III. Essay
As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all parts of the world last 2020, elaborate and evaluate
how Asia became the (1) subject (site or agent) of the global pandemic and (2) object of
(impacted by) the said global pandemic.
Output:
 Wuhan, China, the said epicenter of the SARS-COV 2 or more commonly known as
COVID-19, is located in Asia's Eastern part exposed to a population of more than a billion. In an
article post by the World Health Organization, "COVID-19 symptoms depend on the virus, but
common signs include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing
difficulties. In more severe cases, the infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory
syndrome, kidney failure, and even death". Lots of individuals were at risk of catching the virus,
which resulted in a dramatic increase in the death toll in the late months of 2019 up to the current
date. To the best of our current knowledge, the COVID-19 pandemic started with the
transmission of the virus from an initial animal host, likely a bat, to an intermediate host,
possibly a pangolin, before infecting humans (CGTN, 2020).

As a result of the first humans to carry the virus, Asians, specifically the Chinese, were
discriminated and feared. Surrounding countries' economies also went to a downfall–tourism,
exports and imports, income and food supply. In the COVID-19 crisis, food security, public
health, and labor and employment issues, particularly workers' health and safety, focalize. It has
affected our everyday living to the maximum extent of staying at home for almost a year to
prevent obtaining the said virus. The camaraderie of Asian countries was critical to recovery, and
it did not fail. Supports and prayers from different nations came flooding in to help and prevent
more deaths.
