Also, dissemination of information about the prevention of zoonotic diseases should be a continuous sponsored program on various communication media; radio, television and the social

Preservation and heritage, while closely related to one another, has a separate and distinct meaning. Heritage, when used in a historical sense, relates to landmarks or places that have meaning to those who inhabit a country. It may also be an area due to its historical and cultural values that one may hold to a time or an event. Preservation, on the other hand, is the process of protecting any physical landmark or object and repairing it to its original state.

The pandemic was a time of many firsts for me. It was my first year in college, my first online Zoom lecture, my first glimpse into the importance of virology, and the first time I had to struggle with opposing views on scientific morality and the role of research in educating the public. It was the first time I sought out research to protect myself and my family from misinformation and fear.
