The deaths and injuries brought 
on by the attack are one of the 
elements that cannot be disputed. 
jetliners collided with the 
twin towers, causing them 
to fall. Over 3,000 people 
perished. A third plane 
crashes in Pennsylvania, 
and a fourth hits the 
Pentagon. Bush proclaims

attacks, the sad outcomes 
occurred on March 11, 2004, in 
Spain, and on July 7, 2005, in 
England. 
Event 
5 
Covid-19 
2020 
Illness brought on by the 
novel coronavirus known 
as SARS-CoV-2. On 
December 31, 2019, a 
number of "viral 
pneumonia" cases were 
reported in Wuhan, 
People's Republic of 
China, leading WHO to 
learn about this new virus. 
It spreads through minute 
particles from the lips or 
nose of an infected person 
when they cough, sneeze, 
sing, talk, or breathe. The 
virus can easily spread if a 
person touches his or her 
eyes, lips, or nose after 
breathing close to another 
sick person or 
contaminated surface. 
Approximately 80% of those who 
experience symptoms recover 
from the illness without requiring 
inpatient care. The remaining 15% 
suffer from a more serious 
sickness and need oxygen, while 
the remaining 5% are in critical 
condition and need intensive care. 
 
One of the most striking effects is 
the disease's staggering death 
toll, which has surpassed 6 
million, the emergence of new 
variations, and the population's 
and cities' suffering from an 
overwhelmed healthcare system, 
poor sanitation, and poor water 
supplies. Arrival of vaccines, 
which helped to record fewer 
deaths than other nations, was 
another factor that altered the 
landscape. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Publish a commentary founded on the explanation of the topics or a reliable 
bibliographic source of the previous point to at least two classmates. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. In your forum space, post a page long reflection on one of these historical events 
– one that most calls your attention of the table of step 
The Covid incident is the one that interests me the most since it is a true issue we are 
currently facing, which makes it more significant. This circumstance had an impact on 
many people and families because we lost beloved individuals. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is 
the culprit behind this disease. It is a member of the coronavirus family, which also 
includes common viruses that cause more serious (but less common) disorders including 
Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome 
(SARS) (MERS). As it travels down your respiratory system, the virus. Your mouth, nose, 
throat, and lungs are all parts of that airway. More ACE2 receptors are found in your lower 
airways than the rest of your respiratory system. 
In addition to having an impact on our health, this tragedy also had a negative impact on 
the economy because many jobs were lost, and many people were left jobless. According 
to some estimates, the pandemic's economic effects might cause up to 500 million people 
to live in extreme poverty, endangering decades of advancement in emerging nations. It 
makes sense that global efforts have largely concentrated on delivering short-term relief 
in the form of healthcare and financial assistance, but it's equally important to support 
emerging economies in establishing a solid economic foundation that strengthens their 
resilience in both good and bad economic times. Unfortunately, traditional development 
approaches have failed to forge a sustainable path, frequently using band-aid solutions 
to address the most obvious problems like poor education and a lack of infrastructure for 
people to escape poverty.
