🛠 🧰 A CoVid-19 Win/Win/Win Recovery Strategy for managing the Not-at-Risk, the At-Risk, and the Economy using a Non-Testing Approach
Objective Summary
To effectively reduce the infection rates and the knock-on death rates, do so by identifying three (3) separate groups of population and by isolating two (2) groups and enabling the third group to return to economic functions.
This creates a win/win/win for the non-infected and those recovering, those at-risk, and for those willing to restart those paused economy productivity functions. This sidesteps the technical burden of repetitive and almost unsustainable testing. Also apparently in most pandemics we naturally isolate the infected but from all evidences it appears that in this pandemic it may behoove us to first and foremost do the unusual thing of identifying and isolating and protecting from exposure the At-Risk populations.
Instead of straining our limited resources on the infected by detecting, identifying, testing and treating, it appears we need to train our limited resources on the At-Risk population group by identifying, screening, protective-isolation, and treating by vaccinating or other therapeutics. This actually highlights that the susceptible and the vulnerable by virtue of being at higher risks are therefore of the more critical for prioritizing in this particular pandemic than in previous ones. Perhaps this is an approach we can test and adopt before the so-called second wave is here.
Method
The total population in the pandemic is a clinical mix of the non-infected and the recovered whom we may call the Not-at-Risk (NaR) group, the carrier symptomatic-infected, and the asymptomatic-infected (c-SAI) group, and the At-Risk (AR) group who are those with underlying chronic conditions. Conditions such as of the immunosuppressive, the immunocompromised, and the immunodeficient.
Now consider that since the virus’ 🦠 greatest threat is to the At-Risk population and since there continues to be a rise in infections with traumatic and hospitalization consequences, it would therefore seem plausible that a higher than normal group of the population consisting of the At-Risk (AR) are still out there exposed and is not aware of their At-Risk condition!
As such why not prioritize and expedite the developing of a "screening process" to identify those of the At-risk conditions who most represents the source of the critical suffering from infections and deaths. Then, those identified or who self-identify as At-risk are then advised and mandated to stay-at-home and avoid public venues until they receive the right antiviral counteractive treatment while the NaR group can ease back into the public-facing and economic functions.
Identifying the Risk
It’s possible the At-Risk population group is not fully aware of their underlying conditions and as such contracts the virus by continually being unintentionally exposed as a Front line personnel or it's possible that the At-Risk population is exposed right at home in proximity of a c-SAI group.
Implementation Of At-Risk Group Screening
Start the At-risk screening process with Front line personnel and their households, followed by those who continue to go into public venues for one reason or another, followed by the stay-at-home populations.
Isolation and Quarantine
Identified At-Risk population groups should be protected at home in a safe manner to avoid contact from those in the NaR and the c-SAI groups who also are in the same living space.
Separate the c-SAI group at home from those in the NaR and the At-risk groups at home as well.
It is quite possible that a single living space such as at home may comprise of all three (3) population groups.
The Antiviral Program
Reserve and prioritize vaccines and antivirals for both the At-Risk and the c-SAI group in isolation then followed by the NaR group for vaccination.
The Economy - Front line personnel
NaR group personnel would represent the group eligible to safely return to the front line economic and social public-contact functions and activities.
The Economy - Non-Front line personnel
NaR group personnel would represent the group eligible to safely return to the Non-front line economic and social public-contact functions.
Conclusion
Adoption of this strategy can best be done through a small-scale implementation by applying the strategy, collect the resulting data, then deciding whether to proceed on a larger scale.
