What methods can we use to evaluate the current state of a pandemic disease?
We should reflect on the outcomes of the past. Take the plague, for instance—it devastated the globe, resulting in nearly half the population’s demise…is it possible for such a scenario to unfold again?
Our most powerful asset lies in the scientific advancements available today, especially when compared to the medical knowledge of former times. Presently, we have ventilators, testing kits, and advanced hospitals dedicated to patient care. Unlike the plague, which persisted for over three years without any chance of a vaccine, today’s isolation measures have the potential to weaken the disease.
Currently, our medical researchers have developed treatments for numerous deadly illnesses like smallpox and polio…yet we urgently require a vaccine to combat the emerging virus. With our contemporary methods, I am confident that we will achieve success.
It’s important to continue adhering to guidelines: maintain hygiene, isolate when necessary, stay at home, keep a sensible distance from others, avoid large gatherings, and wear a face mask, etc. I recognize that you’re all aware of this, but reiteration is always beneficial.
In today’s world, travel and large populations provide an advantage to viruses, yet our capability to detect and treat these illnesses is much more likely to demonstrate the efficacy of our technology and help us navigate through this crisis.
Stay safe and well.
