Groups will choose two communities (can be local town/city, county, company, state, etc) who are tackling the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Your group will choose one community that they believe is properly handling the crisis and one community that you feel is improperly handling the crisis.
There are a number of issues that arise during a crisis that can dictate if a community is properly prepared to handle, your group should think outside of the box and identify what you believe is most important.
Students will address in their paper:
- Community information (you should describe EACH community chosen)[~1 pg for each community]
- Demographics: Describe your community’s population. Who lives in your community? (Age, Race, ethnicity, population, religion, education etc)
- COVID Statistics: COVID-19 incidence, COVID-19 mortality. Demographics of population infected and population who has died.
- COVID Response (proper response)[~2 pages]
- Discuss TWO of the “10 essential public health functions” that you believe this community is using to properly combat the COVID19 pandemic.
- For each topic discussed, you should have at least 2 references to support your reasoning. These references can be from local news, however, ensure that you are using accurate sources.
