1ºI am saddened to hear about the plight of so many Covid orphans. My heart goes out to those affected by this tragedy. to me the best way to help these orphans is by providing them with basic necessities such as food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education and emotional support. Governments can also provide financial assistance and tax breaks for those taking care of Covid orphans. Charities and non-profits can raise funds or organize programs to aid these children and provide some sense of normalcy in their lives. Furthermore, offer counseling services for the children so that they can cope with their difficult situation ,or if government fails we can why not
2ºEric Plant At a Senate hearing on efforts to combat Covid-19 last month, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky asked Dr. Anthony S. Fauci whether the National Institutes of Health had funded “gain-of-function” research on coronaviruses in China.
“Gain-of-function research, as you know, is juicing up naturally occurring animal viruses to infect humans,” the senator said.
Dr. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, flatly rejected the claim: “Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect, that the N.I.H. has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute.”
This exchange, and the bit of scientific jargon at the heart of it, has gained traction in recent weeks, usually by people suggesting that the coronavirus was engineered, rather than having jumped from animals to humans, the explanation favored by most experts on coronaviruses. The uproar has also drawn attention back to a decade-long debate among scientists over whether certain gain-of-function research is too risky to allow.
