Lab 1: Responding to health stories.I was looking through the health stories on The Center for Health Journalism and Journalist’s Resource collection on health care. I found most of the stories on The Center for Health Journalism interesting and more recent to read. Most of the stories on both sites were about the Coronavirus Pandemic. The stories I read was on that topic.
What I found that was surprising was that people would let children that are in elementary - high school in person and not have the classes be hybrid or online. But what wasn't surprising about that was that the article was about schools reopening in Florida. I found that aspect of the situation not surprising because of how people in that state were still going to the beaches and doing many other group activities despite the fact that there is a deadly virus going around. Something I knew before reading the article is that children are at a low risk of getting infected by the virus. Another article I read was about how the coronavirus pandemic has devastated the Asian community in San Francisco, California. A moment that stood out in this article is that they talk about how the Chinatown's elderly residents have a hard time getting their everyday needs due to the risk they are in because of the pandemic. But the article focuses on how there are a lack of resources to help the elderly Chinatown people to get there necessary needs while not putting them at risk. I felt I needed to read the article and write about the article and also share it on my social media pages so people can have knowledge about it and hopefully someone with more ability than I do can actually help them. In conclusion, I have learned a lot from both articles. |
