The United States is at the beginning of a nationwide lockdown that is slowly taking effect across the country. Schools are being closed, events are getting canceled, and many people are realizing that their way of life is going to radically change for the next few months, often in very scary and dramatic ways.
Most of the working class does not have the luxury of taking the social distancing measures that will protect them from catching the virus, because so many people are just one missed paycheck away from being homeless or unable to afford food. This issue was raised in an article published by Truth Theory earlier this week, which pointed out that service workers will have no choice but to work while they are feeling ill because they don’t have enough sick time.
Meanwhile, the US government seems more concerned with giving bailouts to corporate CEOs and banks than helping out the people who need it the most.
This week, the Federal Reserve injected $1.5 trillion into wall street to help mitigate the losses from the coronavirus outbreak, a total which is more than double the $700 billion given to banks during the 2008 financial crisis.
Large numbers of people who live paycheck to paycheck will be missing out on work in the coming months, and some of them could even lose their jobs, while the wealthy CEOs and stockholders who are benefiting from the $1.5 trillion bailout have multiple houses and safe bunkers to retreat to in times like this.
This is another bailout for the rich with no cries of "BUT HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT" to be heard. https://t.co/rCoNU3OH8l — Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) March 12, 2020
Defenders of the central banking system insist that any bailouts for average Americans should come from Congress, not the central bank. The federal reserve is supposedly tasked with keeping financial markets steady by controlling interest rates and injecting cash and low-interest loans when needed, but the general population gains very little from this, and in fact, usually end up worse off through inflation.
Regardless of the specifics behind the arrangement, these types of bailouts show that there is plenty of help for the wealthy in our society when things go wrong for them, but very little help for the poor when they are in the same situation. There has been debate in Washington about relief packages and paid sick leave for hourly workers, but these measures will likely be a bare minimum offering that will come a day late and a dollar short, as they typically do.

As GoodNewsNetwork reports, medical teams have been fighting to control the Ebola outbreak since it began in 2018. For two years, it has been the nation’s second-worst outbreak with more than 2,000 deaths.
Prior to her release, officials had been closely monitoring several dozen people who were in contact with Semida weeks before she began treatment. With no new Ebola cases reported within the last two weeks, UN officials now believe the outbreak may finally have ended – just in time for the Coronavirus pandemic.
Said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa:
“I applaud the tireless efforts that have been made to respond to this outbreak and I’m truly encouraged by the news that the last Ebola patient has left the treatment centre healthy.”
Technically, the end of the outbreak can officially be declared once there have been no new reported cases of Ebola 42 days after the last reported case tested negative. With no new cases since being reported, the assessment seems optimistic.

Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast this week to discuss the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic , and set the record straight about the threat that is facing the world .
In recent weeks , citizens of the United States and parts of Europe are still divided about whether or not this virus should be taken seriously , so Rogan invited an expert onto his show to talk about some of the misconceptions surrounding the virus .
Some of the key takeaways from the interview was that this virus is at least 10 to 15 times worse than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are estimating that around a half million people could die in the next 6 months .
A similar estimation was suggested this week by Dr. Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , who told the House Oversight and Reform Committee that the virus is “ at least ” 10 times more deadly than the seasonal flu .
Another disturbing revelation that Osterholm shared with Rogan was that experts believe that this virus will not go away with the changing of the seasons , as many optimists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Osterholm also expressed some frustration with the messaging from health officials that downplayed the possibility of catching the illness from the air .
Osterholm notes that washing your hands is great advice , but can be misleading because while research has shown that the virus can spread through surfaces , it can also be breathed in .
Unfortunately , this mixed messaging from authorities , especially in places like the US where the issue has been politicized , further confuses the population and makes it more likely that people will panic when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is .
Italy has one of the best healthcare systems in the world , but the country ’ s hospitals are currently overrun with coronavirus patients .
Osterholm pointed out that many of these patients who need hospitalization are younger too .
This leaves the hospitals in a difficult position of rationing out medical care to those who need it the most , and it is likely that these same decisions will soon be faced in the US and the UK .
There are other risk factors , aside from age , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they get the COVID-19 coronavirus .
These risk factors include smoking , weight , and any type of underlying health condition which could make your immune system weaker .
Still , even healthy patients have been facing severe illness as a result of the virus .
While it may be true that a large portion of those infected are asymptomatic or only develop mild symptoms , this just means that they become prime carriers for the virus and help it spread more easily .

