In so may ways, including, human impacts, job markets, overall economic conditions, and, making a combination of fear, and restrictions, this current pandemic, will have impacts, that may, probably take, a while, to conquer. As an alternative to facing reality, and acting, accordingly, President Trump, has gave the impression to focus, 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, with this, point – in Time, it needs to be concerning, the United States has fared, much less expensive – well, than nearly, all the nations! We need to demand, leadership, sooner, rather than later, that can bring us, together, for your greater, and customary good! Understanding that, this information 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 professionals state, the main type of transmission, of the virus, is, airborne, and, because, the molecules’ dimensions are so small, is tough, to regulate, effectively! Outside, we have been told, it might travel, 6 feet, or maybe more, and, thus, good sense, instructs us, to attempt to maintain a minimum of this space. Unfortunately, when President Trump, appears to defy and disagree with public health experts, and conducts, rallies, without these restrictions, what does it say, to others? Inside, the transmission, is more challenging, and, that is why, better filters, are very important, to cut back risks.
2. Personal discipline: This particular virus remains to be with us, and it’s also necessary, to keep up, common sense! As an alternative to rushing – out, and avoiding needed discipline, when, people, crowd bars, as well as other spaces, they perpetuate the continuation on this pandemic!
3. Wear a mask (to the common good), and government should mandate it: Why is there a great deal defiance, with regards to wearing a mask, when nearly, every study, indicates, if everyone (or, at the very least, the great majority), did, it would reduce the spread with 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, along with outside, when social distancing, isn’t possible!
4. Phased – in steps: We now have witnessed, those states, which may have phased – in, reopenings, rather, than rushed it, have observed the greatest results! It’s a here we are at good sense, rather than nonsense!
5. Transparent actions: When public leaders, do their briefings, these should avoid politics, as well as other, nonsense, and, rather, produce transparency, along with a give attention to data, and science, and what’s needed, to lessen the spread!
6. Inspire/ motivate others: We might get rid of this, much sooner, and with much less infection, and decrease of 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 choose, things to go back to normal, but, occurring, unless/ until, we come together, to the greater good!
Whenever we followed these simple measures, we might be on a path, to recovery, sooner, better, and smarter! Don’t listen to those, who say, we are able to reopen schools, now, despite public health concerns, because foreign nations have, while ignoring, the very fact, they managed it, when their infection rates, were significantly reduced! Motor the nonsense, and avoiding personal responsibility, because, until/ unless, an increased area of us, proceed, with cooperation, and the bigger – picture, it’s going to delay our rate of recovery!
