n chapter 10, you will learn about emerging viruses. At thisvery moment, the entire world is coming to grips with the newlyemerged coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. In the past several decades, manyother viruses have emerged as well (Ebola, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV,Swine flu, Zika, and HIV for example). For this assignment, I wantyou to do some research of your own in the literature and completethe following:

1. Choose a virus that has emerged in the past century and discusshow that virus impacted the human species (E.g. healthcare,economically, our understanding of viruses in general).(Must have at least 1 reference)
2. Discuss why these viruses are emerging in general(E.g. climate change, humans encroaching on habitats).(Must have at least 1 reference)
3. For this portion of the assignment, you will be coming fullcircle and making reference to Chapter 1 when you learned about howto distinguish pseudoscience from scientific, peer-reviewed facts.You must find an article that discusses a myth or misconceptionabout SARS-CoV-2 and then provide a follow up article that has beenpeer-reviewed that explains WHY the misconception is incorrect(E.g. the virus was made in a lab, etc.). (Must have atleast 2 references)

This assignment is more involved than previous blackboarddiscussion posts so in order to receive full credit you mustwrite at least three paragraphs.  I wantyou to explain and discuss the findings in YOUR OWN WORDS. Do notcopy and paste from the articles you reference. If you need toreference a line from the articles specifically make sure toproperly cite the reference with quotations.
