This article touches on the crippling diseases that are taking the world by storm. There have been new discoveries made for the Tuberculosis and it turns out that is stems from the common sickness: Diabetes. People who have diabetes are more susceptible to TB and it is harder to cure for them. In some cases, the body would reject the TB medicine and over time, it would produce drug-resistant TB. Patients who reject the medication have to go through an intensive treatment to rid their bodies of the infection and often times, they will relapse in the long length of time, or even die. I thought this was a world-wide important topic because 362 million people in the world live with diabetes and therefore are apt to get TB, which threatens the lives of most civilians. This is a serious situation.

This ongoing fiasco with the missing flight 370 has been concluded, yet still has us asking so many questions. The families of those on board have been told that their loved ones are gone and that there is no chance in finding them. This is a very heartbreaking story and all though we hoped for good news, assurance of a ending to this tragedy provides the public with some closure. For the families of the passengers, this news that the flight crashed in the Southern Indian Ocean is terrifying, because they do not have the evidence to give them proof that their loved ones are for sure, gone. Hopefully the officials will find debris and other objects in the ocean to prove their theory.

India has defeated the odds and has rid themselves of polio for good. People said India would be the last Country to get rid of Polio, yet they were wrong. The world could not be polio free without it's second largest nation being polio free and thankfully India has progressed. Through immunization and hygienic practices, India has sealed their reputation. India struggled getting enough people in the healthcare force to help deliver vaccines to children, and they finally pulled through. This is a tremendous effort on the country's part and it deserves to be celebrated, now we are one step closer to the entire world being rid of polio.
