Some people say that governments should focus on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems to help people prevent illness and disease. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Recently, a panel of virologists, along with a few environmentalists are investigating the relationship between the spreading of pandemics and the layout of modern cities. Some concur with the idea that there is a strong correlation between the two factors. As far as I am concerned, it is not the whole picture yet. Admittedly, housing factors are influential in the spreading of the virus, since poor housing condition naturally transfers to over-crowed residential buildings, which often leads to poor hygiene and infection. Covid-19 was a hard lesson. Owing to the fact that throngs of

people

were living in relatively small areas in Wuhan, the virus spread rapidly in and beyond the densely-populated megacity, causing incalculable loss of life and property.

Thus

, it is reasonable to support that

government

should invest money in developing more residential areas.

Nonetheless

, the

government

had better invest money in launching

an

awareness

campaigns to prevent eruption or reoccurrence of diseases. What specifically prevents

people

from getting infected is not any external matter but rather hygienic

awareness

. It often turns out that those who are free of diseases are not the ones who are living in secluded and clean areas, but the ones who do well on self-protection

instead

. Covid victims would not have been infected if they knew what leads to infection, nor would the entire area be afflicted if its

people

have had good hygienic

awareness

however

poor the condition was.

Besides

,

drug

companies

must be financially supported, because they are truly life-savers. Pandemic or even cancer will not matter much if they are curable by medicines, after all, anything that can be treated by pills means no more than an ailment to modern

people

.

Furthermore

,

drug

companies

can hardly yield valuable products without financial aid from the

government

, considering the colossal amount of money takes to design and test the

drug

molecular. For these reasons,

drug

companies

must not be overlooked by the

government

. Simply put, it is true that improving housing conditions prevents the eruption or infection of illnesses, but the

government

’s primary concern should go to enhancing hygienic

awareness

in its

people

as reason mentioned above.

Last

but not least, it is essential for the

government

to provide subsidies for

drug

companies

.
