Women in Politics Magazine: Covid-19 Season 3

COVID 19 SEASON 3

A Word From Our Editing Leader: Cedar Roach COVID-19: IF THE FAST AND FURIOUS FRANCHISE WERE A VIRUS

A classic icebreaker question: “If you could change anything at any point in history, what would you change?” Whether in a new class or on a latenight FaceTime with my friends, I’m always intrigued by the variety of answers. The Holocaust, a family death, the Burning of the Library at Alexandria- no response is the same. Recently though a consistent answer has arisen: COVID-19.

The Spring of 2020 is cemented in my mind (as it is for many others, I’m sure). I can vividly recall even the most minute details from those months. Most of all, I remember the anxiety I felt. While this emotion is in no way unique to my experience, as a disabled individual, my anxiety often came from a different place than that of my peers. It’s hard to listen to public officials and news outlets talk about how dangerous the virus is, but it's even harder to listen when a caveat is added. “While we may not know a lot about the virus, the good news is that it seems to only be affecting those with pre-existing conditions.” Variations of this sentence flooded my news articles, Twitter friends, and conversations and so, in conversations about a devastating virus, my life was reduced to “only.” Let me tell you, it’s strange to realize that you’re an “acceptable loss.” In a cold cost-benefit analysis, the loss of my life (and of other disabled individuals) was a price that many were willing to pay.

As the pandemic worsened, medical care became even more difficult for disabled individuals to find access to. Many overwhelmed hospitals were faced with the impossible task of rationing resources; and, I watched as hospitals in my hometown made the decision that resources would go to those who have the “best quality of life.” This was the cost for my peers to “live out their early twenties.” The cost that people were willing to pay in “the name of freedom”. The cost to “stop living in fear.”

Simply put, it hurt.

But that’s only one side of my experience the last two years.

About the Cover This month’s issue is a comedic take on entering the 3rd year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many on social media have joked about the fact that each year is a new “season” of COVID 19, as if the pandemic were its own tv show. We decided to play off of this concept and created a TV set in an OR room with a film crew directing and filming what’s happening.

Although the pandemic is nothing to joke about, humor has been a big tool we as humans have used to navigate this pandemic. We hope “season 3” treats you well and you enjoy this month’s issue!

Looking Ahead: The Potential Downfall of American Democracy BY: MARY COREY

When considering the birth of American Democracy, people look back at our history in search of a specific moment. Perhaps they think of 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Others may think of 1788 when the Constitution was ratified or 1789 when George Washington became the first President. However, there is one date that is often overlooked. In September of 1796, George Washington published his famous farewell address, marking the first peaceful transition of power in America’s history, putting to the test the democratic idea that, until that point, had just been a lofty ideal.

But now in 2022, a long time since the first peaceful transition, people are beginning to question the future of those democratic ideals as they look at the future of America.

Looking ahead, many experts agree on three important points about the next presidential election. First, Donald Trump is going to run again in 2024. Second, due to increased partisan control of state-level election procedures, he is likely to win this time.

Third, no one has a clue as to what to do about this problem.

A Canadian political science professor warns that the United States could be under a right-wing dictatorship as soon as 2030. Homer-Dixon’s op-ed was centered around the possibility of a Trump return to the White House in 2024, highlighting the very real possibility that Republican-controlled state legislatures may refuse to accept a Democratic win. In his first year in office, Biden has managed to do very little to increase the odds of a free and fair election in 2024. Many people, normal citizens and politicians alike, are exhausted with American politics, tuning out the news and crossing their fingers that things will work themselves out politically in the next few years.

1

Even before the 2020 election, American democracy had begun to move away from what it once was. Unequal treatment of people of color has been an issue since the very beginning of our country and we have struggled to move away from the legacy of slavery and the Jim Crow era. Specifically, discrimination in the criminal justice system, from police violence targeting Black Americans to the disproportionate incarceration of people of color, damages American society and Americans’ faith in their government to protect them. Another thing contributing to public distrust in government is the increasingly large influence of powerful special interest groups in politics and policymaking. Special-interest influence in politics has grown exponentially over the past 20 years.These practices move away from what is best for the American people and instead force our politicians to focus on what is best for big businesses and lobbyist groups. Partisan polarization is also on the rise. Policy’s like partisan gerrymandering only feed the increasing division among the American public.

There are still reasons for hope. During the 2020 election, the controversy surrounding the certification of the election results for Wayne Country, Michigan shows the power of public pressure and support for our democratic system. Wayne County includes Detroit, the state’s largest city and the country’s largest majority-Black city. This county has had a majority of Democratic voters in each general presidential election since 1980 and Biden easily carried the county. However, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers initially found themselves deadlocked along partisan lines about whether to certify the results.

