The End of an Era

COVID 19 vaccinations are effective and can reduce your risk of contracting and spreading the COVID-19 virus. Even if children and adults contract COVID-19, COVID-19 immunizations can help them avoid major disease and death. But for the past few months the only one allowed to get vaccinated are adults or if you’re 18 or above. But as time progressed the vaccine is now available for both children and teenagers.

While many children with COVID-19 have modest symptoms, a tiny percentage of them require more serious medical attention, which may include admission to the hospital or an intensive care unit. For younger children, the vaccine's advantages outweigh the risks. While no vaccination is guaranteed to be 100 percent effective, the COVID-19 vaccine has been demonstrated to be 90 percent effective in avoiding both mild and severe infection in persons who have received all of the vaccines. For children aged 5 to 11, only the Pfizer vaccination is currently approved. The dose is one-third of the vaccination dose for people aged 12 and over. The dose has been reduced since it was discovered in clinical trials that children who took the lower amount had just as effective a response while experiencing fewer negative effects. Arm pain where the shot is given, fever, chills, and joint and muscle pain are all possible adverse effects. Within 24 to 48 hours, these symptoms normally subside. Some people do not experience any negative side effects.  

The availability of a safe and efficient COVID-19 vaccine is widely considered as a valuable instrument in the fight against the pandemic. The obstacles and resources required to rapidly design, analyze, and produce something at scale, on the other hand, are considerable. We must evaluate as many vaccines as possible because we cannot foresee how many will prove to be effective.

Education in Partnership with COVID

  As we all know the Pandemic made learning for students really difficult especially when you don’t have a stable knowledge of what to do. New comers especially the one’s that graduated for Grades 7 and 11 will have a very hard time, because some subjects or lessons are hard to understand especially if you don’t know what you are doing at all. I personally experienced a hard time studying, especially at first because I didn’t know what to, and to be honest I was lost in the midst of it. But as time progressed, I coped with the situation that are given to us. That in my mind, this is now The New Normal.             The New Normal has a few advantages and some disadvantages. One advantage, is that you can learn safely at home and not go to school, while the disadvantage is, yes, you’re learning at home but are you really gaining some formal knowledge, and do you really understand what you’re doing? Some students take advantage ...

The Christmas Season that Made History

Image
  We recently marked a new grim milestone in the COVID-19 pandemic: at least a  quarter of a million  Americans are dead, and the virus is raging. News of two vaccines offer hope, but even on an accelerated schedule, life as we knew it, according to the experts, is still a year away. These are dark times and we’re headed straight into a  COVID winter . Clearly, the 2021 holiday season will be unlike any other in modern history. The  Centers for Disease Control  is strongly recommending that people not travel for Thanksgiving. Public health experts say that the safest, most prudent approach to the holidays this year is to stay home. To be “all in this thing together” means we must stay apart.  But this much separation from one another is hard. After nearly nine months, pandemic fatigue is real. We wanted to know how people are coping, so we asked our readers and contributors to tell us how they’re planning to navigate the holiday season this ...

Towards a MORE Resilient Philippines.

Image
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon the world with challenges. Almost all countries had to shut down their economies to halt the spread of the virus and the Philippines is one of those countries who have taken strict measures by implementing the Enhanced Community Quarantine on 15 March 2020. The lockdown did help in controlling the spread of the virus and apparently, the Philippines is already flattening the curve. The number of cases reported in the country is no longer growing at an exponential rate, however, flattening the curve does not necessarily mean that the Philippines is winning its battle against the pandemic. There are other measures to consider to ultimately say that a country is winning the battle.  The PwC Data Analytics team has gathered data and insights locally and around the world to come up with this study. It aims to show other areas that must be considered to know if the country is winning the battle against COVID-19, such as controlling the number of ...
