Post Pandemic PreParedness: Responding To Our Most Vulnerable Populations
Last week we explored the impact of COVID 19 on inner city communities in and around Baltimore, Maryland. Some populations around the globe are being hit harder than others; globally our response to this pandemic has been less than adequate. We were especially unprepared to mitigate the impact the pandemic, that have devasted much of the world, had on the economically, socially and medically vulnerable. Slowing the spread depends, in large part, on how we respond to these populations. The Global Health Security Index: Building Collective Action and Accountability report, dated October 2019, articulates essential recom- mendations for global governments to consider as a means for the prevention, detection and rapid response to enormous public health threats. Are these recommendations the answer? Will they assist us with post pandemic preparedness to respond to our most vulnerable populations?
Do you have some thoughts around how we have dealt with this pandemic at a global level?
“How do you think the US has done compared to other countries in response to this?”
“We have to set aside all politics and set aside all the ideology and look at what this virus actually doing to us.”
One thing that we do know now, for those who didn’t know it before, the COVID-19 pandemic certainly educated us that viruses know no borders.
“There's an amazing effort that was actually a grassroots effort in Baltimore called the Baltimore neighbors network, where hundreds of volunteers are calling thousands and thousands of people at home to check on them.”
How is Detroit’s response to the global pandemic?
The problems that arise when healthcare professionals are put in a position of having to make these difficult decisions with little or no guidance.
There's also an opportunity for us to do the work to impact policy. There are so many remote systems set up right now for those with the proper skill set to help.
“This is an opportunity, also where we get to see who can see the best of people sometimes in the darkest of situations.”
