Covid-19 and influenza have been a major problem all around the world, but thankfully human efforts haven't gone unnoticed. Because people have been taken the threat of Covid-19 more seriously, by wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and avoiding large groups, influenzas' presence as diminished significantly in some places. Australia is seeing a record low number of flu cases from 60,100 in the 2019 season, to just 107 in 2020; similarly, South America has seen its shares of success, as the Covid-19 pandemic started around the time of their seasonal flu. These are good signs, but not everywhere in the world has been lucky; the United States alone is expected to have around 410,000 to 740,000 cases of influenza; so far it' reached 372,217. If you pair that with COVID, its impact would be devastating on its healthcare system and communities already struggling from the virus. Health experts are pushing to vaccinate the unfortunate, and want those who have the opportunity to vaccinate themselves to do so, but only time will tell they adhere to these warnings.]]> 2020-09-11 00:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hgoff1/q72f5rikq7v6xo99/wish/737336481 Martinique Payne https://padlet.com/hgoff1/q72f5rikq7v6xo99/wish/739707967 Women have been impacted by corona virus even in the medical department.
