It recommends that people wear a face covering or mask to cover their nose and mouth when in the community. This is another public health measure people should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Mask s protect you from other people around you getting sick especially old people. The masks prevent your germs getting to other people and since it is deadly to some old people you should most definitely wear one near them. Some states don't usually wear them and the people that don’t need to see how many people die everyday due to this virus that could kill loved ones.

Prepare for possible illness and choose a room in your house that can be used to separate sick household. Being prepared prevents families from going out of their house for everyday needs. During the beginning of quarantine staying indoors was great and only one person could leave the house at a time and the houses that were prepared for ahead of time with toilet paper and napkins and paper towels, had it really well during the quarantine.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the global lockdown is 2.9% more harmful than the global economic crisis of 2009. The global lockdown has cost millions of people their jobs, and because of how nobody was prepared, the people who lost their jobs ended up losing monumental things like their houses, cars, and more. The International Monetary Fund is an organization of 190 different countries working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, etc. according to the IMF themselves.]]> 2021-03-18 13:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1325566797 joforrest https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1325572073 We can make people ready for the next epidemic and create jobs at the same time if we have the same type of system for the military as for fighting off epidemics and other germ related issues. Bill Gates said in 2015 that if we aren’t prepared for the next epidemic, it could end up making global wealth go down by 3 trillion dollars. Now, the IMF projects global wealth to go down 9 trillion dollars by the end of the pandemic. If we had been more prepared, we could have potentially stopped a lot of this from happening, not just including stopping the pandemic earlier, but also just saving people from losing huge quantities of money, and potentially valuable assets that are important to everyday life, getting new jobs, and more. Bill Gates had a Ted Talk back in 2015 about how we need to be more ready for the next epidemic, and one of the things that he said was the global wealth could go down by 3 trillion dollars. Now that the IMF suggests a 9 trillion loss through 2020 and 2021, we clearly should have listened to Bill Gates more and been more prepared for this disaster ahead of time.]]> 2021-03-18 13:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1325572073 joforrest https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1325577978 Being financially prepared for large-scale disasters is something that should be attempted by everyone who can, especially the government. ]]> 2021-03-18 14:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1325577978 algold https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1337827113 There are many pros and cons about if we should be financially prepared for viruses and diseases. We should be financially prepared for the virus because the expensive cost is worth it to get rid of the virus. If we give the money to the government then they can work to get rid of the virus faster

Also we can be prepared by getting supplies earlier then everyone else and staying home. Staying home can lead to cases going down by not seeing anyone. it can get people jobs back faster and help people who are financially struggling.

Most of these people believe that they need to breathe or need to be free but during a global pandemic where germs a sicknesses spread rapidly, it is most certainly better to follow the safety procedures so everyone is safe and people vulnerable to die aren't at stake as much.  ]]> 2021-03-24 00:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1345715845 befalk https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1345732035 If you click on the link down below it will lead you to a photo of in May-April 2020 Covid-19 rapid spread.

As noted in a recent study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a global-health research group at the University of Washington School of Medicine, annual funding for global health in 2019 was an estimated $41 billion (less than 20% of which came from the U.S.). Of that total, the group estimated that less than 1% was for pandemic preparedness—some $374 million. This shows that the government spent millions and millions to get us into good shape and get us prepared for the next virus. ]]> 2021-03-24 01:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1345773328 befalk https://padlet.com/joforrest/germs/wish/1345777839 What are germs?
