Prepare for life after a crisis: 5 important considerations

Prepare for life after a crisis: 5 important considerations


Considerations: While we are currently in a recent period like no other, it is essential not only to prepare for the necessary actions and precautions needed to successfully overcome these obstacles, but also to be prepared for the future plan effectively and think about the best way to plan and proceed accordingly. If we learned anything from this current crisis, it should be, we would be better served as our public officials, better and more effectively planned. It is essential for us to be better prepared in the future, and although, of course, in order to best deal with this pandemic, we must serve these individuals at the same time, we serve our interests, rather than just their personal / political agenda , and / or self-interest, in a short-sighted way! With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly consider, examine, review and discuss 5 key considerations to ensure a sustainable, qualitative future.

1. Economy: Our economic considerations are complicated by the irresponsible handling of the economy, as we have seen in recent years. We already had an economy, largely based on smoke and mirrors, that seemed much stronger than it really was, because it was supported to such an extent by a multibillion dollar deficit, empty promises and rhetoric. We need a stronger economy in the future, developing relevant, sustainable jobs, capable of driving a significant recovery, which will be noticed after the impact of this pandemic on current economic conditions. How will we encourage companies to recruit and gain confidence? What can be done to prevent panic?

2. Employment: Many expect unemployment to rise significantly, and some predictions will rise to around 30%. While we must help citizens in these difficult times to provide enough money and meet the needs of health care, etc., we must also plan for employment in the future!

3. Healthcare: Rather than making a politically motivated argument about Medicare - For - All, we need to realize that healthcare should become a right rather than just a privilege for the elite! But instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, we need to build on the goals of the Affordable Care Act, control costs more effectively (especially prescription prices and the burden on doctors and hospitals of today's Malpractice), system ), develop a well thought-out universal health care system that combines both a public and a private option!

4. Awareness / engagement: politicians have been trying for far too long to restrict access to all relevant information from much of the public. To avoid and / or minimize the consequences of future crises, we must raise public awareness and encourage greater involvement.

5. Planning / preparation / thinking outside the box: it's time to expand our capabilities and potential by committed to thinking outside the box and demanding much better, more relevant, more sustainable planning and preparation!

Wake up, America, and ask much better! Only when / if we believe, perceive and think more effectively will we see more of the same!
