Time to face it

World can not be kept under lock for too long. We need to open otherwise it will kill more by poverty than disease itself

It is time to face it. If it remains under lock for too long, it may lead to unrest and chaos. It would be better to open with guidelines and advisory

- Let business, industry and other work open

- Entertainment fields may remain closed for another 3 months

- Allow only essential gatherings with precautions

- Let precautions be mandatory like masks, sanitization, social distancing etc

- Issue health advisory about seriousness of disease. People can move out at own risk. Staying at home is advisable but not mandatory

- Those at risk should be protected more

- Only serious patients should be admitted in hospital

- Promote online studying and working, digital payments as much as possible

- Promote immunity enhancers like yoga, homeopathy, ayurveda etc


Decision is tough but is necessary for the world

The Corona Lesson

There are always lessons in disaster and CoViD19 teaching big ones

We should be prepared. This is not the first epidemic or pandemic. And not the last. So why we are not getting 'ready' for it. Why do we have to wait till it spreads all over then we need huge steps.

We have epidemic research centers. They should be on alert always and warn government to take early enough measures. Better to stop infection reach.

- Stop international flights at earliest possible after epidemic break

- Do strict and thorough checks of passengers

- Develop Q City on some island. It should have all facilities, hotels, hospitals to accommodate incoming passengers for about 15 days to a month.   All flights should first reach Q City, passengers must remain in quarantine and when confirmed negative then allowed to enter main land.

- Information about preventive steps should be spread and taught to everyone

- Information about epidemics and how to prevent spread must be taught to every school child

- Steps of lockdown and easing lockdown must be well defined and applied properly to avoid panic and confusion

- Every citizen especially middle and lower class must have bank account linked insurance. In case person get affected by sickness his or her family living expenses can be taken care

- Labs must be ready to develop and produce testing kits in bulk

- Be ready with stuff like sanitization equipment, PPE etc


The better prepared we are, safer we will be.
