Pandemic: Before and After

Pandemic: Before and After

The nation is in the moment of test. This pandemic is looking on how we can work together and everyone has their own set of responsibility. The measures taken here are interdependent, the only effective practice that would determined the real outcome. They key players or the frontlines which deal direct or directly with the pandemic are taking offensive aspect of the approach, while the citizen need to be stayed safe at home. Only such solidarity we can get this dark time pass at great speed. Prolong and dragging of this lockdown implementation would bring another set shortcoming, that is economic predicaments. So nation must bear in mind , the rule is simple as the authority do the test, isolate, trace and cured the positives, other must lend their helping hand to abide to movement control order. How soon the pandemic can be wiped away lies to the hand of all citizens. Transmission of the virus need to halt as the spreading chain   cut off.

We saw how pandemics can crashed the economy, collapse the health care system, hospital cramped with ill patients. Basic PPE like masks, gowns , ventilators, beds , test kits are running low as we reach the peak of the pandemics. Our authority strike oil at contain the virus , hospital executes their pandemic plans, allocate treatment rooms, ordering  extra supplies, recruit new volunteers and assigning specific facilities to deal with the situation.

When situation escalating , health plan approach must be well coordinated. More people will get infected in Mid April as the mass testing taken place. Then the supply will be worrying with dwindling equipment, growing number of patients and endangered of frontlines susceptible to contract with the disease. The plan must catered the projections figures and simultaneously strengthen the public health force based on future requirement. US has estimated the pandemic would have infected 2.2 million of their people, and now deploying the war reserve to act possible way.

Putting in order of the medial and grocery supply chain is imminent. This situation must be equate to war time effort. Manufacturers have to start producing and stockpiles essential apparatus. This means manufacturing product like PPE, medical related equipment while edging technology opportunity and capability to support the work plan. Private Labs have to lend their capacity in produce more test  results while more sophisticated test kits being purchase to accelerate the testing  effort. Priority are the frontline to be tested because  we cant afford to loose the existing.

The end state is  to achieve minimum death with high rate of patients cured. As the condition subside and situation getting under control, nation will get back on their feet to face another challenge of economic shortcomings. When hotels are empty, airline grounded , business hibernate, small business and restaurants  closing had lead to people loosing their job.  People with low income will be hardest hit . They need to kick start the job hunting to continue living and survive. This target of people will need to be fundamentally  support  from the government.

Another incoming threat will be mental ill problems when human contact are cut off. Anxiety aroused and obsessive compulsive persons are in danger when they face loneliness especially the elderly people. The survivor of the pandemics might have to  take time to heal after gone through long quarantine experiences. Burnout may occur to those encounter critical condition  in the ward. Some cases shown in Wuhan, some  people now to refuse to  leave their home and develop agoraphobia.

On brighter side, post trauma lead the citizen had a way of coming together in support each other to better health conscious c. Testing for STD become mainstream, important of washing hand and the education of clinical hygiene become public awareness.

The post pandemic catalysing social change of how people adapt working at home, conference calling  and flexible child care. People will start take seriously the need to stay at home when sick. Government will start to create system more sustainable channel to rapidly allocate subsidy fund to all citizens especially the non-government servant. The effective downstream process fasten the cash flow to stabalise the economy. Equal labour policy and health care system will be on the spotlight and encourage more affordable scheme from  health institution.

Like after 9/11, countermeasure become focus on counter terrorism, pandemic would saw pivotal attention shift to garner public health, funding and new attaraction of student applying public health programs. Besides that more domestic production capability will be initiated especially medical supply and essentials goods. In global scale, inter nation partnership will  flourishes and  more forum of  understanding  the pandemic commitment swill heatedly debate.

We learn much lessons from the pandemics. Our curiosity  will be asked whats's  next. While nation and the world  commence with  daily routine,  we  are readily prepare  for  incoming upsurge of SARS Cov- 3.
