Corona virus part 2. Consequences that changed the world





Worldwide virus outbreak drill

One could feel a prodigious scale game going on, from alarming news in distant places that never would reach or affect one directly to quickly stiffened with enforced governmental emergency surge in front of your eyes to unfold in a mature poisoned drama. Tension with periodic lockdowns could be felt as unrealistic war-like conditions which gave a feeling of playing a role in a life scene from an abysmal apocalyptic, lab escaped virus outbreak movie. It seems however that governments around the planet had a global real-life drill simulation, it appears that they have just tested their technical aptitudes and preparedness methods for a future global outbreak and to justify their action they marched under the cover of coronavirus outbreak because indeed it is the best opportunity to act without legislating laws and even with less interrogation for indictment from the public community. 
      
[2]If the WHO's visionary bold intention to stipulate and elaborate a comprehensive prompt action measures against every new virus that erupt and as definite result to absolutely eradicated in relatively short time the menacingly viral epidemic then application and testing the ground for such scenario definitely deserve obligated praise but contrary hastened recommended efforts for conducting governmental force major action could be a miscalculated ability of nations to stand for worldwide cooperation against invisible micro enemy which entail strangling of daily necessary functions, apprehension or austerity for population and decadence of businesses.

Consequences that changed the world

Mostly every single person on the earth, indifferent of the social status or age, had been affected directly with family members losses and grief or indirectly with work shortages and movement limitations due to restriction in traveling. As coronavirus spread across the borders it became a global player of mass disruption, the virus had and will inseparably kill people regardless nationality, wealth, religion or cultural beliefs and will disturb with further turmoil normal global functionality.

One of most significant and remarkable consequences is perhaps activation of global cooperation to a present or imminent threat and most likely that exactly a common harmful or deadly enemy in form of fast circulating coronavirus had strongly united attentive participation in taking global action which will pave an integral road for eradication of next outbreaks. In contrast to other global collaborations such as Paris climate agreement, that keep busy nations for a long and limited duration of action, coronavirus require stiff and quick measures to be taken in order to avoid mass destruction and numerous deaths. Having the pessimistic and dreadful virus events on positive note with fluent interchangeable common efforts that truly proved the ability, though moderate, of all the nations for global cooperation actions thus is not utterly abstract the idea of combating and preventing other global problems such as nuclear war or global warming. As in not so distant past harmful and dangerous events such convection for the protection of the Ozone Layer brought closer nations to the discussion table for formulating and tackling most imminent threats so it will in the forthcoming years nationwide forums will create participation for a more transparent and collaborative environment for resolving global issues. 
      
Another culled consequence to trace from the gigantic information flow that occurred during unhinged virus, is that physical contact became less frequent which pushed to untouchable interaction thus digital transformation rushed to fill the empty spaces caused by material immobility. Given the fact of isolation no pupils or students were allowed to visit schools or universities nevertheless assuming a complete lockdown ,of educational operation system is not sustainable for the society, some countries had emphasised an enthusiastic approached a digital connection for teaching the lessons or admitting the exams which were made online and remotely[1][2]
     It is not a secret that the dynamic societies are leaning to a digital world and already today most of the jobs are or go through an imbued digital environmental structure. Plenty of employers, despite a practical digital network connection, haven't avail the concept of a remote workplace but now as the coronavirus sorely strikes, with maybe unfair lockdown and curfew which were implemented in the whole countries, govern and businesses has strived to keep desperately the economy rolling and profit growing and as a result has unleashed immense surge for working elsewhere but not on the traditional of congregated by people workplace. Office workers were endowed with remote home workable digital nodes to continue with daily tasks of many private companies but not so many public institutions or banks. Why not public? Do they consist or are on the basic paper level and couldn't support a digital transition work?

Transparency unlock a remote outburst

Even though plenty of Public agencies and governmental administration bodies had a advanced digital infrastructure, it was still ill prepared to support a remote-like type of work but not the incompetent unwillingness to adopt seemingly useful working method that held the remote work to operate but strictly policies regarding transparency or privacy.
     Amid corona lockdown in Russia I was in Sri Lanka where I met an middle rank employee of the biggest Russian bank Sberbank, that informative discussion we had, explained why remote work places weren't used before. Supervising and thorough control of what information was accessible for employees were strictly regulated in the way that no one was able to take photos of the computer screen which supposedly contained sensible and secret data but since the lockdown the bank didn't want to sacrifice productivity which as result contributed to lunch flexible remote workplaces. Totally against the bank's norms and rules, now without cameras and supervisors at home employees become completely master of what they can share, what strategical photos they can take or let alone to copy the entire database if they wish. Transparency and privacy unlock in favor of normal functionality in the case of Sberbank in Russia give us a sticking glue hint of what is necessary in order to have a plausible distant work, remote studies or online healthcare. The more transparency a system achieves the more receptive and effective it becomes.
     In the aftermath of a gusty ravaged virus, countries that are extensively established in cyber domain will exit absolutely winners in fight with coronavirus, they are more prepared to prohibit movements and still preserve a fluid and normal operation of the country.

Equadating. The future of pandemic diseases 

Having abundant information from the past and reliable and unbiased data that we hold in the present is possibly with help of equadating almost exactly to elaborate whether it's feasible in the future another disastrous virus outbreaks like corona or not. Assuming that already today compliant and accurate self driving cars and ships move securely goods and food on the roads and oceans controlled by pedantic algorithms as well as evolved into virtual interactive workplaces, and remote school platforms or distant artificial intelligence online healthcare then naturally and convenient self isolating lifestyle, as it often calls indoor generation, would make malicious virus outbreaks unnoticeable or even will promote a hastened and completely elimination of the forthcoming severe pandemics. For this plausible scenario to materialize is necessary that isolated and remote poor places and struggling undeveloped country have equally the same level of digital connectivity as advanced and progressive countries which could be, and almost are achieved by global and omnipresent satellite internet coupling and last additional ingredient is a perceptive device and electricity which could be obtained relatively effortless everywhere. 
      If advanced and high speed internet connection is to allow people to station at home then monitoring is for tracking them down, in the case of authoritarian China with mass surveillance it did help to track and isolate the virus which certainly helped quickly to contain the spread in comparison with Europe or USA where legal supervising is inhibited. One thing is for certain, to achieve a thunder fast measure to locate the outbreak it is not without haunting the infected and contagious suspects for isolation and treatment, thus either its a legal supervising action or hided in the secret agencies, which control and detect the virus, it is vital for containing future outbreaks. In the same time bioengineering with increased ability to create in no time artificial yet biological custom-made antiviruses based on enhanced AI erudition further will facilitate and support either to prevent or to contain the ulterior outbreaks.

To note

It seems that periodically negative global actions will spill into positive and improved reactions and as more bombastic and glum the issue is, the more unbelievable and innovative solutions are enforced. From turbulent global cooperation, that faced the first ineffective drill of quarantine, lockdowns or curfews and left a huge space for improvement, to remote working and online studying which will highlight and note the flaws for renewing the routines. There will be numerous measures which will pull to contain, restrict the pandemic outbreaks and treat infected by virus patients however the forward-looking logic lean to prevent, similar virus explosion, rather to lockdown and stagnate most of the planet to combat the virulent outbreak.
