Pathology of COVID19 and public perception

Background
The Science and Pathology of COVID19.
Basic facts about COVID19:
What type of cells are typically infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus;
What are the hallmarks of the immune response elicited by this infection
Targets of SARS-CoV-2 infection are clearly identified; the nature of the immune response in terms of identity and function of immune cells and key cytokines and chemokines are presented.
Information can be presented as figures or tables.

Topic 1 – Main Focus
Identify an area of COVID19 to describe in more detail:
looking at lung epithelial cells as the first line of defense for the innate immune system, and the recruitment of pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of infection when the virus enters the lungs via an ACE-2 receptor, linking it to natural killer cells.
Information provided in the Background identifies and is directly linked to a description of an important aspect of the immune-mediated pathology of COVID19

Topic 2 – Public Perception
Public perception of COVID19
Based on the information presented in the background and main focus, provide an opinion of how the media or government understands the pandemic.
discuss lung damage as part of public perception. link between that part of the immunology and the misconception of ‘it’s just the flu’ because media portrayal has been sensationalized so people don’t understand the underlying potential long term ramifications the virus can have on human health and lung damage.
Public perception of COVID19 has a clear link to the clinical feature of COVID19 identified in the main focus
Provides a clear opinion on the success or failure of the media or government to report on COVID19.
Compare COVID19 Response of Holy See, New Zealand, Egypt, Australia, Japan, America
Link Japanese vs Western culture to COVID19 success

Presentation
The presentation should be directed towards an informed and educated audience. make good use of figures. there is a clear logic that links each section of the presentation; information on the slides is relevant and well-described.
