Pandemic & Biological Warfare

The price of one-sided Rx. Which Diseases Are on the Rise As We Fight COVID-19? The battle against COVID-19 has been a grand and tragic balancing act.

The battle against COVID-19 has been a grand and tragic balancing act. Reopening countries prematurely, the wisdom goes, will lead to an increase in cases and deaths; on the other side of the scale, rising unemployment rates and business closures threaten unfathomable poverty. Most nations have made a choice: they have elected to lay dormant and halt their economies in the name of saving lives. 

That tradeoff, intended to prevent widespread human loss, may be difficult to argue against at face value. But reality is hardly that simple. 

Our vigor to defeat COVID-19 has caused us to become complacent toward countless diseases, some of which were on the path to eradication. And while the world may have taken a break from those pursuits, by no means have these diseases vanished.

As another wave of coronavirus spreads through Florida, flaws in the queue system for coronavirus testing are resulting in errors.

“I got a call asking for me, and they told me that I had tested positive. I was like, ‘Positive for what?” Then, the lady said for COVID, and I said, ‘That’s impossible. I never got tested, Ma’am,’” resident Mindy Clark told local ABC affiliate WWSB. She is not alone. Coronavirus tests can take as long as a week to deliver results, and even one person leaving the queue can ruin an entire day’s records.
