The Corona virus is spreading and now we are seeing more and more cases in the U.S. There are now 62 confirmed cases of corona virus in the US, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One Solano County patient, who is being treated at UC Davis Medical Center, could be the first instance of "community spread" of the virus, the CDC said Wednesday."That suggests that the virus is out there in the community, and that means pretty much that everybody's at risk," Dr. Dean Blumberg, an infectious disease specialist at the center, told CNN. "We don't know who might be carrying it. We don't know who we can get it from."

This is scary knowing that the disease has now been introduced to the people of the united states and is spreading, although the scientist and doctors are working hard to prevent the spread and find a vaccine, time is ticking and for now the best way to prevent it is to just make sure you wash your hands, keep away from lots of people, airplanes, stay away from older people and have a supply of food in your house that does not go bad quickly. The whole situation is scary hopefully we find a cure for it soon and it can all be put to rest.

    Vaccines for the corona virus are currently in the works and doctors plan to begin testing this summer. In the meantime, what do you think we should do in order to prevent further spread, since we don't know much about the disease and how it spreads?

    I agree, this is something that is extremely scary and we don't know much about the corona virus which is what I think is the scariest part about it. I also feel that it is very important that we wash our hands often and stay away from large groups of people so that we don't allow the disease to spread even further. Hopefully doctors will soon find a vaccine that will either cure or prevent the corona virus.

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
