  1. Hello. My name is Haley Griffin.
  2. Welcome to my presentation today.
  3. I'll be discussing with you Covid 19 and cholera.
  4. So let's go ahead and jump in.
  5. Yeah. Covid 19 was first discovered in 2019 in Wuhan,
  6. China. It is a viral infection originating in bats is
  7. infected. Roughly 126 million people is killed around 2.74 million
  8. people. It is more likely to cause death in people
  9. with underlying conditions.
  10. Um, Covid 19 spreads mainly from person to person through
  11. respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
  12. Um, it can also be contracted, uh, touching surfaces that
  13. other infected people have coughed or sneezed on their hands
  14. and then touched.
  15. Um, typically, a person develops symptoms five days after being
  16. infected, but symptoms can appear as early as two days
  17. after infection or as late as 14 days after infection.
  18. Okay, so let's move on to cholera.
  19. Yeah, colour first emerged in 18 17 and just sore.
  20. India Cholera is a bacterial infection originating and contaminated rice.
  21. At 1.3 to 4 million people are infected with color
  22. every year.
  23. Within those numbers, about 264,000 of those people died, and
  24. color can easily cause death in anyone without proper treatment.
  25. Within a matter of hours, the onset of cholera can
  26. be anywhere from two hours to five days after digesting
  27. contaminated food or water.
  28. Let's look at some similarities between two.
  29. So both color and covid 19 caused mass panic around
  30. the world, both of them cause people have to isolate
  31. and quarantine, which in turn both of them caused a
  32. largely negative impact on the economy, with things shutting down
  33. and people not being able to work.
  34. Um, the economy is just really were affected by that.
  35. They now both have vaccinations and treatments.
  36. Mhm. Okay, um, some differences between the two are that
  37. Covid 19 is a viral infection.
  38. While cholera is a bacterial, um, cholera affects the digestive
  39. system and the gut, while Covid, 19, generally has the
  40. worst effect on the respiratory system.
  41. Not saying that doesn't affect other parts of the body.
  42. But that's the worst is the respiratory system.
  43. Cholera is contracted through the digestion of contaminated food or
  44. water, while Covid, 19, can be passed through the air
  45. with people's water droplets when they sneeze or cough infected
  46. people, Um, cholera can cause death and anyone who is
  47. not treated properly while COVID 19 usually causes death in
  48. people that have underlying conditions or weakened immune systems and
  49. their immune systems could be weak from other things.
  50. I didn't underlying conditions such as alcoholism or, you know,
  51. some smokers have weakened immune systems and there's a few
  52. different ways.
  53. Okay? And now I have some sources for you to
  54. view and that will conclude my presentation.
  55. Thank you.