Osterholm notes that washing your hands is great advice, but can be misleading because while research has shown that the virus can spread through surfaces, it can also be breathed in.
Unfortunately, this mixed messaging from authorities, especially in places like the US where the issue has been politicized, further confuses the population and makes it more likely that people will panic when they realize how serious the situation actually is.
Italy has one of the best healthcare systems in the world, but the country’s hospitals are currently overrun with coronavirus patients. Osterholm pointed out that many of these patients who need hospitalization are younger too. This leaves the hospitals in a difficult position of rationing out medical care to those who need it the most, and it is likely that these same decisions will soon be faced in the US and the UK.
There are other risk factors, aside from age, which make people more vulnerable to hospitalization if they get the COVID-19 coronavirus. These risk factors include smoking, weight, and any type of underlying health condition which could make your immune system weaker. Still, even healthy patients have been facing severe illness as a result of the virus. While it may be true that a large portion of those infected are asymptomatic or only develop mild symptoms, this just means that they become prime carriers for the virus and help it spread more easily.

As the coronavirus spreads into a global pandemic, people around the world are starting to consider different measures to keep themselves and their neighbors safe, such as staying home from work or public places, especially if they are feeling ill. Unfortunately, staying home from work isn’t an option for many of us who live paycheck to paycheck, as paid sick leave is hard to come by, and just a few days out of work could cause a financial disaster.
For people who deal with the public, especially those in food service, being unable to stay home while sick could create a health hazard for anyone that they serve.
Writer Lauren Hough reflected on her previous experience in the service industry and shared her thoughts on Twitter about how the industry’s work culture could encourage the spread of illness.
I don’t think people realize how many service industry workers will continue going to work, cooking and serving your food, cleaning your houses, and selling you respirators, with flu-like symptoms because they don’t have paid sick days. — Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) February 27, 2020
Ask anyone who’s worked in a bar or waited tables what happens when someone gets sick. The answer won’t be, they went home. We called it bar flu because everyone had it and passed it back and forth for a month. — Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) February 27, 2020
It’s bad enough that you’re not paid enough to survive at most of these jobs and can’t afford a day off. I pulled shifts as a barista with walking pneumonia because if I called in sick I’d be fired. That’s normal. That’s the fucking service industry. So, fingers-crossed I guess. — Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) February 27, 2020
You work in an office and someone comes in sick, everyone’s mad at that asshole. I’m guessing. I’ve seen the tweets. I’m not familiar with that culture. I’ve always worked in the culture where working sick was praised and calling out meant you were a weak sack of shit. — Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) February 27, 2020
Call out, even if they don’t shitcan you right there, they will make sure you know exactly how bad you’re fucking everyone over. Come to work and spread strep throat, flu, or, you know, some virus going around, you’re a team player, might even get a ten cent raise next quarter. — Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) February 27, 2020
This is every restaurant, every grocery store, every big box store, every cable company, plumbing company, home healthcare, maid service, hotel, delivery service, coffee shop, oil change shop, just about every hourly job in the country. — Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) February 27, 2020
Most of the people to comment on her post seemed to agree with her, and they shared their own stories of working sick in the industry.
I have watched people PRIDE themselves on working through illness and injury. I had a driver break his foot by stepping on a tennis ball in someone's driveway, and then work another four days on a broken foot on ibuprofen and spite. Flu-like symptoms? Fuck out of here. pic.twitter.com/yo97CEg4wa — Do not Thump the Book of G'Nome (@NomeDaBarbarian) February 27, 2020
Luckily, in some areas, measures are being announced that would help service workers if they get sick or if they are in an area that has been asked to quarantine. In Italy, one of the regions that is currently feeling the worst of the outbreak, the country’s deputy economic minister announced that they will be suspending mortgage payments for those who are unable to pay.
Legislation has been proposed in some parts of the United States, which would guarantee paid sick leave during the coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, companies like Darden Restaurants, which owns the Olive Garden, have voluntarily implemented new measures to offer employees more paid sick time.

