This is a post showing how doctors in Cuba are arriving in Italy, one of the hardest hit countries in the world. These doctors have been effective in addressing the effects of the Covid-19 virus so they are applying their knowledge in helping Italy's  Health Department with the outbreak.
2. The National Interest of Cuba is Security & Ideological. Security primarily to protect their own citizens interests because they can stop the spread of the disease in potentially impacting the citizens of their country. It is an Ideological interest because they are providing humantarian aid to Italy whose country is in dire need. ]]> 2020-03-22 17:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/469893583 Mr. Mo justin_moriarty https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/469905352 1. This is a story about Governor J.B. Pritzker calling on retired doctors and nurses to return to work in the midst of the increasing COVID-19 cases. The Governor made it clear that the renewal of licenses would be processed right away in the effort to support the strained healthcare system around the state. 

2. The national interest at stake in this situation is mostly security. COVID-19 is not just threatening the lives of Illinois citizens, but the lives of those around the United States and the world. There are ideological interests that exist as well. The Governor wants to meet the needs of the citizens and is calling on the brain power of professionals that have since retired. ]]> 2020-03-22 18:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/469905352 Nicole B. 8021843 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/471346946 1: The republicans are coming for the democrats for having certain beliefs about the  corona virus.
2: I think this is a example of ideological interest. Both sides are worried about the well-being of our country. The conflict is based on the well being of our citizens and our country.]]> 2020-03-23 17:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/471346946 Jacob R https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472806746 2020-03-24 14:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472806746 Chase B 8026032 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472942632 1. This News article was posted by Washington post. The article is mostly about what the corona virus is and how it spread very quickly. Also it goes over who is most at risk plus statistics on where it is mostly located and people who have died from the virus.
2. This connects to our recent study's on national interests. To be more specific it goes with the security national interest. Country´s all around the world are trying to protect citizens in the country and out of the country from this death causing virus.]]> 2020-03-24 15:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472942632 Garrett S 8021762 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472962340 1. This article by CBS News is about how the Corona Virus pandemic has effected many parts of our lives, including a century old world wide. compaction.  Recently because of the pandemic many people across the globe have been told to say inside and the death tolls are climbing. 
2. This relates to our unit because of countries' national interest during this time of crisis. Many countries are on lock down to make sure that the corona virus does not spread, which is a security interest. ]]> 2020-03-24 15:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472962340 Ava G. 8024407 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472974371 1. This article by The New York Times is about all the current events happening involving the corona virus. It tells us how important events are being delayed, such as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It also tell us how we are getting the aid we need and how other countries are taking precautions. 
2. This connects to our unit because many countries around the world have security interest in this pandemic. Country's all around the world are trying their hardest to keep their citizens safe from this crisis. For example, many are going on a country wide lock-down to slow the spread of the corona virus.]]> 2020-03-24 15:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/472974371 Hannah W 8022724 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473004795
  • Nations across the globe have created necessary travel restrictions to slow down the spread of covid-19. The article provides a list of countries and specific actions taken by each. 
  • This depicts an example of Security Interest. Countries are trying to secure their borders by creating restrictions to protect their citizens. This will prevent further increase in coronavirus cases in their own country. Also, since a lot of countries are doing this it will have a greater impact world wide. 

    • ]]>     2020-03-24 15:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473004795     Ethan I 8021950 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473051048 1.) This article is explaining the rate and severity of the coronavirus in New York. It also talks about the plan they will take to try to help the people of New York. They prove how fast/rapid the virus spreads.
    2.) The national interest of New York is economic. They are running out of supplies, medical personnel, and places to put the sick. Their state is at high risk right. Their economy is hurting with more and more people getting sick. The numbers have skyrocketed over the weekend. This could also be a security interest because of all the states and countries trying to protect their citizens from this pandemic.]]>     2020-03-24 16:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473051048     Gavin J 8032711 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473148984 1) The article shows how  Italian government are handling the Corona virus. Also the procedures that they are making to make sure that it doesn't spread even more out of control.
    2)The Italian government's interest is security and ideology because they want to make sure that the Corona virus doesn't continue to spread more out of control than it already is. Now that hospitals are becoming breeding grounds for corona cases, all non essential businesses are being shut down so that people won't have to put themselves at risk of anything that can put them in the hospital.]]>     2020-03-24 16:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473148984     Paige B https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473506190 #1
    Since the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19, people and stores have been running out of necessities. More and more of our population is getting sicker by the minute, and even hospital supplies are at a low. Donald Trump has finally announced that he is getting more supplies for desperate people in need.
    #2
    This is an example of security, economic and ideological interests.  I know this because these “rules” are being put in by the government (President Trump) to protect U.S citizens from the Corona virus and the spread of it. This is also an economic interest because with more supplies coming in, our standard of living could simply rise again.  The reason it is an ideological interest as well is because the U.S. values its citizens being physically safe and satisfied so they are taking precautions to keep anyone and everyone as safe from any sickness as possible.

