For your learning journal this week, we will be thinking about the sources we use to get accurate scientific information. One thing that has come out of the COVID-19 pandemic is the realization that there are many sources of misinformation or people claiming things that have no scientific basis. One of the best ways to gather reliable information is to look at scientific journal articles. These articles undergo the process of peer review, meaning anonymous experts in the field review the work to make sure it is valid and credible prior to its publication. After reading Appendix 1 in the textbook, go to PubMed Central Home and search for an article on COVID-19. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7364648/Answer the questions below. 1. What is the title of your article? Does it contain an abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions section? 2. After reading through the article, summarize in at least 5 sentences the importance of peer-reviewed journal articles. 3. What is the purpose of the references section at the end of the article? 4. Do you think this is a reliable source? Why or why not?

Scientific Method Story Directions: Read the following story demonstrating the scientific process then answer the questions. Many people in the small Midwestern town of Hootville are stricken with the disease“BUGGO". Many of those who become ill recover within 7-10 days Through intensive study, “BUGGO” is now believed to be caused by a bacterium (single for bacteria) called "Gotcha." In their fight against “BUGGO”, a new drug X , has been shown to kill the GOTCHA bacteria which was grown in a test tube. Drug X was tested on dogs and found to cure those stricken with “BUGGO”. Researchers decided to test the new drug on some of the people in Hootville. They thought that the drug would also kill “GOTCHA” in humans. They decided that if given drug X that the people would recover faster than those who didn’t receive it. The researchers prepared 2 kinds of tablets that were identical in every way except that one group of tablets contained drug X and the other group did not. The…
"Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, some argued that comparable numbers of people caught bad strains of the influenza virus (causing the viral flu); thus, by extension, the restrictions imposed on society for COVID-19 were unduly burdensome. Based on our discussion in class, which arguments could be made to refute this argument. " "While an average of 31 million people catch the viral flu each year in the US (compared to 16 million COVID-19 cases so far), the mortality rate from the flu seems to be perhaps 8 to 24 times lower than for COVID-19." "Fewer people have caught COVID-19 than catch the viral flu in a given year, but the comparison is not entirely fair since we are not restricting social gatherings or wearing masks during viral flu seasons. A fair comparison would be what would have happened with COVID-19 infections if normal year practices were carried out. " More than twice the number of people in the US have caught COVID-19 than catch the flu virus in a…
The figure below shows the number of bacteria/ml in a series of patient's samples collected and cultured over time, and the resistance of these bacteria to a given antibiotic.

The nose swab PCR test for COVID-19 is an accurate and reliable test for diagnosing COVID-19. A positive test most likely means an individual has COVID-19. Whereas a negative test means an individual probably did not have COVID-19 at the time of the test. Please use what you have learned in this lab to justify this statement.
