immediate reopening... good or bad

States should not reopen immediately. Although not everyone may agree with this statement it is best 
for everyone's health and safety. Jeffery Shaman, a leading epidemiologist at Columbia University 
says, "The math is unfortunately pretty simple. It's not a matter of whether infections will 
increase but by how much." He is saying that the number of people who get the disease will 
definitely increase but what they have to figure out is how much will they increase by. Dr. David 
Relman, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Standford University of Medicine says, 
"I'm very concerned that they are making these decisions in a rushed manner, on the basis of hopes 
and dreams, rather than the cold, hard reality." Dr. Relman thinks states are opening up because that is
 what the people want but it is not what is right. If states reopen too quickly the number of cases of 
the virus will increase and this will jeopardize our health and safety.

States should be allowed to reopen immediately. If states are able to reopen immediately it will help 
people in many different ways. If safety procedures can be followed than places should be able to 
reopen. In the article " After Delay, CDC Releases New Guidance on How States Can Reopen 
Safely" it says, "if a restaurant can answer yes to several questions -such as whether its prepared to 
encourage social distancing among patrons and encourage flexible leave among employees- then it 
could reopen safely." If places agree to follow safety guidelines people believe it is safe to reopen.  In
 the article "Reopening States Before June Would Save Millions of Jobs But Result In Hundreds of 
Thousands More Coronavirus Deaths" it says, "If states keep lockdowns in place through 
June, about 18.6 million more jobs would be lost, PWBM projects. U.S. GDP by that point 
would fall to almost 12% lower than it was a years prior. If states are even able to reopen partially it 
will save millions of jobs.

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.