This CNN article is talks about how the Covid-19 virus changes ever ones everyday life as we know wit today. Many big event have been cancelled or postponed including the Olympics. It talks about how after this year we will be seen many changes and difference in our economy due to the shut down of many business. 
    2. One national interest that I found in this article was economic Internets. This was shown when a Japanese investment group donates 1.4 million respirator masks to New York. Japan has help many people in New York will  get respiration mask to help contain the virus. ]]>     2020-03-24 22:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/473658454     Nick D 8034066 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/474695259 1. This article is about the 7 country ban on Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
    2.This is security National interest because we are fighting all of these countries over seas and wouldn't want any military age male walking into this county without being seriously being vetted and committing a act of terrorism. This act was purely to protect the American people Which I believe is the definition of a security National Interest.]]>     2020-03-25 14:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/474695259     Braelyn R https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/474850982 1.) The article covers the economic affects of the Covid-19 virus. Since it was declared a pandemic people have been spiraling to buy medical supplies such as surgical masks as well as varied toiletries, China, who is a large supplier for these products has responded by raising the prices. 
    2.) This is identifiable as an example of economical interest. China, knowing that they were the only ones able to provide what everyone needed, brought up the prices to make a large profit. Their actions may have not have benefited other countries, but they had their own economic interests in mind. ]]>     2020-03-25 15:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/474850982     alexander oddo https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/477185291 This picture is showing a baseball player pitching. As of right now there are no sports being played due to the corona virus. All college players in all sports seasons have been cancelled while in professional sports most seasons are postponed or suspended indefinite. Its pretty sad for college players not being able to play. Professional athletes still have their contracts but will not be able to do their job which is also sad. ]]> 2020-03-26 18:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/477185291 Subhan A https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/477311563 1. The article talked about how the Pentagon is banning all travel overseas. They are also trying to have new health protection measures. The order is halted for about 60 days, so no traveling during that time.
    2. This has to do with security interest because we are increasing our restrictions for our own safety. We are protecting our citizens from outside threats in our nation. Just like how in 9/11 we increased the TSA agents in airports to protect us from potential terrorists, we are now increasing restrictions for the own good/]]>     2020-03-26 20:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/477311563     Alana T https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/477464268 1. this article talks about how there are many Corona virus cases and many people are testing positive. As we know, this virus spreads very easily, so getting it to slow down is very hard. Although its a large challenge, China has chose to close itself off so the virus cannot spread to more countries.
    2. This is Security Interest. I know this because China is putting up more security and closing itself off from the rest of the world. Since China has done this, the virus wont spread as easily to other countries. This is helping a lot because China is basically in quarantine from the rest of the world.]]>     2020-03-26 22:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/477464268     Jacob R 8032193 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/478840685 1.  This article goes into depth on all of the sporting events that have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.  The article covers sports from Formula 1 racing, marathons, the Olympics, and basketball.  The article also provides many dates and speculations as to when these sporting events will be up and running once again. 
    2.  The main national interest involved with all of these sporting events being cancelled globally would be a security interest.  The cancelling of major sporting events all around the globe shows an example of security interest as not only the US, but many countries all over the world, are showing that they care for the safety, health, and well being of their citizens.  Countries all over the world are also doing this in order to slow the spread of the virus, and to have the world as whole be healthy and safe once again.

The article is about how there is a massive supply shortage in COVID-19 tests. A lot of people who really should get tested cannot. Due to the pandemic labs can't keep up with the constant submission of tests. 
    2. This shortage of tests is a security interest. If we don't have enough tests people can't get tested, and won't know if they are infected with the virus. Unknowingly they could spread the virus to others. Increasing the amount of infected people and feeding the pandemic. ]]>     2020-03-27 17:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/478906405     Alex H https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/478911090 1.

This article is about how the government responded to the corona virus and they are passing a bill for a 2 trillion dollar relief package to send checks to people who are currently jobless and other benefits it gives to hospitals.
    2. A national interest involved with the article is economic interest because they are giving the people who cant work because of the corona virus money so they can still have a good quality of life and not have enough money to support themselves.]]>     2020-03-27 18:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/478989108     Aidan Z https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/xpnudfn41h4v/wish/479064713 1.
