Corona Virus (Psycological Health and general optimism)

                                   


Nowadays on the cups of discovering a vaccine for COVID-19 people has started to feel subsequently much more relieved .they may be confounded because of the feelings : pessimism due to the exposure to several risks particularly this virus which can lead to death or any fatal consequences ,versus optimism that scientists will surely find a vaccine soon .Genuinely ,optimism has obviously disappeared among nations when a tremendous numbers of people had the symptoms of pneumonia and the death rate became terrifying.

Nevertheless ,fewer group of people saw the lit candle in the darkness which gave those people their hope and persistence .Actually the social distancing was not that bad and here in the article I am going to talk a little bit about that theme

One upside of the virus : It helped the humanity to reunite once again to face the dangers. We find some countries support each other with subsidies to encounter the penetration of the pandemic. The substantial thing is that wars and military disputes which killed hundreds in the recent few years has started to diminish gradually.

Environmentally ,the specialized scientists are assuming that the phenomenon of global warming has become less effective in earth than before because the house isolation and compulsory social distancing have been the direct reasons to stop the industrial obsession of manufacture which reduced the emission of dangerous gases such as : NO2 , H2S and CO. The earth is said to breathe and regain the pure fresh air.

What is a public health emergency of international concern?

A public health emergency of international concern is declared by the WHO in cases of “an extraordinary event” which constitutes “a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease” and potentially requires a coordinated international response”.

This definition implies a situation that is “serious, unusual or unexpected; carries implications for public health beyond the affected State’s national border; and may require immediate international action”.

Speaking at a meeting of the WHO Executive Board on Monday, the agency’s chief, Tedros Gebreyesus, explained that the decision to announce a PHEIC was made because of signs of human-to-human transmission outside China, and WHO’s concern regarding what might happen if the virus were to spread in a country with a weaker health system.

International solidarity, preparedness, not panic

Mr. Ghebreyesus also noted the importance of containing the virus in China: “if we invest in fighting at the source, then the spread to other countries is minimal and also slow. If it’s minimal and slow, what is going outside can also be controlled easily. It can get even worse. But if we give it our best, the outcome could be even better”.

Several countries have already put travel restrictions in place, but Mr. Ghebreyesus pointed out that WHO is not recommending measures that “unnecessarily interfere with travel and commerce”.

The WHO chief called on all countries to implement decisions that are “evidence-based and consistent”, support nations with weaker health care systems, accelerate the development of effective vaccines, and “invest in preparedness, not panic”.

With the virus now present in some 23 countries, international solidarity is of utmost importance, said Mr. Tedros, because “we are all in this together, and we can only stop it together”.
