Is the world exaggerated sanitation policies? Experts draw up a survival plan

Governments cannot yet generalize their experiences in implementing quarantine policies to prevent the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19), as each experiment may differ according to the circumstances of the countries in which those policies were applied, but what is certain until now is that governments will consider several plans to confront the virus Until a treatment and vaccine is reached to radically confront the crisis.

Perhaps the application of complete sanitary isolation policies will not last in the coming months, and mitigating them is inevitably coming, so the Washington Post hired a number of scientists, doctors, and experts, to cast their opinions on how to deal with the Corona pandemic and to suggest solutions that would mitigate its effects, so the proposals came to suit most countries the world.

Doctors and nurses are heroes
Ruth Faden - an American scientist, academic and founder of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Bioethics - says health care workers are risking their lives and health in order to ensure their compatriots have the best chance of survival from the deadly Covid-19 epidemic.

Faden proposes the creation of a fund called "Coffed Heroes Fund-19", to provide financial support to the families of health care workers, in the event of the death of its sponsor as a result of infection.

In this regard, she adds, the US Congress must immediately enact legislation to establish a fund that will provide the family of the deceased with health care workers with at least $ 250,000 in compensation.

Limited working hours
Lawyer, businessman and politician John Delaney believes that small businesses have had difficult times accessing the wage protection program. Although the US House of Representatives is discussing legislation that gives the wage protection program more money, Delaney sees a better way to prevent layoffs and allow them to stay on payroll, which is compensation for a short period.

Governments can pay companies financial compensation for lost work hours as a result of the recession, crises, and disasters, which will allow companies to allow their workers to work part-time rather than lay off them.

Let's make the homes in hospitals
. Two doctors said that hospitals in the United States are either overcrowded with new corona patients, or they are preparing for a rise in the number of patients. And between this and that, patients must choose between hospital treatment where the risk of infection and the poor quality of medical care resulting from a lack of medical personnel and spaces, or dispense with hospital care.

However, Washington's internal medicine specialist Kavita Patel and medical director of the American video game company Accolade Shantano Nundi say in their Washington Post proposal that a third option is hospitalization at home.

The doctors explain that research conducted over years has proven that in-home hospitalization programs are safe and have low complications and deaths from many diseases, including pneumonia caused by Covid-19, which is the most common reason for hospitalization.

Donate the plasma According to Diana Perinet, who founded a group of survivors of the epidemic, the medical community is currently adopting a promising method of treatment, which is to transfer blood plasma from a person who has recovered from the virus to those who have the disease.

Burnett says this technology has been used successfully in dealing with viruses in the past, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), coronavirus associated with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), swine flu and Ebola.

Perinett believes that so far Covid-19 survivors - one of them - have recovered from the disease because their bodies have produced the appropriate antibodies to fight it.

Plasma is a component of blood, a transparent, yellowish liquid substance that contains a percentage of the antibodies that formed after infection.

Burnett appeals to people to donate plasma-loaded antibodies to help treat the injured.

Production of a vaccine
University of Oklahoma Assistant Professor Eric Johnson and head of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Baltimore Medical Center Theodore Pelly stressed the need for the US Food and Drug Administration to speed up approval procedures for the production of the emerging coronavirus vaccine.

And they cautioned that peoples face an imminent danger of a virus with the ability to grow with a geometric progression.

Alternatives to the elections
In its proposal the subject of electoral records in the United States, which can be circulated in some countries, the chief executive of rights group defender Efoot Eileen Keres, in her proposal.

She called for work to ensure that legitimate general elections are held in November, at a time when the emerging Coronavirus poses a threat to America's health and democracy sector.

In her proposal, Cares mentioned that there is a debate going on in the United States regarding voting by mail in the upcoming elections, noting the need to ensure that everyone who has the right to vote cast their ballots safely, and also obtain a voting card in the first place.

She explained that the best solution is to completely bypass the voter register and send voting cards to everyone who is entitled to vote in the elections, and not to registered voters only.

Local media
Develop and use local media to provide prevention reports and information, to maintain community safety and health, and financial support by governments.

Self-examination
Both the medical director of the American Aquid Corporation, Shantano Nundi and professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Marty McCurry, suggested that patients be allowed to carry out checks on themselves in their homes, to check for the emergence of the emerging coronavirus.

He pointed out that detecting the Corona virus can be done by taking a sample from the nose, as it is no longer a luxury now.
