hey check this out!

I read the article the FBI lost our son. It is about a boy named Billy Riley. In this article it is talking about a boy who was part of the FBI who was not a full time agent, did not get paid as much as the rest, and do not have protection for him. He had gone to Russia, and never came back. The FBI kept telling the boys parents what had happened, they said they did not know anything about his trip to Russia. The parents found the missing boy’s phone and found out that the FBI did know of his trip, and they must know what happened to him. Why would the FBI cover something like this up? He was very smart, he had begun to teach himself Arabic and Russian laguages and had converted to Islam. The missing boy, Billy got his bachelor’s degree in biology from Oakland University. They think he met a russian biologist on his trip, and the parents found his instagram account and messaged him. The russain biologist is important because it shows the FBI knew he was there, seeing as they knew he was one of Billy’s FBI contacts. The man said that he thought he was sent home and told them to look into the CIA. The parents think that the agents who had taken Billy’s phone and laptop were trying to hide clues. The parents hired a Moscow private detective but the government did nothing to help them. The detective quit because he said a government source had threatened to revoke his license. The FBI agents met with the parents to tell them not to say anything in an article. They found Billy, he had been killed in Russia. The parents brought home their son’s remains. It took the parents three years to find Billy, and in the end both parents got a tattoo of Billy's name on their wrists. I think it is terrible and quite scary that the FBI would try and cover this up, and pretend like they did not know. For me, this shows that the government is so untrustworthy.

As the coronavirus rages on, an important question arises: should western countries aid the so-called "third world," particularly Africa, in combating the pandemic? I believe the answer is no, for two main reasons. My first objection is rather obvious: the United States currently has more confirmed COVID cases than all of Africa combined, and it isn't close. There are several possible explanations, including the warmer weather, but the exact reason isn't necessarily relevant. After a domestic coronavirus response which can only be described as a disaster of earth-shattering proportions, who are we to go on an international health crusade? There are millions of vulnerable Americans who are currently unable to receive adequate care. Our resources need to be going to them first, not abroad, and most certainly not to parasitic, too-big-to-fail corporations. My second objection: when was America's last successful large-scale international intervention, viole...

SARS CoV-2, COVID-19, and The World

It's no secret that right now the SARS CoV-2 is wreaking havoc across the world. As of today, the United States has surpassed China as the nation with the most cases of the novel coronavirus, with over 86,000 cases in our country to date. This is all pretty crazy, especially considering that this is all because of a pathogen that supposedly started with either bats or pangolins (the only mammal in the world known to have scales) in a small localized region of China. Of course, it's not only the health effects that are wide-reaching; the social effects are also just as prevalent. One of the ways in which the world is rapidly changing in regards to social effects is through panic buying of goods at places such as supermarkets and hypermarkets such as Walmart. However, the good news is that food in general is not going to run out; there may be shortages of certain particular items, nevertheless, as certain nations have curtailed exports. What is bound to change, possibly permanent...

As the spread of COVID-19 becomes greater many opinions on how to respond to this global pandemic have surfaced. Just a few months ago much of the population in the United States felt unthreatened by the virus as it spread through China, being concentrated in Wuhan, and later spreading in Europe. It was not until the virus quickly erupted in the United States that we each understood the true severity of this pandemic. Now we are seeing how individuals are being greatly impacted by this virus as we are all being asked to stay home and the everyday parts of our lives have been flipped upside down. In the opinion piece about what responsibility developed countries have for helping less developed countries I both agreed and disagreed. My initial response is that if places, like the United States, are struggling with medical resources how can we even begin to be helpful in less developed countries. Hospitals all throughout the United States are beginning to have to make life or death decisi...
