Maintaining safety measures after pandemic for human -economical- resources

[Hydrogen]

The goal is an economy and society better structured to self quarantine in an emergency.

• This might be achieved through temporary property tax cuts which cut rent prices
• Temporary relaxation on small business loans
• Encouragement of communal vegetable and fruit tree gardens, to reduce strain on central markets and reduce reliance on global shipping
• Incentivizing work from home initiatives and programs teaching skills necessary to shift to a less travel oriented job market

There are many options which could make an economy more resilient and robust in the face of global pandemics.

I think the best approach is to educate everyone about the possible casualties when it comes to the right protocols in place. It’s better safe than sorry.

Being prepared is good to prevent being infected with other diseases that are existing for so many years. We are focusing on this Covid-19 pandemic because of the number of people around the world who are getting infected by this. But we should also think of those diseases that can be spread from P2P transmission like chicken pox, meningitis, tuberculosis, measles, and etc. In reality, there are also infectious diseases that are spreading in some areas before this pandemic exists.

I don't see your point on your post. We all know that there are different harmful viruses and diseases that are still there. I think what we should ponder about is what is the future we need to take and what are the right measures to do amidst this situation. I hope with the current situation that we have, all those kinds of precautionary measures would help lessen those kinds of transmission of diseases as well. We could just find joy with this new normal, wherever it is.

The pandemic made people aware of health and safety and it made people more conscious about keeping one's health always on the check. People had been focusing more on how to avoid physical contact and other safety precautions such as social distancing and proper hygiene, which I think even without the pandemic should be done by people. COVID-19 is not the only disease that people may encounter but these safety precautions can lessen the risk of getting other deadly diseases. The pandemic showed us that Health is wealth and even a country with good economic standing is bound to fall without a good and established Health care system. This pandemic also showed the flaws that need to be amended or fixed on how the government responds to people's needs and how they handle economic crises. It taught us a lot of lesson.

For our poor developing countries, the Corona virus actually made us more urbanized, and changed a lot of our bad habits as well. Other than crowding and stampede, we had here the habit of kissing and shaking hands and this transmits infection significantly, after the spread of the virus people started to change many of their habits.
We have infected the virus in our habits and in our economy and forced us to do many things.

[traderethereum]

The Coronavirus has change people in all of the world habits, and whether we want or not, that is what we should accept regarding surviving in this pandemic.
I am sure we will survive, and we will evolve our habit in a better way, and we do not forget about keeping healthy is a very important thing that we must do.
Even we have a deathly virus out there that still watching us, as long as we can healthy, we don't have to worry at all.
Maybe we will have a transformation from an old life way into a better life, which always remembers our health.

We are in an area where lockdowns are lifting and slowly implementing to a new normal situations. But there are more and more cases added in our place. Governments are trying their best to boost economic income and to get some economic resources but that is hard to achieve until now. OP, you have a point but those diseases you have mentioned has a cure and treatment while NCOVID virus with low body resistance, the virus will avtively progress within the body.

you and op might be on the same country or area but what about the other people that are living on a different region or country , all i know is that the infection is still on going and spreading and the lockdown to most place are still on high level   . you said more cases added in your place , so why be confident about it  but its nice to hear that govts still continue thier help  .boosting income is only helpful to those who were still working but what about to the others that lost thier jobs   .   they can revise that idea and think of another one where all people can benefit instead

[jrrsparkles]

We actually don't know how much people are starving due to this safety measures, WHO said it is not a communicable disease when researches warned them initially which leads this corona to be a pandemic so following WHO guidelines are no more effective.And everyone wants to get into their real life but it may not be possible for very long time because corona may stay wit us forever like seasonal disease.

[South Park]

My response to this will probably be: not everyone's an introvert...

