An Integrated Assessment

Your challenge is to integrate various Earth Observation-derived features with available socio-economic data in order to discover or enhance our understanding of COVID-19 impacts.

Credible idea for COVID-19 medicine

Summary

This Project/Idea of mine is foreseeing the medicinal outlook for the COVID-19 virus . Based on my current knowledge of science and microbial life as a student i made a postulation for COVID . Every biotic component on our blue ball has a certain pH tolerance. As our skin corrodes by concentrated acids .Likewise all microbes also has a pH tolerance at which their outer envelope gets abraded . Hence the medicine targets this frailty .

How I Addressed This Challenge

In the rise of pandemic when the world is struggling to find a vaccine which should be our first concern , maybe if possible we can lead ahead and go for a medicine . In this integrated assessment i have described how we can cope up with pandemic by aiding  those who are in torment due to virus by providing them a medicament .

How I Developed This Project

By seeing the people around the globe claiming of medicine of corona made me chuckle in a positive way and also gave a second thought that how is this even possible without even knowing what they were against "the newly evolved virus" . But it inspired me to come up with my very own version of it based on my information about the virus . I referred to space agency data about its cases the info shared by them . Challenges faced by me clearly shows up why i termed it as a postulate , not having a lab to do research makes this postulate  a success only based on facts but not on practical applications . 

Project Demo

A point to note is that human blood is a basic buffer thus by adding a little amount of an acid or a base wont affect its concentration thus we can inject a miscible solution to patients body having a pH that is tolerable by us but not by virus . That is an intersection of pH level which is intolerable for virus and tolerable by us. Also we may focus on the affected body parts where virus majorly attacks such as lungs . So by indulging a solution in lungs acceptable to it and unacceptable to virus will ultimately lead to envelope corrosion of virus leading to its decease and in this way we can ensure virus free body keeping in mind that the pH indulgence doesn't lead to any side effects.
