COVID-19 Issues, Actions & Best Practices

This thread is to discuss issues and best practices to tackle infectious diseases especially Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19. Although it focuses on India relevant news from across the world may also be posted.

All candidates for best practices are classified under Best Practices though they are not yet proven to be best. (this line will be removed later).

I am changing 'Best Practices' to 'Actions'. This is because actions are taken against issues without knowing its effect and whether it is 'best action' or 'best practice' is decided at the end only. 'Actions' may be 'Preventive Actions/Measures', 'Mitigation Measures', 'Corrective Measures/Actions', 'Control Actions' etc. Even advisories/advices can be 'actions'. (Decision-making, Issue log , Project Issue Management , Control (management), Control system).

Actions are classified as following
  • 'Control Actions' will be from various government agencies like central government, state governments, local governments at cities & villages, courts and then WHO advices will also be included (will not be subclassified).
  • 'Suggested Actions' are suggestions from non-government experts, opinion makers, self-styled experts/expert-journalists etc.
  • 'Innovative Actions' are disruptive actions taken by public, companies and non-government organizations.
  • 'Volunteer Actions' are from volunteers & voluntary organizations. Because of workload I am not going for further classification but a tracker tool users can do that more easily.
  • 'Private Actions' are actions taken by individuals, companies/organizations/societies/communities for themselves.

It is also interesting to see how 'actions' will result in further chain of issues though I may not be able to link them in this thread. Because of this 'actions' will become 'issues' later. For that matter here I am clubbing so many issues together under a single class of issues.

At the end we can decide about best practices looking at the results 'actions' produce.

Supply Chain Issues

Coronavirus lockdown: With no food or hope, truckers stranded across India
Quote:
Some 500,000 drivers and helpers have been left high and dry across the many state borders because of lockdown, suggest estimates by the IFTRT

Twenty eight-year-old Mohammad Javed, driver of a truck carrying LPG cylinders, has been stranded at the Hubli checkpost since Tuesday afternoon without food, water or any hope. The policemen posted at the border would not allow him to cross over as the COVID-19 lockdown is to be followed stringently.
Quote:
“The biggest challenge we are facing is with all the dhabas and restaurants being shut, the drivers have no option but to starve. The loading location provides food but enroute no dhabas are open,” says a person associated with the business.
Quote:
Meanwhile, there’s been a ripple effect with the plight of the hapless drivers stuck at the borders reaching their co-workers. They are now refusing to report to work, says Singh. “With no food or requisite infrastructure in sight, they don’t want to leave home.” The delays are also because of the confusion regarding what is essential and what’s non-essential, he adds. “Everything has come to a standstill,” he added.

When essential commodities becoming scarce some amount of fasting may be useful to kill germs accumulated in stomach but should be careful not to stress too much.

The technique in the video below is similar to the YPV technique above with supporting reasons.

And here is some good food.

Food In The Time of Coronavirus


Supply chain for foods should be strong enough to see that there is no dearth of protein, vitamin C foods which strengthens immune system. People should also be encouraged to expose themselves to morning or evening sun for vitamin D. Traditional medicinal items like amrtaa/amrtaavalli/giloy/guduchi (tinospora cordifolia), tulasi (holy basil, ocimum tenuiflorum), neem, gooseberry/amla (emblica officinalis), turmeric, ginger etc should also be available aboundantly in essential commodities market.

It is best to broadcast 'pratical videos' (showing how to do actual exercises) like above videos on yoga, pranayama, meditation in TVs (including cable TVs) instead of wasting time on discussions only. Though these exercises may not help much in the short run they will be very useful in the long run.

The development by "Fabiosys Innovations", a start-up incubated at IIT-Delhi, comes at a time when the world is dealing with the deadly coronavirus outbreak. However, the team has been working on the project for over a year with support from the government's Department of Science and Technology.
Quote:
"What is interesting about the Fabiosys' fabric is that even after washing multiple times, it does not lose its functionality. This fabric can be stitched into various articles such as bedsheets, the uniforms for patients, doctors and nurses and even curtains. The fabric satisfies the Indian washing standards in terms of number of washing. It is also completely non-toxic and affordable," he added. IIT has collaborated with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for a pilot run of the product.

