Week 3 Blog - PR News on Kobe Bryant's Passing

The tragic sudden death of Kobe Bryant has been all over the internet since he passed last Sunday. It seems so many people have been affected by this because he was such an influential person to so many people. You can't go anywhere on the internet or social media without seeing heartwarming messages to him or more news articles. Recently, the news article that touched me the most was some of the brands that he worked with posted tributes to him. Brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armor, Body Armor and more posted loving messages and pictures on their social media accounts. My favorite message from these brands that was sent out was Nike's, I posted the image above. To me, I find it crazy that something so tragic has brought so many people together and nothing but good memories will follow him.

Cruise Ship Coronavirus Scare

If you haven't already heard there has been a new deadly virus that has come from China, known as the Coronavirus. Symptoms that have been associated with this virus are fever, coughing and shortness of breath. There have been videos online of people just dropping dead from this virus. It is highly contagious and as of now they do not have a cure. It has been said that certain animals carry this virus and it has now spread to people. News broke today that a Mediterranean cruise ship that has 7,000 people on it have been held on the ship because of a passenger with coronavirus symptoms. The woman is 54 years old and was put in isolation on the cruise ship. The worst part of this is that if the woman is found to have the coronavirus then everyone on the ship can be quarantined for two weeks. It is very important that they are taking this seriously as the virus has already killed 170 people.
