In so may ways, including, human impacts, job markets, overall economic conditions, and, making a mixture of fear, and restrictions, this current pandemic, may have impacts, that can, probably take, quite a while, to beat. Instead of facing reality, and acting, accordingly, President Trump, has appeared to focus, read more about his personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self – interest, rather than public health, and safety, and associated ramifications, by delaying responsible actions, etc! While, there is no simple solution, at the very least, as of this, point – in – time, it should be concerning, the United States has fared, less – well, than nearly, all the other nations! We must demand, leadership, sooner, as opposed to later, that literally brings us, together, for that greater, and customary good! Keeping that in mind, this article make an effort to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 6 basis steps, for gaining control (and reversing the current spike/ cycle) on the horrific virus, and pandemic.
1. Social distancing: Public health professionals state, the major way of transmission, on this virus, is, airborne, and, because, the molecules’ dimension is so small, is tough, to regulate, effectively! Outside, we are told, it might travel, 6 feet, or even more, and, thus, wise practice, instructs us, to maintain at the very least this space. Unfortunately, when President Trump, appears to defy and disagree with public health experts, and conducts, rallies, without these restrictions, precisely what does it say, to others? Inside, the transmission, is even more challenging, and, that’s why, better filters, are very important, to scale back risks.
2. Personal discipline: This particular virus is still with us, which is necessary, to take care of, sound judgment! Instead of rushing – out, and avoiding needed discipline, when, people, crowd bars, and also other spaces, they perpetuate the continuation on this pandemic!
3. Wear a mask (for your common good), and government should mandate it: Why’s there so much defiance, with regards to wearing a mask, when nearly, every study, indicates, if everyone (or, no less than, the majority), did, it could reduce the spread of the virus, dramatically! In addition, elected and public officials, should take their responsibility, seriously (before any personal/ political agenda, etc), and mandate, the process, in shared – buildings, in addition to outside, when social distancing, isn’t possible!
4. Phased – in steps: We have witnessed, those states, which may have phased – in, reopenings, rather, than rushed it, have noticed the best results! It’s really a time for wise practice, as opposed to nonsense!
5. Transparent actions: When public leaders, do their briefings, these should avoid politics, and other, nonsense, and, rather, produce transparency, plus a target data, and science, and what’s needed, to lessen the spread!
6. Inspire/ motivate others: We may get rid of this, much sooner, sufficient reason for far 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 rather, what to get back on normal, but, occurring, unless/ until, we come together, for the greater good!
As we followed these basic steps, we might perform a path, to recovery, sooner, better, and smarter! Don’t listen to those, who say, we can reopen schools, now, despite public health concerns, because foreign nations have, while ignoring, the very fact, they did so, when their infection rates, were significantly reduced! An ample amount of the nonsense, and avoiding personal responsibility, because, until/ unless, an increased amount of us, proceed, with cooperation, and also the bigger – picture, it is going to delay our rate of recovery!