Some people require physical contact from others, some people require conversations with other people to function normally/feel healthy day to day. I think for a lot of people, the past few months is going to be something they won't want to reflect on for a while.
There have been reports of a rise of non covid-linked deaths and I think the UK put the figure at 20000 from people not wanting to go to hospital to people commiting suicide because they're away from people for so long and don't want to go through the uncertainty. Not to mention a lot of socail media and annacdotal evidence of people who thought they wree being helpful by shouting at people for gathering with friends and socialising because they were being radicalised by their work or by the mainstream media (which sought to over dramaticise everything)...

More recently though, the idea of wearing medical grade face coverings after the pandemic is over could be a choice a lot of people will be able to make. Non medical grade stuff, I imagine, will have little effect on anything.

This is definitely a problem, while the recommendations given in order to combat the virus are correct at the same time it doesn't seem as if they are taking into account the fact that humans are social by nature and the social isolation that we have been going through is a real challenge for a significant number of the population, I really think this is why we are seeing people going to parties and attending social gatherings when they know full well they are at risk of contracting the virus, they simply cannot take it anymore and they decide to take the risk even if they know it is incorrect.

Prevention is better than cure.

Being prepared is good to prevent being infected with other diseases that are existing for so many years. We are focusing on this Covid-19 pandemic because of the number of people around the world who are getting infected by this. But we should also think of those diseases that can be spread from P2P transmission like chicken pox, meningitis, tuberculosis, measles, and etc. In reality, there are also infectious diseases that are spreading in some areas before this pandemic exists.

We only have preventive action initiatives after we witness and prove and feel for themselves the effects of a pandemic or disease. Many films that educate virus problems and even the experience of an avian influenza pandemic in China and the surrounding countries are not enough to make governments in other countries aware and prepare preventive measures for pandemic prevention.

China, Taiwan, Vietnam are better prepared to face the corona pandemic because they have already faced the bird flu and swine flu pandemic before, so they already have standard operating procedures for the pandemic response that are not merely theoretical but based on practice.

In addition, typical people are ignorant, when symptoms are always underestimated, but after exploding they become overestimated. Such a figure of regret later is useless. Here we conclude that sometimes terror in a reasonable dose is needed to create the effect of fear and discipline society in accordance with the level of community discipline.

[MCobian]

For the sake of the economy to recover, quarantine will indeed be opened. And everyone can work as usual, but in order to spread COVID-19
not happening anymore. Discipline is needed to maintain safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Like social distancing, wear face
mask and always washing hand. This simple thing if it is maintained can save many people from the coron virus.

The country had indeed experienced a large virus before and when viruc corona came they could overcome the protocol that was provided so that those infected in their country were not so severe as other countries.

What about other countries that have not felt this big virus because of their effect, of course they are very tough to deal with it, it is even more difficult to develop their economy because the corona virus is still there with sophisticated tools to detect it so that their country can prevent more stringent.

The question is for how long people are going to continue living their life this way. I know for sure that so many people are longing to go back to the same lifestyle they used to live before now. How many people are ready to continue staying indoors?

You might not be seeing anyone in bus stations, restaurants and other places you go because they are not already coming outside. When they have stayed indoors for long and are tired, you will see them all coming out in numbers. Let’s all just hope that this virus will stop spreading, or we will at least get a cure for it and be able to stop it once and for all, or a vaccine? Whatever.

The safety measures to the covid-19 virus has made us more civilized and more aware to it dangers. Even my country where you take a bus and encounter more passenger than the bus can carry some standing and clustering now it's more civilized, you go to a restaurant, mall, bar and things are done with consideration to human health.

<...>

Yes, and I must say this pandemic taught us to really care for our health and those of others.

Before Covid happened, most of us (well, me personally) don't really pay attention to washing our hands regularly, or sanitizing our things from time to time, exercise in a daily basis, eat healthy foods, things like that. We just do such when we feel that it's really necessary. But now, those became a habit just so we can avoid the virus. And when we do that, we're not just avoiding covid but also other diseases.

All of us wants the same thing, that this pandemic finally comes to an end. And when that time comes, I hope that we'll continue to value our health. After all, health is wealth.

I am going to sMerit this post, because you actually answered his question. I can add to this that governments should create legislation to add 1% to VAT for instance to build emergency funding for pandemics like this. There should always be reserves in place to boost the economy, when something like this happens.

