In so may ways, including, human impacts, job markets, overall economic conditions, and, developing a mix of fear, and restrictions, this current pandemic, will have impacts, that will, probably take, quite a while, to overcome. Instead of facing reality, and acting, accordingly, President Trump, has gave the impression to focus, read more about his personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self – interest, as opposed to the public health, and safety, and associated ramifications, by delaying responsible actions, etc! While, there is no simple solution, at the very least, with this, point – in – time, it needs to be concerning, the usa has fared, less – well, than nearly, all the other nations! We have to demand, leadership, sooner, instead of later, that can bring us, together, to the greater, and common good! Knowing that, this article try to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 6 basis steps, for gaining control (and reversing the present spike/ cycle) in the horrific virus, and pandemic.
1. Social distancing: Public health professionals state, the major type of transmission, on this virus, is, airborne, and, because, the molecules’ sizing is so small, is tough, to manage, effectively! Outside, we’re told, it may travel, 6 feet, or maybe more, and, thus, wise practice, instructs us, to try and maintain a minimum of this space. Unfortunately, when President Trump, generally seems to defy and disagree with public health professionals, and conducts, rallies, without these restrictions, what does it say, to others? Inside, the transmission, is even more challenging, and, that is why, better filters, are very important, to cut back risks.
2. Personal discipline: This particular virus is still here, which is necessary, to keep up, sound judgment! As an alternative to rushing – out, and avoiding needed discipline, when, people, crowd bars, as well as other spaces, they perpetuate the continuation of this pandemic!
3. Wear a mask (for the common good), and government should mandate it: Why is there much defiance, regarding wearing a mask, when nearly, every study, indicates, if everyone (or, at least, a large proportion), did, it could slow up the spread of the virus, dramatically! Furthermore, elected and public officials, must take their responsibility, seriously (in front of any personal/ political agenda, etc), and mandate, this, in shared – buildings, along with outside, when social distancing, isn’t possible!
4. Phased – in steps: We have witnessed, those states, which have phased – in, reopenings, rather, than rushed it, have noticed ideal results! It’s actually a here we are at wise practice, instead of nonsense!
5. Transparent actions: When public leaders, do their briefings, these should avoid politics, along with other, nonsense, and, rather, produce transparency, as well as a concentrate on data, and science, and what’s needed, to lessen the spread!
6. Inspire/ motivate others: We might get free from this, much sooner, sufficient reason for much less infection, and loss of lives, if/ when, public leaders, inspired and motivated us, by leading, by example, and showing, how a science works, and why it matters! Everyone would choose, circumstances to return to normal, but, it won’t happen, unless/ until, we interact, for your greater good!
If we followed these stages, we may be on a path, to recovery, sooner, better, and smarter! Don’t pay attention to those, who say, we are able to reopen schools, now, despite public health conditions, because foreign nations have, while ignoring, the fact, they did so, when their infection rates, were significantly reduced! Enough of the nonsense, and avoiding personal responsibility, because, until/ unless, a better percentage of us, proceed, with cooperation, and the bigger – picture, it’ll delay our rate of recovery!
