Reader Response   “What We Do and Don’t Know about the Links between Air Pollution and Coronavirus”  is an article written by Lewis (2020), an atmospheric scientist, explaining the strong connection between smog and coronavirus and describing other factors which could exacerbate the mortality from the virus. He supports the strong connection by stating the similarities of health condition issues between smog and coronavirus that increase the number of deaths. Lewis also mentions that exchange of opinion by people on “how air pollution affects the rates of mortality from the disease” was a debatable topic considering the strong connection between both. He also states other contributors that “increase the prevalence of underlying health conditions” of individuals. When these factors are combined, those with the virus may have their health deteriorate further. Additionally, it is questionable that improving air quality will proportionally ameliorate the spread of the disease....

He supports his views by stating the similarities of health conditions issues between smog and coronavirus that increase the number of deaths. Alistair also mentions that exchange of views by people on “how air pollution affects the rates of mortality from the disease” was tough to conclude considering the strong connection between both.
