In so may ways, including, human impacts, job markets, overall economic conditions, and, making a blend of fear, and restrictions, this current pandemic, will have impacts, that will, probably take, quite a while, to overcome. As opposed to facing reality, and acting, accordingly, President Trump, has gave the impression to focus, on his personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self – interest, rather than the public health, and safety, and associated ramifications, by delaying responsible actions, etc! While, there is no simple solution, no less than, only at that, point – in – time, it must be concerning, the United States has fared, less – well, than nearly, all other nations! We have to demand, leadership, sooner, as an alternative to later, which brings us, together, for that greater, and customary good! With that in mind, this information will try and, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 6 basis steps, for gaining control (and reversing the existing spike/ cycle) over the horrific virus, and pandemic.
1. Social distancing: Public health professionals state, the main kind of transmission, with this virus, is, airborne, and, because, the molecules’ dimension is so small, is hard, to manage, effectively! Outside, were told, it could travel, 6 feet, or even more, and, thus, good sense, instructs us, to maintain a minimum of this space. Unfortunately, when President Trump, generally seems to defy and disagree with public health experts, and conducts, rallies, without these restrictions, what does it say, to others? Inside, the transmission, is a lot more challenging, and, this is exactly why, better filters, are crucial, to scale back risks.
2. Personal discipline: This virus is still here, in fact it is necessary, to take care of, good sense! As opposed to rushing – out, and avoiding needed discipline, when, people, crowd bars, as well as other spaces, they perpetuate the continuation of the pandemic!
3. Wear a mask (for your common good), and government should mandate it: Why is there much defiance, when it comes to wearing a mask, when nearly, every study, indicates, if everyone (or, no less than, the great majority), did, it could slow up the spread in the virus, dramatically! Moreover, elected and public officials, should take their responsibility, seriously (before any personal/ political agenda, etc), and mandate, the process, in shared – buildings, and also outside, when social distancing, isn’t possible!
4. Phased – in steps: We’ve witnessed, those states, who have phased – in, reopenings, rather, than rushed it, have noticed 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, and other, nonsense, and, rather, produce transparency, and a focus on data, and science, what is actually needed, to reduce the spread!
6. Inspire/ motivate others: We might get out of this, much sooner, and with much less expensive infection, and loss in lives, if/ when, public leaders, inspired and motivated us, by leading, by example, and showing, what sort of science works, and why it matters! Everyone would prefer, what to get back on normal, but, occurring, unless/ until, we come together, for that greater good!
If we followed these stages, we might 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 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 area of us, proceed, with cooperation, and the bigger – picture, it will delay our rate of recovery!
