assignment for the week April 6

I chose “Political Cartoons on the Coronavirus” because it shares real-life scenarios that are going on in the world today. An image that caught my attention shows that troops and firefighters wouldn’t be sent to do their tasks without the right equipment but yet people in the medical field have to work for PPE. PPE is personal protective equipment and nurses/doctors are risking their lives without the right equipment. I will also like to put out there that some doctors and nurses are getting the virus due to patients or traveling from their workplace from home. This is why I would like to thank them because they are doing all they can to help patients and we gave to thankful. Another picture I like was telling people to stay calm and stay home. There was various reason why that statement is important, first of this would stop the spreading of coronavirus. We are saving people’s life by remaining home. Also, I want to be outside as soon as possible so the more people remain in their homes they quicker we might get over this pandemic. I agree that it is hard to stay home but we should be considerate of others and think about our health. Another picture that got my attention is the one with the boat sinking. It shows that America got a lot of warnings and I assume that the picture means America should have paid more attention. Trump first said that this virus isn’t something serious. I also believed that I felt that people were overreacting to the virus. However, we were wrong and now facing the consequences of not taking early action to be prepared for this. All of the pictures shown are important but we should take in consideration that we will overcome this.
