The United States Government Cannot Be Trusted To Keep Us Safe During A Pandemic

The Coronavirus, which started an outbreak and then an epidemic has now become a pandemic, and only seems to be getting worse. As more people begin to get infected, placed in quarantine, and thousands have already died, the level of concern and panic is drastically increasing. It is unsure how the outbreak started and how it will be stopped, but what remains clear is the level of trust that the American people has with the government to keep them safe from this deadly virus is diminishing.

Only the people with a science and medical background who always work efficiently and professionally, should address this situation. Donald Trump believes that he knows more about this pandemic. Perhaps, instead of making everything about himself, Trump should act presidential and assure the American people and the world the W.H.O is effortlessly working towards fighting this pandemic. However, Trump's narcissistic demeanor once again prevented him from admitting that he is wrong. Trump does not want to declare an emergency since it will go against his personal beliefs that the coronavirus is no different than the flu, and that it will set off a somehow greater panic than what has already occurred. According to a report by the New York Post, Trump recently announced that traveled from Europe, excluding the U.K will be suspended in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus. Trump only gave this Oval Office address to help his failing legacy since the virus is also impacting the economy.

There might be a connection with Covid-19 pandemic and the relationship that human beings have with the Earth. Before this virus began there have been previous outbreaks that the world was able to get under control after a period of time. They were stopped before things got out of control. However, people have been causing harm to this planet for many decades, and in return, things have not gone so well. From creating genetically modified food to the unsanitary places like China where food is served and stored, we have not been showing much respect towards the Earth. Perhaps Mother Nature is harming us because of the hate and neglectfulness we show on a daily basis. Human beings may think they are in control, but that may not be the case.

According to a report, the increased skepticism that Republicans feel about the coronavirus might be tied to a philosophical viewpoint, since this is a serious concern that many right-wing politicians believe is not that big of a deal.

Besides, not having any trust in our government, I have also noticed the coronavirus pandemic has also exposed virtuous and spiritual points of view. During a crisis, human beings react negativity out of anger, fear, and grief, not just because of the outbreak going on, but the impact that it has on their lives. Because of what people hear on t.v and read on the internet, they are afraid to leave their houses; they cannot travel, and need to avoid getting too close to people while shopping. Along with that, the situation is continuing to grow more dire as more than 1,000 cases have been reported, and 37 deaths were confirmed in the United States.

Since Donald Trump has restricted travel from Europe, hopefully this is will prevent more people from getting infected.

Ever since the World Health Organization announced the coronavirus is a pandemic, the country and the world has become more divided than ever before. We know that Trump cannot be trusted to lead this nation and he never will. Due to the fact that America has the most corrupt President in modern history, it is up to the people to make their voices heard and vote in order to unite this nation, save the world from destruction, and return humanity to the way it was before.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
