Q6.9. Why is it important to "flatten the curve" by reducing the peak number of infections during an epidemic?

Biology

Trava [24]2 years ago

Answer:

Flattening the curve reduces the likelihood of the health care system's capacity.

Explanation:

Think about it this way. The more people infected, the more likely more people are to go to the hospital sick. The peak of the curve is the point where the most people are infected. If you stretch this curve out, you lower the height of the peak, making it easier to care for everyone who needs treatment at one time.

Arguments FOR GMOs? Arguments AGAINST GMOs?<br>​
stich3 [128]

❤️Hello!❤️ In my opinion, i'm against GMO's. First of all you need to understand what GMO stands for, GMO means (Genetically Modified Organisms) and does that REALLY sound appealing to eat (Be honest). So now we have that covered i'm going to tell you some reasons why YOU should avoid Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's). First of all GMO's are unhealthy, according to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. They cite animal studies showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility. Second of all, GMO's contaminate forever. GMO's cross pollinate and their seeds can travel. It is impossible to fully clean up our contaminated gene pool. Self propagating GMO pollution will outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. The impact is huge, threatening the health of future generations. Third of all, GMO's increase herbicide use, most GMO crops are engineered to be “Herbicide tolerant”―they deadly weed killer. Monsanto, for example, sells Roundup Ready crops, designed to survive applications of their Roundup herbicide.  Between 1996 and 2008, US farmers sprayed an extra 383 million pounds of herbicide on GMO's. Overuse of Roundup results in “superweeds,” resistant to the herbicide. This is causing farmers to use even more toxic herbicides every year. ♒️ Hope this helps!♒️  ↪️ Autumn ↩️
