covid vaccination

A corona virus vaccine should be mandatory. Lauren Grossman says, "To achieve herd immunity, 
which makes it more difficult for an infectious disease to spread through a population, 80% or more 
of us need to be immune to Covid-19, either we've been infected with the virus that causes it or 
we've gotten the vaccine." This is saying that in order for groups to be safe together over 80% of 
people have to be immune to this virus and if you have not had the virus already the only other 
way to be immune it to get the vaccine. Grossman also says, "Requiring immunization for a broader
 range of people with direct-contact jobs, like those working in restaurants and food stores, 
flight attendants, hair stylists and barbers, nail salon workers, teachers, and others, would 
decrease the spread of infection and the resulting hospitalizations and deaths." If people who come in 
direct contact with others as their job everyday need to be protected so they do not get the virus 
and also so they do not spread it. If the vaccine for corona virus is mandatory people will be 
protecting themselves and others. 

A corona virus vaccine should not be mandatory. Matt Hancock says in his article, "The health 
secretary said there would be such enormous demand for vaccinations that making them 
mandatory would not be necessary." He believes that so many people would want the vaccine
there would be no point in forcing people to get it. In another article it says, "The 14th amendment 
asserts that no state shall make or enforce any law abridging the privileges or 
immunities of citizens of the United States or deprive any person of life, liberty, or property 
without due process of the law." In this case a vaccine should not be mandatory. If it is against
citizens right then making the vaccine mandatory would not be a good idea.

Temperature and humidity did play a role in the transmission of other diseases like the flu and chickenpox but it will not play a role in Covid-19. Physical distancing may have to be practiced for another year to see positive results and to slow the spread of this disease.

migration

1. Discuss the topics of push and pull factors and explain the cultural, environmental, and economic reasons for migration.  2. Describe the demographic characteristics of international migrants.  1. A push factor induces people to move out of their present location. A pull factor induces people to move into a new location. Cultural reasons could be for reasons like family status or schools. Some environmental reasons for migrating are flooding or desertification. Economic reasons for migration could be moving to a developed country that has things your home country does not.  2. Gender of migrants and age of migrants. Ravenstein theorized that males were more likely to migrate long distances. In developing countries male immigrants outnumber female immigrants. Ravenstein also theorized that most long-distance migrants were young adults seeking work. The migrants who were moving long-distance were normally individuals not families with children.
