  The next frontier in air travel: Digital passports as proof of vaccination or testing

  With vaccines rolling out, there have been talks of digital passports. These passports would allow for international travelers to upload proof of a COVID-19 vaccine or negative test. However, concerns of human rights and privacy violations have been raised. These fears stem from the possibility of the passports causing inequality due to vaccine accessibility.

  How I first Found out about the New Plague

  I first found out about COVID was from my former science teacher. We had been talking about viruses and someone had mentioned the word "coronavirus" well all thought this would just be another virus that would just come and go. We were told that covid initially came from a snake in China and it would never travel to the US and we would be fine. Now my knowledge from what we learned I really don't trust any government with heir telling of the story because each one if different. This experience really has changed me and a person and who I really trust in many things.

Publics who come from abroad need to stay in the assigned hotel for 14 days for quarantine. And I did that, it was so long for me to stay in a single room for almost half a month.

  Vigilance

  During the pandemic I was the one that people hated the most: I traveled between China and the State because of my international student status. I luckily had my chance to go back to China before things went down in the states, meanwhile things were alleviated greatly on the other side. And as I was waiting for the plane in the airport, I saw people wearing not only face masks, but also protective suits and safety googles. Considering that this is before the coming out of face-covering requirement in California, I feel the fear everywhere around me. Yet, I was not surprised to see these protections. When many people said that Covid-19 is a scam and wearing face masks took away human rights, these people showed the world what does real protection mean.

  With spread of COVID-19, many schools are now closed and those who originally lived on campus have no place to live. The students have to their home countries. However, many countries are reducing air travel today to prevent coronavirus and reduce cross-infection on airplanes.It's very difficult for these students to get back, not only do they have to accept expensive plane tickets but they also have to continue learning under the pressure of COVID-19. Therefore COVID-19 cause many damages to students.