The board’s Republican members cited minuscule discrepancies in the voter rolls, ones that were also found but overlooked in the voter rolls of majority-white counties in the state. Only a few short hours later, activists and political figures took to social media, criticizing the board’s actions and likening their actions to the mistreatment of Black Americans that sparked the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. This pressure quickly forced the board’s Republican members to reverse their stance and the Wayne County Board of Canvassers agreed to certify the county’s election results, eventually helping Biden win the state of Michigan. The brief but intense situation in Wayne County shows the power individuals can have when they come together to fight against what they know is wrong. Although the situation highlights some of the weaknesses in our democratic processes, it also shows us the possible solution to these problems. The integrity of Wayne County’s election was not saved by court rulings or legal technicalities, instead, the intense public pressure it gathered was enough to save their

election. The power to change this dangerous tide is in our hands now. So please, use your voice and vote!

DR. FAUCI: LIFE AND LEGACY BY: VERONICA ROHLFING

Over the past two years, Dr. Anthony Fauci has hastily become a household name. Wherever you look, there’s an alert, headline, or trending topic featuring his name. While some revere and respect the doctor, many others resent and distrust his guidance. This division cuts deep, from the dining room tables of American households to reporters, journalists, and political leaders. Due to Dr. Fauci’s association with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, he has become quite the controversial figure, but his image wasn’t always so contentious.

According to the Academy of Achievement, Fauci grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where his family owned a drugstore. He attended high school in Manhattan at a Jesuit school, and proceeded to attend the College of the Holy Cross, another Jesuit institution, to complete his undergraduate degree. Fauci then attended Cornell University Medical School and received his degree in 1966. Two years later, he finished his residency at what is now known as the Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Since beginning his career in the late 1960s, Dr. Fauci has amassed an impressive collection of accolades. According to the National Academy of Sciences, these include (but are certainly not limited to) a National Medal of Science, the NAS Public Welfare Medal, 45 honorary doctoral degrees, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (awarded

by President Bush in 2008.) He has authored, co-authored, or edited over 1,300 scientific publications, and advised seven U.S. presidents.

3

Despite being centered in the public eye so strongly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Fauci has spent years at the forefront of battles with numerous infectious diseases including Ebola, Zika, the swine flu, and HIV/AIDS. Moreover, this is not even the first time Fauci has been attacked in the media. After being appointed director of the NIAID, Fauci faced criticism for the government’s handling, or lack thereof, of the AIDS epidemic in America. By successfully advocating for enhanced research of the disease and lobbying for increased availability of the drugs that treated it, Dr. Fauci managed to become a “hero to his former critics,” according to the Academy of Achievement.

Today, Dr. Fauci again faces harsh scrutiny over his response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many disagree with his strict guidelines regarding how to combat the disease; to make matters more complex, many see him as a political prop instead of a medical professional. As the pandemic wages on, hostility among party lines has found a punching bag in Fauci. In a Senate meeting on January 11th, he said: “I have threats upon my life, harassment of my family and my children with obscene phone calls because people are lying about me.”

After decades of substantial, ground-breaking work, Dr. Fauci has managed to establish a name for himself among global medical professionals. Yet in 2022, Fauci finds himself at the center of a splintering debate about political polarization and medical ethics. In a country that seems more and more divided by the day, Dr. Fauci’s image is one that

reflects contention and distrust among Americans in a time of great uncertainty.

The Difference Between Delta and Omicron:

Everything You Need to Know BY: ISABELLA RINALDI

These past two years, humanity has faced an ongoing global pandemic that has put us through months of lockdowns, quarantines, virtual learning, remote work, distanced gatherings, and elbow greetings. With the plethora of improvements made over the past two years –new vaccines and booster shots and more reliable research and information – most of us expected this pandemic to be over by now. After the new Delta variant made its dramatic appearance in India back in 2020, Delta surfaced in the United States in December 2021 with a vast surge of cases accounting for more than 99% of all Covid-19 cases. This outbreak led to overwhelming increases in hospitalizations, not to mention national fear of this new variant being a repeat of the 2020 horror we all experienced.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, the Omicron variant emerged as Delta continued to wreak havoc on the nation.

subtle differences that are necessary to know. Generally, Omicron’s symptoms seem to be lighter than that of the Delta variant. For example, according to Dr. Sam Elgawly, director of clinical excellence at Inova System, the omicron variant seems to influence a scratchy throat as opposed to a

