  • Diseases occur naturally, new diseases occur naturally. We know the first cases were in Wuhan China. There are a number of theories on how “patient 0” became infected. (Bat to human transfer, lab grown, pig to human, other dead animal to human) But patient 0 is not even known, early COVID spread extremely fast and a source cannot be pinpointed. Knowing the exact source could help with prevention of future new diseases (shutting down wet markets or closing labs). But with the speed of the spread, death rate, and chaos it brought, it will likely never be known.

    “Will someone pay.” Without knowing an exact source we don’t know if a human is at fault or if there was just the perfect storm of natural events. mRNA vaccines are a new technology that was fast tracked thanks to COVID. As a society we will benefit from its ability to develop new vaccines faster. Many nations/regions were forced to reevaluate their disaster relief plans because of COVID. If a future event occurs the lessons learned from COVID should help mitigate.








  • The declaration of independence says “all men(and women) are created equal”. We know this is untrue. For example, Donald Trump was born the son of a millionaire, while the majority of Americans are not. Donald Trump’s parents were able to afford to go to send him to private school and get an ivy league education, the majority of Americans cannot. We know that people are born into different advantages and disadvantage. Thanks to the history of slavery, and racism/sexism as a whole, minorities typically start with fewer advantages. Minorites were turned down for promotions, loans, and hiring while the majority reeped the benefits which are passed down to the next generation. “DEI” programs are a way to help level the field, to make everyone more equal. If everyone has the same upbringing and advantages we would not need it. But this is not the case. DEI helped remove systemic disadvantages that minorites face in hiring.
