Shortage of personal protective equipment endangering health workers worldwide

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

WHO calls on industry and governments to increase manufacturing by 40 per cent to meet rising global demand

The World Health Organization has warned that severe and mounting disruption to the global supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) – caused by rising demand, panic buying, hoarding and misuse – is putting lives at risk from the new coronavirus and other infectious diseases. Healthcare workers rely on personal protective equipment to protect themselves and their patients from being infected and infecting others.But shortages are leaving doctors, nurses and other frontline workers dangerously ill-equipped to care for COVID-19 patients, due to limited access to supplies such as gloves, medical masks, respirators, goggles, face shields, gowns, and aprons.

For countries with imported cases and/or outbreaks of COVID-19

  1. Immediately activate the highest level of national Response Management protocols to ensure the all-of-government and all-of-society approach needed to contain COVID-19 with non-pharmaceutical public health measures;
  2. Prioritize active, exhaustive case finding and immediate testing and isolation, painstaking contact tracing and rigorous quarantine of close contacts;
  3. Fully educate the general public on the seriousness of COVID-19 and their role in preventing its spread;
  4. Immediately expand surveillance to detect COVID-19 transmission chains, by testing all patients with atypical pneumonias, conducting screening in some patients with upper respiratory illnesses and/or recent COVID-19 exposure, and adding testing for the COVID-19 virus to existing surveillance systems (e.g. systems for influenza-like-illness and SARI); and

  5. Conduct multi-sector scenario planning and simulations for the deployment of even more stringent measures to interrupt transmission chains as needed (e.g. the suspension of large-scale gatherings and the closure of schools and workplaces).

[2018] More Dangerous Outbreaks Are Happening. Why Aren’t We Worried About The Next Epidemic?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

People ― and more of them ― are living much closer together, driving up the risk for an outbreak in a massive urban center. Worldwide travel makes the spread of something like this easier than ever before. And the changing environment ― from different exposure to parts of the world, a general disregard for habitat and continuous climate change ― means humans are seeing things they haven’t faced before, in areas that have never seen them before.

Taiwan, Shut Out From WHO, Confronts Deadly Wuhan Coronavirus – The Diplomat
— Read on archive.is/rTemV

Taiwan was brought up, quite a few times, during a recent House of Foreign Affairs session with the CDC. WTF does Taiwan and WHO have to do with the way U.S. responds to COVID-19 was my question?!

I’m sure it has to do with their amnesty towards China but this is the article that CIA/Mossad Wikipedia source quoted.

Bills in Congress:

H.R.353 – To direct the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to regain observer status for Taiwan in the World Health Organization, and for other purposes. – Sponsored by Ted Yoho, who was head of the meeting.

S.249 – Senate equivalent sponsored by James M. Inhofe.

S.1678 – Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act of 2019 sponsored by Senator Cory Gardner.

H.R.4754 – Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act of 2019 sponsored by Representative John R. Curtis.

Do these people ever think about improving the lives of Americans or is it just their pocketbooks?! 🙄

What the Coronavirus Means for Pandemic Bonds (Podcast)

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Back in 2017, the World Bank issued the world’s first pandemic bonds. The bonds are meant to shift some of the financial risk of a global pandemic on to investors, but they’ve been criticized for having ’triggers’ that are too tough to generate payouts. Now, as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread, it’s worth looking at how these bonds are structured and what they can tell us about the future of public-private partnerships in finance.
