Article: Where did corona virus come from? 5 CO_Q2_English 10_Module 5 A. A Claim from the Facebook: The Japanese professor of physiology or medicine, Professor Dr Tasuku Honjo, caused a sensation today in the media by saying that the corona virus is not natural. if it is natural, it will not have affected the whole world like that. Because, depending on the nature, the temperature is different in different countries. If it was natural, it would only have affected countries with the same temperature as China. Instead, it spreads to a country like Switzerland, the same way it spreads to desert areas. Whereas if it was natural, it would have spread in cold places, but would have died in hot places. I have done 40 years of research on animals and viruses. It is not natural. It is manufactured and the virus is completely artificial. I have been working for 4 years in the Wuhan laboratory in China. I know all the staff of this laboratory well. I called them all after the Corona accident. But, all of their phones have been dead for 3 months. It is now understood that all of these laboratory technicians aredead. Based on all of my knowledge and research to date, I can say this with 100% confidence that Corona is not natural. It did not come from bats. China made it. if what I say today turns out to be false now or even after I die, the government can withdraw my Nobel Prize. But China is lying and this truth will one day be revealed to all.

A Claim from the Journal 6 CO_Q2_English 10_Module 5  Abstract The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in Wuhan, China and spread around the world. Genomic analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2 is phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-like (SARS-like) bat viruses, therefore bats could be the possible primary reservoir. The intermediate source of origin and transfer to humans is not known, however, the rapid human to human transfer has been confirmed widely. There is no clinically approved antiviral drug or vaccine available to be used against COVID-19. However, few broad-spectrum antiviral drugs have been evaluated against COVID-19 in clinical trials, resulted in clinical recovery. In the current review, we summarize and comparatively analyze the emergence and pathogenicity of COVID-19 infection and previous human coronaviruses severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). We also discuss the approaches for developing effective vaccines and therapeutic combinations to cope with this viral outbreak.

COVID-19 During the COVID-19 pandemic , a false claim that Honjo believed that the novel coronavirus had been "manufactured" by a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan was widely disseminated on the internet in many languages. The BBC Reality Check team reported that, "In a statement published on the Website of Kyoto University, he said he was 'greatly saddened' that his name had been used to spread 'false accusations and misinformation'. Scientists say genome sequencing shows that the virus came from animals and was not man-made." Source: https://tinyurl.com/yawd2zh4 Let’s Reflect!

They provide a roadmap or a guide to follow for a day-to-day activity; they ensure compliance with laws and regulations, give guidance for decision-making and streamline or make processes more effective. A claim of policy is a straightforward statement—“____________ should be done”. Review the following policies, where do we usually see them? Why do we need these policies? A.

We frequently depend upon whether or not things ‘work’ in the same way that others claim. Because POLICY claims argue for an action, they imply a VALUE CLAIM—that taking the recommended action is better than not taking it. Read the following claim. In a resolution, local legislators stated that even with the assurance of the Department of Education that education of the students shall continue even without the information and communication technology (ICT) gadgets required for the virtual classes, there is still continuous doubt and apprehension on the part of the students and parents, particularly those from the low-income bracket who fear that their children cannot cope with the requirements of the new scheme. 11 CO_Q2_English 10_Module 5  The claim determined that students from low-income bracket cannot cope with the requirements of the New Normal Blended Learning in the claim of fact, but the claim of value investigates all the reasons good and bad, in order to establish intent and /or justifiable circumstances. At this point, you can OPEN UP your judgment and evaluation. What can you say about the claim that students from low-income bracket cannot cope with the requirements of the New Normal Blended Learning? Examine your topic in terms of the phrases, “it is better to…, it is practical/impractical that…, it is wrong to…,...is more important than…. Then, explain your point. Allow your prejudices to surface in order to examine them.
