Which is a greater threat to society, earthquakes or COVID-19?

This is an interesting topic; depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but if I have to give a choice, COVID-19 is arguably a greater threat. Now let me explain why.     

First, COVID-19 has a more widespread impact. While earthquakes generally occur in areas with seismic activity, such as Japan and California, COVID-19 can spread anywhere, so is difficult to contain. So, as globalization progresses, the pandemic has significant impacts, disrupting economies, education systems, and daily life across the world.     

Next, the two threats are different in terms of amount of damage. For example, COVID-19 has caused millions of deaths across the world, because the virus was highly contagious, so has severely strained medical and healthcare systems. On the other hand, earthquakes do not spread to other areas in that way.           

Therefore, I conclude that COVID-19 has a greater impact on humanity. On this point, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed “ensuring good health” as one of their key challenges. So, we must come together and take action. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-G]