Omicron. Doctor Wilson from Yale Medicine explains “the problem is that this allows the virus to hop, skip, and jump from one poorly vaccinated area to another.” These hyperlocal breakouts could result in real hotspots of Covid19 around the country. If too many people were to get infected in a certain area, their health care systems would inevitably become overwhelmed and unable to help everyone.

sore throat and “ the loss of taste and smell appears to be less prevalent.” This means that the duplication of the lungs is far less severe and damaging, unlike with Delta. According to data shared January 2022 by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “compared with patients who had the delta variant, omicron patients had a 53% reduced risk of hospitalization, a 74% reduced risk of ICU admission and a 91% reduced risk of death.” According to most recent research, Delta is believed to be more contagious than earlier variants, however, Omicron’s transmissibility is more than we have seen in almost all earlier variants.

Due to this high transmissibility rate, Omicron is leading to many breakthrough cases in fully vaccinated people and reinfections

There are still many uncertainties surrounding Delta and Omicron, however, what scientists can confirm is that getting vaccinated and wearing your mask are the best options!

Whiplash: How Omicron Changes the Economy's Recovery BY: LYLA ANDERSON

As any American will testify, our new sense of normalcy in the wake of COVID is instability. Left to manage the effects of COVID on our healthcare system, government, and economy, the American people have adapted to the unstable and ever-changing state of our country.

The people of America managed to adjust with each new wave; unfortunately, the same cannot be said about our economy.

In March of 2020, nonessential businesses shut down and millions of people across the US were stuck at home. With 22 million people without work, the economy was reeling to make a recovery. All industries shut down, halting the supply chains. The US government aided over 6 trillion dollars in a COVID relief fund, but it wasn’t until April of 2020 that we saw the beginnings of recovery. The downturn generated by the first wave of COVID began to recede, but the economy in 2020 still shrunk by over 3.4%.

By September, a third of the people laid off because of COVID were reinstated. The International Monetary Fund predicted a 7.0% increase in 2021 for the economy.

Despite our hopes, this would not come to be the case.

In May of 2021, the Delta variant pushed back on the rising economy and postponed any celebration about the recession of the pandemic, and the 7 cases per day average rose to above 50,000. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's GDPNow model stumbled to 7.6 per cent. In another decade, this number from the model would be cause for celebration, but in a country that had hoped to regain all that they had lost, this came with a lot of disappointment. As people recovered and went back to work, economists had hoped that a full recovery would come with it, making up for the lost ground previously taken. Unfortunately, with the Delta variant, it became clear that this was not possible.

While the economy was improving, the rate of recovery left cause for concern.

Eventually, as Delta began to play a less prominent role in the US, another wave of a variant took its place. The Omicron variant first emerged in the US in Fall of 2021. Immediately, economists like the head of the International Monetary Fund, warned us that any predicted growth for the first quarter of 2022 would need to be

What & Why: Russia & Ukraine BY: ELLA STILLION SOUTHARD

175,000 Russian troops will gather at the Russian-Ukrainian border in the following weeks, signifying Putin’s upcoming offensive intentions with their neighbor. According to U.S intelligence reports, Russia has the resources to strike soon. This may seem all a little too quick and confusing; why now? What is going on?

Unsurprisingly, this developing story has a significant amount of history. In 2013, domestic tension in Ukraine rose after the Kremlin-backed Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych, walked away from a monumental trade deal with the European Union because of Russian pressure. The following year, Russia annexed Crimea, a peninsula South of Ukraine, with a military presence to protect the interests of the pro-Russian citizens there. Although the annexation was complete with a referendum, Ukraine refused to recognize its legitimacy.

With this precedent, other pro-Russian regions separated from Ukraine and caused more violence to overtake the country. In 2015, the relationship between the nations was plagued by an empty promise with a peaceful ceasefire deal. However, that deal has been, and continues to be, disregarded by both sides.

9

Evidently, Russian nationalism in Ukraine, and Russia’s sustained cultivation and support of it, is a primary cause of the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian political analyst, Vyacheslav Likhachev, argued in 2016 that pro-Russian sentiments from Ukrainian citizens during the conflicts in 2014 did not exist exclusively – the role of extreme Russian nationalists was paramount to rising tension then, and now. Taras Kuzio, a professor of political science at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, states plainly, “Russians have always ‘felt Ukraine was an intrinsic part of Russia,’ which is deeply rooted in Russian identity (D’Anieri 2019, 2).” However, Moscow has denied all claims that they are planning an invasion or annexation.

The United States has expressed concern over Russia’s mobilization of troops, with President Joe Biden saying, “If he were to move in with all those forces, it would be the largest invasion since World War II. It would change the world.”

