In so may ways, including, human impacts, job markets, overall economic conditions, and, creating a combination of fear, and restrictions, this current pandemic, may have impacts, which will, probably take, quite a while, to conquer. As opposed to facing reality, and acting, accordingly, President Trump, has seemed to focus, 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’s no simple solution, no less than, as of this, point – in Time, it should be concerning, america has fared, much less expensive – well, than nearly, all the nations! We need to demand, leadership, sooner, as opposed to later, that can bring us, together, for your greater, and common good! With that in mind, this document will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 6 basis steps, for gaining control (and reversing the current spike/ cycle) within the horrific virus, and pandemic.
1. Social distancing: Public health experts state, the main form of transmission, of the virus, is, airborne, and, because, the molecules’ dimensions are so small, is hard, to manage, effectively! Outside, we have been told, it could travel, 6 feet, or more, and, thus, wise practice, instructs us, to maintain at the very least this space. Unfortunately, when President Trump, generally seems to defy and disagree with public health professionals, and conducts, rallies, without these restrictions, precisely what does it say, to others? Inside, the transmission, is much more challenging, and, that’s why, better filters, are crucial, to cut back risks.
2. Personal discipline: Herpes virus is still along with us, which is necessary, to maintain, good sense! Rather than rushing – out, and avoiding needed discipline, when, people, crowd bars, and also other spaces, they perpetuate the continuation of this pandemic!
3. Wear a mask (to the common good), and government should mandate it: How come there a lot defiance, in terms of wearing a mask, when nearly, every study, indicates, if everyone (or, at the very least, the majority), did, it will slow up the spread from the virus, dramatically! In addition, elected and public officials, should take their responsibility, seriously (in front of any personal/ political agenda, etc), and mandate, doing so, in shared – buildings, in addition to outside, when social distancing, isn’t possible!
4. Phased – in steps: We’ve witnessed, those states, which have phased – in, reopenings, rather, than rushed it, have observed the greatest results! It’s actually a time for sound judgment, as opposed to nonsense!
5. Transparent actions: When public leaders, do their briefings, these should avoid politics, as well as other, nonsense, and, rather, produce transparency, and a give attention to data, and science, and what’s needed, to scale back multiplication!
6. Inspire/ motivate others: We may get free from this, much sooner, and with much less infection, and loss of lives, if/ when, public leaders, inspired and motivated us, by leading, by example, and showing, how the science works, and why it matters! Everyone would like, items to get back to normal, but, it won’t happen, unless/ until, we communicate, to the greater good!
Whenever we followed these stages, we’d be on a path, to recovery, sooner, better, and smarter! Don’t hear those, who say, we could reopen schools, now, despite public health conditions, because foreign nations have, while ignoring, the fact, they succeeded, when their infection rates, were significantly reduced! An ample amount of the nonsense, and avoiding personal responsibility, because, until/ unless, a larger number of us, proceed, with cooperation, along with the bigger – picture, it is going to delay our rate of recovery!
