“Prevention is better than cure”. Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventive measures. To what extent do you agree?

It is often believed that following precautionary measures is a better approach to avoid contracting dangerous diseases.

Although

this

is true, prevention cannot replace treatment for several ailments. In my opinion, preventive measures have to be taken,

however

, more efforts have to be put on researching and treating diseases which can save millions of lives. On the one hand, it is impractical to prevent many hereditary diseases by following precautionary measures, and

moreover

,a set of standard precautions cannot be applicable for all types of human bodies.

For example

, Diabetes is a popular genetic disease observed in middle-aged people, and in most of the cases, it is either inherited from father or mother in the family. No preventive measure has proven successful in avoiding

Therefore

On the other hand

For example

, the US President Donald Trump has denied wearing a face mask which protects himself from getting infected by the dangerous CORONA virus.

Instead

dreadful infection, as medicine can halt human deaths. Despite imposing various restrictions across the nation, the US government couldn’t control the rise in daily cases, which clearly demonstrates the public sentiment on the precautionary measures. In conclusion, I agree that preventive measures are significant and affordable, but it seems to me that investing in research for treating diseases is more justifiable.
