Blog #3 American Icons and Resources Response

Two Icons that relate to each other to my Icon are America's Medical Community (CDC) and Viruses. They both are related to each other because they both go through constant battles with each other, the Medical Community working to diminish disease, while the viruses cause major health issues. The Medical Community also has an affinity for success, seeing as that without disease, there is much more possibility for people to live and thrive in society. Viruses mainly strike fear and illness into the hearts of many. It takes many people to put an end to viruses and make the populace a better place to live in.