Additionally, as of Monday, January 24th, the U.S announced that they have put 8,500 troops on high alert for a potential deployment to Ukraine’s border, in anticipation of Russia’s heightening military presence and NATO’s response force.

Although this sounds serious and offensive, President Biden explained that the U.S troop presence serves the purpose of deterrent and supplying the Ukrainians with resources. The U.S President also noted that all NATO members were on the same page in regard to their unwavering support of Ukraine and deterrence tactics towards Russia, including the possibility of sanctioning Putin himself, which would only strengthen the preexisting sanctions on Russian

10

from the 2014 Crimean annexation.

While Russia assures the world of its pure intentions and Western nations are jumping to support Ukrainian sovereignty, Ukraine’s narrative is slightly different.

On Tuesday January 27th, Ukrainian leaders reassured the nation that Russia’s invasion is not “imminent,” but the threat is “real.” This somewhat contradicting line is Ukraine’s leading attempt to try to calm their citizenry, despite many reasons to be distressed. According to the New York Times, Ukraine’s defense minister pointed out that Russia’s forces buildup has been stagnant since Spring, and the U.S and Great Britain were too quick to remove their diplomats’ families from Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine is projecting an “air of calm,” which stands in stark contrast to the alarmed U.S and NATO response. Ukrainian leaders firmly believe that promoting fear throughout the nation aligns more with Russian interests than their own. This difference in reaction is proving to cause more confusion on how other nations, allies or adversaries, as well as global citizens, should be reacting.

Many questions still remain, not only for the general public, but for world leaders as well. As Andrei Kolesnikov, senior fellow at the Carnegie Moscow Center, put it in a recent Politico piece, “I’m not sure that Putin knows himself what his next step will be. We are used to judging him as a rational man, but he is a man of emotions, and dark emotions.” Seeing as even the Russian experts are teetering on their toes, anxiously waiting to see what the next move is along with the rest of the world, there is not much certainty to be declared. However, what is known is that Russia is sending troops and military resources to the border, the U.S and NATO are responding strongly, and the recent past tells a story of nationalisms, with divergent interests, conflicting with one another.

reminiscent of the ones experienced around the world in 2020.

For some nations, it is too early to see how their strategies will impact the spike. France has taken actions similar to the US as they rule out any lockdowns, curfews, business closures, or other restrictions which were seen in the original quarantines of early 2020.

Countries such as France, Italy, Spain, and so far the United States are banking on vaccine

12

and booster coverage in addition to the already present restrictions to handle this spike of infections.

The perspective of inaction, a “wait-and-see” take, has its benefits and downfalls. Of course the risk is a lack of preventative action as the previous actions of restriction, mask use, and vaccination are not enough to curb the impact of the new variant. If the measures which are already in place do help to keep citizens safe and keep hospitalizations low, it will prevent economic impact on small businesses and restrictions of citizens. Each nation’s government must reconcile with this risk-benefit analysis. Will they value the possible negative health impacts on citizens or the possible economic troubles it could cause and other downfalls of COVID restrictions?

The decision has ultimately proven to regard more than just the impacts on health. The French, for example, have presidential elections in April 2022. While President Macron’s previous actions and vaccination rates have allowed establishments to be open, the idea of returning to shutdown would threaten his success and ratings right before a reelection campaign. Similar political impacts would be present in Spain, as they prepared for a Christmas holiday season. The same political cognition is felt in the United States. Midterm Elections will take place in November and many members of Congress and local politicians worry that further shutdowns will hurt their party’s chances of maintaining power through the next vote.

13

It is important, as well, to assess the impact of Omicron in areas which did not have a particular strategy.

Omicron itself was first reported in South Africa. While the cumulative amount of cases on the continent is over 10 million, this wave of sickness was the shortest of the four which have impacted Africa. The wave was already drastically flattened by the second week of January 2022, only a seemingly six-week flare up of infection. Though this seems like reassuring data, the percentage of infections resulting in death rose in that same week because infections had extended to those at high-risk.

Even with this tail end increase in death rate, the deaths in this fourth wave of COVID impacting Africa are lower than that of the prior three.

None of these actions and impacts in other countries and continents can give the United States a definite safest course of actions.

They can, however, give more insight and knowledge to the effectiveness of how others are reacting to the growing dominant strain of COVID. Whether or not the United States will continue its “wait-and-see” mentality towards Omicron or will suddenly take drastic preventative measures is yet to be seen. Regardless, it may bode well to analyze international actions in order to make the most educated

decision possible to keep Americans safe.
