Coronavirus is our future

This Ted talk that was directed by Alanna Shaikh gives a lot of information about COVID-19 and how to prevent it. COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus because it is a new virus. This virus has spikes which are called corona, theses spikes help the process of infiltration. The fast spread of the virus is a big challenge for the health systems. For this reason it is important that countries share information and knowledge as soon as possible, and also get ready for emergencies in advance. Sheikha also made an important analysis about the fact that emergencies compound inequities and discriminations. She stated that quarantine doesn't help much, because symptoms may show after many days firm the infection, and so infected people may go around before being in quarantine and infect other people. Furthermore humans find it hard to stay isolated. Humans are social creatures and need to communicate with others, which is why, Shaikh said, quarantine isn't effective. Another thing logical to keep in mind is to wash your hands a lot. We touch a lot of things throughout the day and catch germs and we might catch the COVID-19 as well, so it is very important to wash your hands. Another thing to keep in mind is to not touch your face at all, even after washing your hands try to touch your face as less as possible, because the virus gets in your body through the respiratory system. Now for the face masks they are useless if you are not a doctor or not infected, that's because the virus can still enter through the holes that are between your face and the mask, so it is better to not buy the masks. Doctors need the masks because the know how to use them and can prevent being infected, and for the infected people masks stop the virus from spreading through the air, so leave the masks for others who actually need them.

Alanna Shaikh used ethos when she first started to show that she actually knows about what she is talking about. She also used pathos and logos along the speech, pathos to get the attention of the audience, and logos to show proof of the argument.