Whether technology can help to overcome the crisis?

It's once in a century health crisis: Dr Potluri

A fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data
Quote:
Draconian countermeasures have been adopted in many countries. If the pandemic dissipates — either on its own or because of these measures — short-term extreme social distancing and lockdowns may be bearable. How long, though, should measures like these be continued if the pandemic churns across the globe unabated? How can policymakers tell if they are doing more good than harm?
Long term planning is required. NITI Ayog has a big task.

1. Supply Chain

Each district should prepare a long term plan for procuring and distributing essential commodities, pharmaceuticals, security gadgets. Huge scope is there for computerized planning - 'ERP for supply chain management' can be deployed at district level by district authorities if not at country or state level. There is scope for developing cheaper versions of biological hazard resilient supply chain. Medical/healthcare logistics, food logistics, fuel/energy logistics, police logistics, humanitarian logistics and all other essential services maintenance act related logistics are priority ones. Location-based delivery services can be incorporated as a part supply chain.

At least all essential commodities industries should be up and running as soon as possible. Many middle class families have already procured groceries for a month. Hence at the end of this there will be another rush for groceries.

District authorities should have details like stock, demand, supply etc on their finger tips. They should also have alternative supply arrangement to meet the demand. All essential commodity industries to meet the demand should be running continuously - Udupi allows operation of rice mills, coconut oil manufacturing units.

E-commerce platform (‘Launch e-commerce platforms to link farmers with consumers’) is integral part of supply chain management. WhatsApp (Now, doorstep delivery through WhatsApp) and other social media platforms also be tried for placing order including cashless (WhatsApp Pay).

Human Resource Management should be a part of districtwise 'supply chain management and logistics' - COVID-19: KSRTC deploys buses for emergency services.

No idea whether district authorities have access to GST Daily Stock Account to check inventory status of the district and whether summary report on essential goods inventory is available.

2. Employment

- IT workers are asked to work from home
- Recruitments go online
- Colleges go online
- Doctors go for telemedicine
- Courts opt video conference
- Online shopping - but Supply issues hit online delivery services
- E-offices - E-offices keep things going as usual in some govt. departments, Laptop sales surge in India as employees work from home during lockdown

But how to employ others like MSME and construction including migrant workers is a big issue. Self-reliant villages generating local employment can be planned including a plan for to and fro movement of goods as a part of supply chain management.

Issue is also of loosing income earner of family - Here's why the coronavirus may be killing more men than women. The US should take note.

Such ionised water droplets can help in the oxidation of viral proteins into non-harmful molecules. The innovators believe that the electrification of water can work as a larger version of what an alcohol-based hand sanitiser can do in comparatively smaller spaces. This way, the oxidation technique can potentially sterilise an entire city.

Quote:
Once the antibodies are discovered, those can be injected into a sick person to stimulate his/her immune system that would speed up recovery. “Besides, the testing of existing anti-viral drugs and formulations kept at different Government approved chemical libraries would be conducted. Like the anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine, there may be other anti-viral drugs with which Covid-19 cases can be tested.

We are awaiting for approval for clinical trial of the existing drugs,” the scientist added.

Coronavirus Science & Technology - Research & Innovations in India

'Airtel Thanks App' makes staying indoors a little easier

Google Launches India-Specific Website To Provide Up-To-Date COVID-19 Information
Google launches India-specific website on COVID-19
Quote:
The website has four key sections: health information, safety and prevention tips, data & insights, and resources.
Whether google uses its artificial intelligence abilities to track issues, best practices, advisories, lessons learnt, innovations etc (far better than done by me here manually) from news reported by various publishers & other sources and generate report based on this to help India's 'Aarogya Sethu' tracker? It is useful to have both worldwide and country-specific trackers.

Unlike government controlled websites reporting only about status of virus affected people google map can also track number of deaths due to lockdown including alcohol non-availability.

Now comes issue of data localization for news etc. Anyway social media based countrywide ERP (ERP for supply chain management) is unimaginable.
