The Covid-19 pandemic has reached every corner of the globe and every country is having trouble controlling it. Covid has a variety of devastating impacts however it is starting to cause another disease to skyrocket in Uganda, aids. Aids has been an ongoing problem for the country of Uganda for a long time and the Uganda Aids Commission (UAC) was established in 1992 to stop the spread, and help to get people the treatment they need to live. The commission is committed to ending aids by the year 2030 however the Covid-19 pandemic has put a huge dampener on the AUC\u2019s ability to do their job. They haven’t been able to administer treatment and tests to the people of Uganda. This year especially, the UAC needed more help from political, civil, religious and cultural leaders to reach out to their communities and push them to follow the \u201cNational solidarity and shared responsibility to end aids\u201d which was this year’s national theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aid\u2019s is an extremely dangerous disease and being from America, aids isn’t that common here in our day to day lives and because of our access to medical attention it’s treatable at a very quick rate. In Uganda however, no matter what year it is, aids has always been a deadly issue for the citizens because of the lack of medical attention, lack of contraceptives, and the lack of motivation from the people of Uganda. 2020 in particular has been detrimental to the aids problem because when people have contracted aids they either don\u2019t know and up dying, or the people who have been tested and know that they have it are unable to obtain the proper medical supplies and treatments needed to keep them alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be connected to our class because this is a perfect example of negative globalization. Due to the spread of covid throughout the world and it\u2019s never ending list of impacts it\u2019s having everywhere, other diseases such as aids are starting to get worse. In Uganda people are not only dying due to covid but the number of people dying are going up due to aids and lack of medical attention. Globalization has had many positive effects on the world and many negative ones as well, this is an example of a negative one. In class we talked about how globalization has caused people to travel, migrate, and explore different parts of the world at ease which seems great, and a lot of times it is. However it can also cause a catastrophic global event, like covid, and its effects are causing lives to be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
