Latestly a study gave the pandemics report which was the most scientifically proven examination of evidence. The examination was done with the help of 22 world’s best leading experts who were from every field epidemiology, public health, zoology, disease ecology, veterinary medicine, comparative pathology, wildlife health, pharmacology, economics, mathematical modeling, and public policy and law. This report was not just a statement but also a way of dealing with infectious diseases. The United Nations, WHO and International Trade Endangered Species and biodiversity have reviewed the report.
What report has to say about the pandemic?
The covid-19 is the 6th health pandemic globally after the Great Influenza of 1918. But it is said that the microbes are carried from the animals but there is the involvement in human activities.Â
Now the estimation is that more than 1.7 million are undiscovered diseases or viruses which exist in mammals and birds and out of that less than 850000 have the microbes to infect the human race. This is why now it becomes necessary that nations have to think of dealing with infectious diseases.
What can be done?
For the Human Ecological Disruption the risk can be reduced by lowering the human activities which are damaging biodiversity and Reducing Anthropogenic. And with that, if there is better conservation of areas which are protected this can save the natural environment.Â
With that, there should be no exploitation of higher-level biodiversity. This way there are high chances that wildlife microbes will not come in contact with humans and will also prevent them from spreading the disease.
The report also says that there is reliance on the responses of disease instead of taking that emergency situation and vaccines should be circulated as early as possible. This is why there was economic damage recorded globally. Many humans suffered and like 10 billion dollars were spent by the government just for dealing with infectious diseases.
Statistical report
The cost of dealing with infectious diseases of covid was almost $8-15 trillion globally in the year 2020. Later on, it was calculated that the United states of America alone reached the high cost of $15 trillion in the 4th quarter of 2021. Many experts said that the cost of curing is less than responding to those diseases. Since there is no control over Human Ecological Disruption there is very less chance to save money on your health.
Policies that can help deal with infectious diseases
- A decision will be made to provide greater facility to those science and evidence collecting units which will help in finding the reason and solution of reducing the risk. They will simply predict those high-risk areas and this thing will help in Reducing Anthropogenic.
- Global Pandemics should be handled globally means there should be a mutual agreement between the countries with a target of benefiting the human resources, the environment and animals.
- Creating the One health policy approach will help in getting prepared for dealing with infectious diseases. This will help in controlling the worst situation.
- A proper assessment of the land which is getting used for the projects. If there is some big experiment going then what are the benefits of that land will there be harm to anyone or not.
- The economic cost of the pandemic reason should be divided into production, consumption and the budget of the government.
Conclusion
If things are not taken into control then the future pandemics have a higher chance to spread more than before and will spread rapidly that will kill the people in more amounts and there will be more damage to the country’s economy and world economy. There is a need of dealing with infectious diseases of covid-19 and this disease is spread globally so if the decision is taken on a global basis only then the world’s population will survive otherwise there will be killings and with that, there will be loss of income on a daily basis.