The European Space Agency (ESA) released a timelapse video taken from space, which shows how drastically the air pollution has decreased.
Reduction of NO2 over Italy New data from the Copernicus EU #Sentinel5P mission reveal a decline of air pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide emissions, over Italy.

Claus Zehner, who manages the Copernicus Sentinel-5P, the satellite which took the photos over the Po Valley region, told the Independent that researchers are confident these changes are due to the reduction of activity at factories and on highways.
“Although there could be slight variations in the data due to cloud cover and changing weather, we are very confident that the reduction in emissions that we can see coincides with the lockdown in Italy causing less traffic and industrial activities,” Zehner said.
The canals in Venice have also been unusually clear as traffic in the waterways has come to a halt. According to a report from the Italian publication TGCOM24, the typically murky waters in the Venice canals have cleared up as everyone has been locked inside.
Images of the current condition of the canals were posted to the Facebook group “Clean Venice”.
The caption for one of the photos read, “Incredible images of the Rio dei Ferali, behind San Marco square, usually cloudy. Nature reclaims its spaces. Less traffic, less discharges.”

Fury of the Gods
Ancient society was primarily a theological society where everything was explained in terms of God. If there was rain it’d be God’s blessing and if there was flood it’d be his fury. People believed that the supernatural powers of the Universe brought down diseases upon human beings because of their deeds. The lack of logical reasoning made the pandemics worse and millions of people lost their lives.

One of the earliest pandemics was Justinian’s plague. According to Procopius of Caesarea, the Byzantine historian, the great plague started from China or North-East India. It was through land and sea trade routes that the Yersinia pestis bacteria entered the Byzantine via the Mediterranean ports. Procopius had a great understanding of the vital part geography and trade relations played in the spread of the pandemic. However, he blamed Emperor Justinian for it was his actions that brought upon God’s fury. A possible explanation for this blame could be the emperor’s efforts to unite the Eastern and Western remnants of the Roman Empire. This period has been termed as the “Dark Ages” by historians. The evolution of people’s understanding of pandemics shows a leaning towards scientific explanations than superstitions.
Trading Diseases
Since most pandemics could be tracked down to trade relations, the practice of quarantine came to exist in the 14th century. This was done to stop the disease from spreading in the coastal cities and take the shape of a pandemic. In Venice, when the ships came from a diseased port, it had to sit at the anchor for more than a month before landing. During the 19th century, there was a cholera outbreak in London and people thought of quarantine as the only way out. It is crucial for all pandemics across time.
How Infectiousness Works
The R0 or “R naught” is used by scientists to determine the infectiousness of a disease. It indicates the number of people who have been affected and how many people can be susceptible to the disease on average. Measles tops the chart with an R0 range of 12-18. The R0 of the COVID-19 is yet to be determined.

The denser the neighborhood, the greater the chances of people being affected bt pandemics. The climate crisis also facilitates the spreading of diseases as it is already polluted. While the whole world is in self-quarantine, the digital network keeps everyone connected.
Pandemics can be controlled with conscious efforts, it is time to be in quarantine. Stay safe!

This is why in Italy, the worst-hit nation second to China, mortgage payments are being suspended.
Laura Castelli, Italy’s deputy economy minister, suspended payments to help soften the economic blow caused by the coronavirus pandemic. She told Radio Anch’io: “Yes, that will be the case, for individuals and households.”
Early March, Italy’s banking lobby group ABI confirmed that lenders would offer “debt holidays” to small firms and families. As BBC News reports, this isn’t the first time the European nation has suspended debt payments for citizens. During the financial crisis, small businesses and families were given time off.
So far, nearly 30,000 people in Italy have been diagnosed with coronavirus. Over 2,000 people have died, primarily the elderly. To prevent the pandemic from worsening, the country has been in lockdown. Citizens who leave are slapped with a fine of 206 Euros or a 3-month prison sentence. Additional measures include travel restrictions and a ban on public gatherings.
According to experts, the global economy will take years to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. In Italy, specifically, the economy was just beginning to recover following a financial crisis that occurred one decade ago. Last year, the total production of goods and services was approximately the same as it had been 15 years earlier. However, it was still 4% below the level it reached in 2007 – before the financial crisis.
The measure to suspend mortgage payments will undoubtedly benefit many citizens. Hopefully, other nations will follow suit to support the most vulnerable of citizens who are affected by the shutdown.
