Confidence just with unity

It is respectful to work with experts on their recommendations, sure. It's also wise, though, and it strengthens mutual confidence. 

Just by refining unity, we can hold mutual confidence with global health leadership.

Global health experts are asking countries to take note of technology, digital population management tools and other broad, creative strategies. We should listen, dialogue and host public forums for international representatives to agree and align. We should respect the due north of technology wins. This respect will secure a solid footing for upcoming pandemics as well. Read more here. 

Global health experts are asking countries to acknowledge and address surges and surge risks in the coming weeks and months. COVID is not going to go away. Countries are not doing enough to reach out and listen to WHO experts on reduction work. We should reach out internationally and ask our governments to model dialogue. Read more here. 

Global health experts are asking countries to believe their epidemiology. If the majority have not been exposed to COVID, we have an even greater responsibility to manage, prevent and fund. Their asks in funding have gone unanswered, even though the asks are an economic investment. These asks should be funded, now. An investment for the present pandemic is an investment for future pandemics. Read more here. 

Global health experts repeatedly tie infectious disease with climate and other regulation. When we ask them to list short and long term recommendations, we need to follow through on listening. This needs to start now, out of mutual respect. It is much wiser to respond to an impending storm right at the first sign of a breeze. We are well beyond the first signs. 


Members of the public are not the only ones under fatigue. When expertise goes ignored, we have sent the wrong message to the experts. We would be wise to attend the due north of global health expertise with interstellar mutual respect, now.

Refugees, migrants and forcibly displaced persons

Continued pandemic management requires improved operations for forcibly displaced persons, migrants and refugees. Better organization for this population will expedite prevention and treatment for people, assist host countries and help prepare for future outbreaks. Organization for refugees, migrants and forcibly displaced persons should include:  * International oversight      R ecommendations and monetary awards for countries managing these populations should be supported with global analyses and follow up   .    Cohesive action should be driven by formal global planning, with experts at the table.    Real time analysis of host country needs and resources for the refugee and forcibly displaced population. If we are aware of the basics, we can improve real time analytics.  * Accountability    World Health Organization situational reports shape questions of accountability to epidemiological and surveillance improvements.

Beyond the Board

Sometimes it takes more than a board of directors to ensure an agency or government is safeguarding our interests. This is particularly true in regulation.  While a country's best interests may not align with international agenda, regulation on behalf of safety and protection is almost always universal. Workarounds to regulation, often allowed of out of self interest or cost, should be tied to international repercussions.  Regulation of food, markets, environmental epidemiology and other early prevention in novel strains make a difference.  Upcoming pandemics and outbreaks can be avoided, or at least better addressed, with better regulation. The international community should gather several policy points, measures and international comparisons. The international health community should observe, encourage and report on countries with and without these policies.  The end of the year COVID-19 WHO report is dynamic and impressive. It is missing policy development and in...

Party Bus

R egulatory approval across borders remain suboptimal. The suboptimal description is subjective, and our world has no way to measure optimal international regulatory efficiency. For all the work we have placed in international alignment, in every industry, we have yet to formalize evaluation measures on how we're doing.  International regulatory alignment is a fun party bus, yet many countries are reluctant to join. If we really trust one another, and our collegial backstory, we know we can join safely. Bus rides can perform stops, breaks when necessary, and rejoining when ready, but they can't wait forever for one to initially hop on. We don't have the option to join at any time, yet after we join, every option is available to us. A country that gets on the party bus remains in control alongside one another. This is especially important as we work toward better medicine for loved ones, for those seeing stars, and for everyone in the world.   Evaluate international r...
