Summary - Covid-19 has been an ongoing problem for many months now. It has the world more careful than ever as the virus spreads. When someone receives a symptom, they go get a Covid-19 test to see whether they are positive or negative. These are usually a decent amount of money and take hours or even days for the results. Hospitals do not give any treatment to anyone who does not for sure have the virus, causing many to have to wait for the results and get even worse. This also causes them to spread it to more people since they would not know whether or not they have the virus until they receive their results, most of the time days later. However recently, Nigerian scientists have developed a new way to test people for Covid-19 with many more benefits than the tests we have been using. This test is more affordable, allowing more people to get tested and get better. This test also provides quicker results, allowing people who do have the virus to get treated faster and causing the virus to not spread as quick. Lastly, the test is easy to use and easily transportable, allowing more people to test themselves and allowing more people who live in far and remote areas to get tested and possibly treated as well.
Analysis - I feel that this information shows me how much the involvement of every nation can allow world-wide problems to get solved quicker. Rather than fighting to get to the top or to be the “better country”, I think that working together and everyone getting involved is the only way to solve future issues and Africa has demonstrated this. I believe that this is a huge step in solving our Covid-19 problem and our rates will soon go down since more people will get tested and treated.
Discussion Question - What do you think that the best way to solve Covid-19 is, keep it as it is going or make changes?

ReplyDeleteIn my point of view, it would be best if we would make changes. That is because if every country would use the system and the test Africa found, we could get pacients who have Covid treated faster and end Covid 19. This way it would also be more efficient.
it would be better to make changes, because if we keep it as it is then more people will get Covid and it will keep on growing and growing, there wouldn't be that many people that don't have Covid. The possible changes we can make are better test kits, a cure, etc.
