385 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546151445 I learned that the 1918 flu pandemic infected one third of the world population, and that it killed around 50 to 100 million people. Today, there is evidence that pandemics will become more common as urbanization increases.]]> 2020-05-03 00:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546151445 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546191973 This article talks about how the Corona virus is similar in some ways to the influenza pandemic. It states that this outbreak of COVID-19 has the potential to be as bad as the 1918 influenza outbreak which infected one third of the people on earth. As urbanization has increased nowadays it is likely to spread quicker.]]> 2020-05-03 02:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546191973 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546748958 From this article I learned that the 1918 influenza pandemic was very similar to Covid 19. There were social distancing measures and people had to wear masks over their mouth and noses. I thought it was really interesting to see how we are still using the same techniques we used in 1918.]]> 2020-05-03 12:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546748958 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546966784 I learned how the safety measures that were taken during the 1918 influenza pandemic were similar to the ones taken now. For example, people had to social distance and quarantine and how in some cities people had to wear masks in public. I also found interesting that the police were given permission to arrest anyone in Chicago who was seen not covering their face while sneezing.]]> 2020-05-03 14:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/546966784 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/547205362 I learned all about how pollution increases the chances of getting Covid-19 and the  effects  of  the symptoms. Now that everyone is in  lockdown the  air is much cleaner  and  nicer outside.  New York's pollution rates has gone down 22% and Los angeles  down 33%. These cities usually have a lot of traffic  and with the less cars pollution rates have dropped a lot. ]]> 2020-05-03 16:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/547205362 hmcgivern1_1 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/547437740 I learned that even if there is a little bit more air pollution in a specific area Covid-19 death rates are normally much higher. While Covid-19 is much more lethal due to the levels of air pollution currently, air pollution is declining due to people staying at home and quarantining.]]> 2020-05-03 19:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/547437740 https://padlet.com/wsvatek1_1/FGV/wish/549461523 I learned a lot about the similarities between the 1918 influenza and covid 19. I also learned that they are going to try to use some of the strategies they used back then with covid.
