The health sector in the country is currently under severe pressure due to the Corona virus, and it is clear that we have entered a new stage of the spread of this epidemic, which is normal and expected, as the current and upcoming cases are the contacts of unknown patients, who were infected with the virus without realizing it, and without showing them Symptoms of the disease, these people in turn transmitted the infection to others, and so on, and now the time has come for them to show symptoms, so it is expected that the coming weeks will witness increases in the numbers of the injured, which increases the pressure more on our first line of defense.
At this stage, we badly need two things that are extremely important: The first is what the state is currently doing in terms of measures and decisions to restrict the movement of people, and compel them to their homes as possible, in order to reduce new infections, slow the spread of the virus, and consequently gain more time to give The health sector is a breathtaking opportunity to deal with existing situations without too much pressure from new ones.
Previous decisions and actions were beneficial and good, but we certainly need greater and more severe measures in the next stage, because it is a crucial stage and needs more restrictions, more patience, and obliging people to stay in their homes for as long as possible, especially since the time series of the Corona virus is limited and known, starting from the spread People and their contact with each other, leaving homes in large numbers, automatically counteracted by the rapid spread of the virus and the increase in the number of infected people, and the increase in the number of infected people leads to a lack of medical services needed by those affected by this virus, and this deficiency automatically leads to an increase in the death rate, This series is clearly visible, and we have seen it clearly in many countries, so the best option is to increase the procedures for restricting the movement of people, and forcing them to stay in their homes.
The second thing that we badly need at the moment is the creation of work teams to study and analyze the virus situation in the Emirates. It is true that the world is currently full of studies, reports and medical information about this epidemic, but all of them are global studies related to other countries, which we may not resemble or resemble in our composition, our social fabric and the demographic situation .
So we need extensive studies on the status of the virus, the ages of the injured, how they recover, and what is the best situation for them, and what is the best way to deal with the infected and their types, and all other information about the Corona virus in the UAE only, and this information is collected and analyzed periodically by doctors And specialists, we can put in place the appropriate mechanism to deal with the injured without exposing our health system to the risk of collapse, it is very clear that not every “Corona” patient needs to be transferred to the hospital, and not every patient in the hospital needs a single room, but it is not we who determine this. Medical and scientific teams are required Looking information gathered and analyzed, and then issue appropriate to put the state medical decisions, so avoid and avoid the greatest danger of «Corona», an outbreak of a collapse of the health system.
We need these two things quickly. The speed of the virus outbreak is terrible and frightening and has worried the whole world. Every delay is not in our favor, and the positive positive experiences exist in many countries, such as China and South Korea and others, they managed to limit the spread of the virus, they were able to contain it, and reduce the numbers of new infections by a high rate. Very, they did not use a vaccine, and they did not have treatment, but they used these two methods in parallel and very quickly: binding decisions for people not to go out, and extensive analytical studies on the virus.
