Were we ready for corona? No, we and none of his brothers were from different viruses, we were all shocked, but we have to adapt
Corona is that nightmare that the world woke up to its impact at the end of last year and continued to crowd us into our sleep until today, who would have believed that a virus that was not seen with the naked eye could shake the world’s throne, and reveal hidden masks! This virus, since it is new, fierce and deadly, is severe and rapidly contagious, and its symptoms are different and still under study and counting, and there is no treatment or vaccine for it, it is a pandemic that terrified the world. All of them are risk factors that have made the world's interest in him a priority through unprecedented measures
Were we ready for it?
No, we were not. None of his brothers from other viruses, here I do not mean by asking medical practitioners in laboratories steeped in protecting themselves with thick glasses, protective masks and immersed in their studies to the core .. I do not mean them, for these are their lives as studies and science and they do not live like our normal conditions, but I mean ourselves% pw The commoners - those who sleep and wake up and think that tomorrow will be safer than today and always will be, and that no one will be able to change the course of our life and its daily routine, whether it was a mountain or a virus, and that God's experiences and afflictions will affect others who do not mean anything to them and they are so. We will not wake up one morning in pain to see a friend or relative struggling with the symptoms of this disease in front of our eyes, and we have nothing but distance from it.
Where is the wisdom of the affliction?
The wisdom lies in proving the fact that we are weak and that no matter how big our minds or bodies are, this virus can defeat us and put us under its might, and that this requires preparing our thinking always for such situations with the following:
Community awareness
Many societies have become unaware that they can be weak in front of him and be a target for him, but some met him with ridicule, and some made it difficult for him to be quarantined, and there are those whose health problems were the greatest that made him underestimate the virus and its complications, and many exposed themselves and those around them to infection, refusal to be quarantined, and non-compliance with procedures Preventive due to their ignorance of it and the results were disastrous, and the conclusion is that everyone was far from the idea of the protocols and procedures supposed to be followed in such circumstances.
Corona makes the world a small village
Life lessons about crises: What have we learned from the Corona pandemic?
Owning a culture of crisis
I noticed that the media was too much awareness-raising and had to use extensive and varied methods to explain to the public what this disease is and how to guard against it, which exhausted these devices from all sides, and this is what made us discover that the culture of dealing with crises is absent from our thinking, because when we have it, it will protect us from The confusion and chaos that afflicted strong countries such as America, Italy, and Spain, and it will avoid us being classified within the health-weak countries such as Ecuador and others that have been weakened by the virus.
Comparison of Japan and Italy
Japan had a "Hanami" or cherry blossom meditation season, which is an important economic and cultural festival for Japan. Where and when families and friends meet among the cherry trees is a joy and fun they miss this year. Because they wisely canceled it because of the Corona virus, and it is the wiser decision if we put it next to what happened in Italy due to the disastrous match that was held the day after the discovery of the first confirmed case of infection with the virus, that is, it was held on February 19, 2020 in a city and was attended by (40) thousand people in a stadium One.
This match made Italy a big focus of disease, in addition to that, Japan has a strong and developed health system, while Italy is characterized by family cohesion and the practice of intimate family rituals, especially with regard to the elderly, and here these two reasons are supposed to be sufficient to make it one of the countries most distinguished by a more robust health protocol , And commensurate with this category, so the difference was large in the rate of disease prevalence and death rate.
In conclusion, wisdom, awareness, not dealing with emotions, controlling societal behavior and its compliance with precautionary conditions during crises is part of the culture of dealing with crises.
Great attention to prevention through healthy practices With regard to personal protection, then protecting society, by preventing gatherings in all their forms and occasions, it is also considered an indication of our possession of this culture.
Stoking the spirit of patriotism
Also, the attempt to transmit the spirit of patriotism to stand by the side of the country in repelling the epidemic and spreading the spirit of general reassurance, urging to follow medical instructions, raising the level of the disaster to being a threat to the nation's health security and hence nationalism, and emphasizing national cohesion and raising the index of interest in it as the nation's first issue, in what constitutes The rallying and unity of the people around their government; To be an impermeable barrier against violations and against rumors that shake the citizen's confidence in his government, and even make him participate in reporting violations.
Consider the regional situation
Attention to the situation of neighboring countries gives follow-up and early discovery of hidden solutions to all economic damage due to stopping most activities due to the virus; Because it was noticed that all the procedures that were carried out were carried out after the need for them, and they were often not prepared before.
How do we prepare for a crisis?
Attention to the type of this crisis, whether it is a virus, a nuclear reactor explosion, an epidemic, or the spread of a certain type of crime, or even a technical disaster resulting from some defect ... etc from disasters.
Clarity and transparency:
It is very important to deal with clarity and transparency and disclose the nature of the disaster, the extent of its severity, and the worst-case scenarios expected in the event of non-compliance with the required precautionary measures and trying to publish the positives of adhering to them, presenting the services provided and enlightening all the statistics of injuries and recovery.
Reviewing the technical infrastructure:
All state agencies must review the technical infrastructure along with the infrastructure and make it in the highest degree of preparation for all remote work conditions, all forms of field aid, and health education.
Following up on developments:
anticipating the worst disaster scenarios in the world and preparing for them, following up on the situation of the countries surrounding you and coordinating health, logistical and media with them, and sure to follow the new scientifically and monitor the countries severely affected by the disease so that we do not reach its stages, spreading optimism and positivity. Emphasizing the possibility of controlling the situation if everyone cooperates, and noting that the world before Corona is not the world after it.
Good job bro. Keep going
