US learn from other countries on COVID-19
While we are studying this HSA 4113 global health course, we all understand this much better through this current “once- in-a-century pandemic”:
Public health is everyone’s business and responsibility. By its nature, public health matters to us all. Public health is not merely domestic health. It is global health.
We had a very good Discussion in previous weeks on COVID-19 crisis. I really enjoyed reading your posts. A lot of valuable ideals came from this class. Just in a few weeks after our last Discussion, the COVID-19 has spread this nation and all around the world again in a dramatic fashion. Right now we are still facing a rapidly evolving situation every day. A crisis on this scale can reorder our society and the world in dramatic ways. How and when will the pandemic end? Many people ask, but nobody knows exactly. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, projected, millions of Americans will contract COVID-19 and between 100,000 and 200,000 people could succumb to it. Dr. Fauci said several days ago: “We are now having 40-plus-thousand new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around, and so I am very concerned.” As of July 5, more than 11.3 million cases have been reported, resulting in more than 531,000 deaths Worldwide. Some countries are still experiencing the steepest growth in cases and deaths.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
