Will The Covid Vaccine Change Global Politics?

 I really hope that America gets the vaccine first because if any other country gets it first, I believe that they will not give us the vaccine and if they do, they will raise the price so high that not many people will be able to afford it. America is the wealthiest country as of right now so if another country gets the vaccine first and raises the price super high, I don't think that'll be the case anymore. Whatever country gets the vaccine first will also hold leverage over every other country and use that to their advantage good or bad.

The Distribution of The Covid Vaccine

Obviously it takes more than one person to develop a vaccine so how do people work together to develop and distribute a vaccine? To start, the vaccine has to stay the at the same temperature from the time it is made to the time it gets injected. For this to happen, They will need to be packed in with dry ice and planes, trucks and warehouses will need to be outfitted with freezers for transportation of the vaccine, the article talks about arranging rows of upright freezers that are capable of holding 48,000 vials in a warehouse to keep the vials at the correct temperature. Each file also needs to be carefully clean, filled, stoppered, sealed and packaged. When it comes to who needs the vaccine first, they will focus on poorer countries and countries that need it the vaccine most, such as India. Aside from when the vaccine will actually be approved, there is a lot of other aspects that go into it, including timing the orders of medical products like syringes and all the raw materials required to make them, increasing manufacturing shifts and overtime for employees to produce the number of vials and syringes needed for the vaccine and collaborating with American and foreign trade authorities to expedite shipments in shorten lead times. 

Possible Long Term Effects of Covid

 I know there isn't much research about the long term effects of Covid yet but I believe I am experiencing some right now. Back in late August/early September, I had Covid. I didn't know I had it at first but it was a good thing I was at home and quarantined at home so I didn't spread it at school. At first I felt normal and then it got pretty bad. When I lost my sense of smell and taste, I didn't eat much, my body was constantly aching and I had pounding headaches but I never had a super high fever. My chest was also super heavy and i had trouble breathing but after about two and half weeks i felt okay again. But i've started to notice when I go up a flight of stairs I run out of breath super easy and my chest feels heavy again, I think this could be a long term effect of Covid. About three weeks ago, I developed a super nasty cough, a bad earache, a sore throat, and congestion. I thought it was just a normal sinus infection due to the weather change but it became more serious when the coughing didn't stop and my symptoms escalated so I began to feel worse. I'm starting to believe that I have bronchitis because I am still coughing and I think it could be a potential long term effect of Covid because I have never gotten it before. I barely have the energy to get out of bed anymore, I feel like i've been sick the whole second half of this year and I don't remember what it feels like to not be sick. My body is exhausted and I am drained, thank God this year is almost over because I want to feel like my best self again. UPDATE: My bronchitis even worse so i had to go to the hospital and got diagnosed with costochondritis as well which is inflammation of the rib cartilage. The doctor said this is affecting my body harshly because I had Covid and she said it most likely post effect of it.
