Human Biology: Covid-19 Nursing Paper

Update: Add  Bacillus Calmette-Guerin to the list of material to research. 

My Human Biology course has been on hold for the past two weeks.   My student, Anna, is a serious student and wants to pursue a career in medicine.  What is the obvious answer?  A Nursing Paper about Clovid-19.  Below is the guide I sent to Anna.

1.  What is Covid-19?  Which viruses (SARS or MRS) are similar?  What is an RNA virus?  How does it differ from a DNA virus?
2.  Where did Covid-19 originate?  How did it first transfer to humans?
3.  What are the symptoms?  Who is most impacted or at risk?  Why?
4.  Discuss treatment measures and differentiate methods based on age groups.  Include risks.  Discuss the clinical trials.
5. How is Covid-19 tested?  Discuss some issues surrounding testing.
6.  Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are demonstrating promise as treatment.               Discuss how the two drug regimens work.
7.  What is the purpose of social distancing and isolation?
8.  Summarize your findings.  The  Abstract and Conclusion mirror each other.
9.  Cite your sources.
