On Netflix I recently watched the new docuseries called Tiger King. At first when I began watching the show I thought that the main focus was going to be on the issue of owning exotic pets in the United States. Little did I realize how dramatic and intense the show was going to become over the course of seven episodes. The continous drama and fighting over the course of many years between Carol Baskin and Joe Exotic was crazy. The main storyline in the show was about what happened to Carol’s previous husband who mysteriously disappeared. Joe Exotic is always trying to make Carole look like a bad person which was his motive behind making a music video named “Here Kitty Kitty” which made many people believe that Carole’s second husband, Don Lewis, did not just disappear but in fact she fed him to the tigers in the middle of the night to cover up the evidence. Personally, I believe that Carole Baskin fed Don Lewis to her tigers in the middle of the night because the evidence shown in the docuseries isn’t sufficient enough to explain his disappearance. Many people go to Carole Baskin’s place, Big Cat Rescue, because on the internet she is portrayed as the hero in this situation but I believe that this is quite the opposite. I feel that Carole Baskin is abusing the tigers that live in her zoo and that she is not providing them with an adequate amount of space to live and roam around in. In the docuseries there is a plot to kill Carole Baskin through a murder for hire. Joe Exotic is now living in jail after he hired someone to attempt to kill his nemesis, Carole Baskin. In the docuseries the plot to kill Carole Baskin is very complicated and there are many different pepople htat are involved woh are trying to stop the murder and get Joe arrested and htere are also many people who are working iwth Joe to attempt to finally kill Carole. Joe Exotic says in a video aimed at Carole and her friends saying that before they will be able to bring him down i.e. shut down his zoo that Carole will stop breathing. I think that Netflix did an incredible job showing the feud between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin and also showing the two sides of the story with all the people involved in both parties in this exciting and interesting docuseries.

The Coronavirus has begun to have many different effects on people all across the world. First, the spread of the virus in China, the origin of the disease, has slowed while the number of people who are infected with the disease in the United States is rapidly increasing. Secondly, the COVID-19 disease has officially killed two people in Washington, United States. Additionally, within 48 hours the number of cases nationwide jumped 35%. As of right now, health officials haven’t been successful in containing this extremely contagious sickness. People are concerned that because it is suspected that the Coronavirus has between a 14-28 day incubation period, that in the upcoming days and weeks we could see the number of people infected with COVID-19 skyrocket. Since the disease is spreading across the entire country, I think that it is something that people need to be prepared to deal with. If the government mandates that schools and businesses close for a certain period of time and people need to be quarantined in their homes it is crucial that we are prepared. In the New York Times post they say that although we don’t need to panic about the Coronavirus, we should definitely be aware of it and stock up on essential items for our homes. I think that stocking up on foods such as pasta, chicken broth, peanut butter, and canned foods are important items to stock up. I think that it is also important to stock up on over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen and prescription medications that you use on a daily basis is very important in case of a potential quarantine. Another thing that is extremely important to do as the spread of the Coronavirus is increasing is to make sure that you are washing your hands well and trying to stay healthy. As the illness spreads it has been shown that it is more deadly to people who are older and have underlying/previous health conditions. Lastly, I also think that wearing a face mask unless you are already infected with the Coronavirus doesn’t help you protect yourself at all. Although I do not think that the novel Coronavirus is something that we need to panic about as of right now, I think that taking necessary precautions such as washing your hands well, stocking up on foods and medications, and cleaning the surfaces around you could prove to be crucial in the upcoming few days and weeks once the number of people infected with the disease peaks.

During these difficult times many people have become local heroes in their communities. Greg Dailey and his family from Mercer County, New Jersey have taken it into their own hands to help the vulnerable people that live in their community. Many elderly people are afraid to even walk outside because of the fear that they could contract COVID-19. Greg and his family realized that these people wouldn’t be able to safely go into grocery stores to buy food for themselves and they decided that they were going to take matters into their own hands and deliver groceries to anyone who needs it. This selfless act of kindness shows that throughout some of the most difficult times in most of our lives people can truly rise to the occasion and help others in need. I think that it is local heroes, like Greg and his family, who will help us get through this. I think that although these times are so tragic and difficult we really need to look to those people who are making the best of the situation and trying to help out others in need. Similar to Greg, Zellie Thomas has also taken it into his own hands to try to help the eldery in his community who are at high risk of contracting COVID-19. His organization has delivered over 800 meals along with groceries and supplies to elderly people in need. These huge acts of kindness show that we are all in this together and that if we fight this virus together, helping those in need, we will get through it. These local heroes are creating a stronger sense of community throughout their communities and are demonstrating to the rest of the world that there are some good things that can come out of this horrible situation. These people can serve as role models for everyone. They were not asked to help out the elderly by distributing meals, groceries, and supplies to them by anyone. They just decided to do it on their own. Their mission is to help protect the most vulnerable people of our population. One thing is for sure is that if we did not have people like the Dailey family and Zellie Thomas and his volunteers many people would be much worse off than they are now. I think that we all need to say thank you to Zellie, the Dailey family, and the countless other people all across America for the things they are doing during these trying times.

Although this is not the first time that the NBA has shortened its season, it is one of only a few times that this has ever happened. On Wednesday, March 11, 2020 the NBA announced that they would be suspending all games indefinitely that would go into effect the next day. This announcement came shortly after the Golden State Warriors announced that they wouldn’t be allowing any fans to attend their home games due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This is the first time in my life that I remember any sports league suspending part of their season. Along with the NBA, the NHL, MLB, and the MLS, amongst many other sports leagues have also postponed or suspended their seasons. I believe that the cancellation of all major sporting events was a necessary action in order to prevent the spread of the sickness. Although this sickness is not necessarily a major threat to most people in the general population, it is extremely dangerous for those people who have compromised immune systems or preexisting conditions such as people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and asthma.  I also think that in order to protect the safety of all of the players, officials, coaches, and team personnel that the season needed to be put on pause. The Coronavirus is extremely contagious and can live on hard surfaces for up to three days. Therefore, if they have players, coaches, etc. using an away locker room in a stadium one day and someone on their team has COVID-19 any of the players or coaches on the team that uses the locker room the next day are at a huge risk of contracting the sickness. Additionally, in order to help the hospitals manage the amount of people who are coming in with severe symptoms of the Coronavirus we need to help slow the spread of the disease. By limiting the amount of people who are allowed to be in one place at a time we are helping slow the spread of Coronavirus. At this point most people have realized that a lot of people are going to get COVID-19 and that hospitals are not going to be able to handle the amount of people that are coming in with severe respiratory symptoms and need treatment. The NBA suspending its season is extremely disappointing to the millions of people who watch the games each and every day, but this suspension was necessary in order to protect the players, coaches, and fans who are at high risk if they develop COVID-19.
