The first graph that caught my interest was the third graph, it was what jobs will be displaced because there won't be people to fill them. They affect the US all over. Some of these jobs include office workers, food service, production work, managers, community services, public transporters, and builders!!! A lot of these jobs are routine or physical tasks so people might not want to do them. How am I going to eat Shake Shack and drink Starbucks if there is no one to serve me?? 

I clicked on the fourth graph and it talks about job growth across the nation, as well as loss of jobs due to automation. The place I want to live, my favorite place, San Jacinto County otherwise known as Telluride, Colorado and it was right in the middle. I found that I could get a psychology degree and probably end up working at Starbucks because no one else will and i will not be able to find a job in psychology. 
The interactive united states map shows displacement rates. I noticed that San Jacinto County has a high displacement rate compared to Montrose County. That does not make sense because San Jacinto County has a lot of small towns within it that hold a variety of job opportunities while Montrose County is a bigger town with an airport and the jobs there are mainly service jobs. 
I noticed Alaska will do  poorly in the parts I like.  I want to live there. I would enjoy a cold life in Alaska. I would like to work there. I would like to live in Alaska. I would like to live somewhere else as well for job opportunities. I will live in Alaska part time.

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...

COVID-19 Blog

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...
