TASK B) PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL DISCUSSION INSTRUCTIONS:

In responding to this discussion please do not speak on political standpoints. Religious beliefs, social protests and so forth.  I value your personal perspective; however, I prefer to engage this activity in the Week 9 LIVE Class meeting, rather than in the discussion. I am asking for academically sound responses to the video and reading material.

 From the Global Pandemic video and other course material answer the following two questions, 1) “How is COVID 19 and it variants described by scientists?” (Do not use a dictionary definition, please cite your source). 2) “Why is the effectiveness of “herd immunity” so hotly debated in the scientific (including medical) community? Please provide detailed information from the video, chapter readings and other credible sources. Remember to CITE credible sources.

Note: Please do not multiple pages of information, this can overwhelm the discussion. DO NOT add pictures or websites!!

TASK C) Please respond at least one student’s posting (with a detailed response).  I am sure you know the posting requirements by this point in time. Click links below to watch videos