Most governments have so much debt and when something like this happens, they basically collapse under the strain of additional needs that arise from pandemics like this. (People not working and being quarantined and also higher health care needs)

People now jocularly say, "The Chinese ate their meal but the rest of the world now washes hands even without partaking in the meal." The lesson most of us should learn from this pandemic is "Personal Hygiene", and it's obvious people are already sticking to it. I will want to see a situation were various governments of the world will make sanitation and personal hygiene a legal matter, and defaulters punished. Thereafter, outlets, malls, business and government premises should be made to keep up with sanitation even after the pandemic has been combated and ended. Yes, quite alright, I known it costs money to put up and maintain that but it has also saved a lot of lives and also remember, cleanliness is next to godliness, as they say.

Yes. This sanitation and personal hygiene should still be observed continuosly even if this pandemic has ended. There are still a lot of contagious diseases that need to combat every now and then aside from corona virus. We should not wait for another pandemic to come along so we should start taking considerations seriously about this personal safety measures so we can be more safe and secured all the time.

[Yatsan]

It is really in need that even right after this pandemic (once the vaccine have already been discovered), it is a must that we still focus into the safety of the human resource because humans as we all must know is the main resource that a country must maintain for we humans are the wealth of our nation since we are the ones making the way to do innovative success that uplifts our economic development towards a better future.

It is a must thing to take good care of the human resource even after this pandemic since we have already learned a lesson how important health care is for the humans since we will never know that another pandemic may arise in no time because like humans, viruses that bring serious diseases do also evolve so what we need to focus is not just the economical growth but as well as the improvement of health care facilities and equipments for the sake of the human lives.

Maintaining safety measures even right after this pandemic would really be a great help just to make assurance that our safety and immunization will not be compromised to keep ourselves healthy away from the threat of other viruses in our surrounding.

[Rengga Jati]

..
To curtail the spread of the virus world health organization -WHO- had given some guiding safety measures
...

These are the exact ways of health protocol. After this pandemic, at least, it can be one of the habits for human being to always key the health, pay more attention to the healthy life, keep clean for every condition.
Actually, the main problem is not here, the main problem is how to make the economy return to normal and smooth. As we know, during the pandemic, many people lost their jobs, many industries went bankrupt, and of course the country's economy dropped dramatically.

You are right that there will be always diseases in this world and we may face it. Maintaining the safety after a pandemic is good. But it may not be fully done. As we know that many jobs are against the health protocol where people should communicate and also involved with many people. We can't process about the people on a bus or others that do not follow the health protocol, they do it because they have no chcoie. What they can do is limiting and staying to get the health protocol as able as possible.

True, these measures implemented has at the very least shown us what a world where everyone maintains a pretty comfortable distance feels like. But do you really expect such things to continue afterward? When the vaccine is finished and the fear of Covid is still there? I don't really think so. Even now, some places still refuse to maintain proper distancing from each other, and most PUV just do that so that they are allowed to accept customers for travels. It's all but temporary mainly because of the population of the people on each country, maintaining this state of comfortable distance in the foreseeable future just seems impossible imo (until the vaccine is made that is).

What do you mean by "not everyone's an introvert"? Do you think that introverts like to be alone and isolated forever?Do you think that keeping social distance for weeks can make someone depressed and even force him to commit suicide?
I don't get what's the main idea behind OP's forum thread.The human resources are important for every economy,but it was stated many times that COVID-19 is not that dangerous for young,strong and healthy people.COVID-19 is very dangerous for the old and sick people,which are not a part of the work force. 

Not that dangerous doesn't really mean that they'd be safe from it. It just means that there's a lower mortality rate for those people at the younger age. And really, it's not enough of a reason to actually not practice preventive measures stated by the DOH. Sure, if the virus only affected one person, then do whatever you want, no one cares, but no. This virus spreads from person to person so even if you are young, you still get infected BUT you chances of you recovering is still high. Still, that just means you can infect others while you're still infected.
