It is now a giant challenge to restart the economies of the world. Courage alone will not suffice in the battle against the virus, and a deep strategy is required to protect the multitudes of people, and to recover the lost glory.
The novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) has created a gigantic challenge for the world economies and the population. The risk of the shutdown versus the risk of infection, is undoubtedly a bloody battle. Courage is an invaluable asset, but it alone may not suffice, in the battle against the virus. A deep strategy is required to protect the people, and to recover the lost glory.
First Aspect of the Strategy: The very first aspect of the strategy, would be to make a "self diagnosis" kit available at cheap prices, to all people. The price of the test kit should be very low, something like $1 per test. A person, would record the test, using mobile or laptop camera, and upload the recording to a designated diagnosis center. Companies which form the backbone of the economy, could send the test kits to their employees, and their resident family members.
Second Aspect of the Strategy: The second aspect of the strategy, would be to issue Coronavirus badges. Each badge would have three lamps (Green, Yellow and Red), and the issuing authority could flip the lamps. In the mobile era, the "Coronavirus badge" would simply be a (mandatory) mobile App.
Third Aspect of the Strategy: The third aspect of the strategy, would take into account the family members and contacts of a person. When a person tests positive for the virus, the badges of the entire family would turn red. All recent contacts, of these people would turn yellow. The Red and Yellow cases should be followed up by medical teams operating remotely, until they need emergency medical services.
Mankind grew this far, from utter chaos, due to disciplined thinking. Our strength clearly lies in our abilities to formulate strategies, to overcome the difficulties we face.
Let us hope, we could find a clever strategy, to overcome the Novel Coronavirus.
