Japan Manages Coronavirus Cruise

At the sea port of Yokohama, Japan, there is a cruise ship quarantined through and through because of a confirmation of the coronavirus. The Diamond Princess was in possession of a man who was confirmed of the virus, and of the 3700 crew and passengers on board, 61 confirmed cases have emerged. The ship is currently in a cycle of briefly docking to remove few passengers at a time and get more supplies, then returning out to sea to be quarantined. 

I believe the Japanese Government is doing the best that they can with the situation, and I am hopeful that the virus can be detained before it spreads even more. The Japanese are doing a great job of preventing the virus from hitting the mainland, and that in itself is worthy of applaud.

    I heard there was a case or two present in Berks County, which is somewhat alarming. What I was not aware of was that it affects the very young and old before it affects people, let's say, our age. I think we need to practice improved personal hygiene and figure out exactly what the virus originated from before we can truly stop the spread. I'm planning on taking a full box of medical face masks with me to Europe just to be safe.

    This is a scary thought especially if there is a case or two in Berks County. I think that everyone should be more aware of the signs and symptoms but more importantly how to prevent it all together. Symptoms include runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat, fever, and a general feeling of being unwell (CDC). This is alarming because there is a flu outbreak in our area right now, so people need to be able to get diagnosed quickly and make sure they don't mistake it for a common flu.

    What do you think the best ways to prevent the disease from spreading are? If it poses such a threat that entire cruise ships have to be quarantined would it make more sense to prevent the spread from the source or to continue acts like this and solve pocketed problems little by little.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
