The year 2020 was considered the beginning of a great changes to humanity and the

whole world. The birth of the unexpected cursed brought shocked and devastation that
created a new path and direction that our world is dealing with today. The immediate
closure of schools, establishments and other institutions forced the people to stay home
and put all behind the unfinished task of everyone. New orders and roles have been
implemented to avoid the spread of the virus. Most of the areas faces difficulties and
struggles on the how to survive during the quarantine and nationwide lockdown that
separated the rich and poor into a huge difference. Based on my experience I noticed
the changes that this pandemic affected us. Of what I remembered it is almost two
years of learning and adopting the new normal system. Limitations and controlled were
implied as we continue to battle this virus. As vaccinations for all has already been
implemented time will come that we will overcome this pandemic. For now the only thing
I can do is to follow the basic law and by wearing face mask and face shield to protect
myself and my family from the deadly virus. I also taught myself to be more open
minded in facing many obstacles. As we are all waiting this pandemic to finally arrives
on it to end. And these are some ways how to be prepared: 1) Update the existing
emergency operations plan based on various scenarios a school may face during a flu
pandemic. 2) Address key prevention strategies in an emergency operations plan, such
as promoting everyday preventative actions at all times, providing flu-prevention
supplies in school, identifying space that can be used to separate sick people, and
developing a risk-assessment and risk-management process for the school. 3) Discuss
and plan for school dismissals if the flu gets worse, including educating students if
schools are temporarily dismissed (web-based instruction, email, social media, local
television, radio stations, or U.S. mail); identifying strategies to continue essential
services; and identifying action steps for re-opening school. 4) Communicate about
pandemic flu and nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPI) through updating emergency
plans for distributing timely and accurate information across staff, students, suppliers,
and key community partners; and addressing potential language, cultural, and disability
barriers associated with communicating pandemic flu information to staff and students.
5) Get input and support for emergency operations and communications plans by
sharing with staff, students, and key stakeholders, and developing training and
educational materials about the plans for staff, as well as testing and updating the plans
every 12-18 months. Learn how diseases spread to help protect yourself and others.
Viruses can be spread from person to person, from a non-living object to a person and
by people who are infected but don’t have any symptoms.Prepare for the possibility of
schools, workplaces and community centers being closed. Investigate and prepare for
virtual coordination for school, work (telework) and social activities.Gather supplies in
case you need to stay home for several days or weeks. Supplies may include cleaning
supplies, non-perishable foods, prescriptions and bottled water. Buy supplies slowly to
ensure that everyone has the opportunity to buy what they need.Create an emergency
plan so that you and your family know what to do and what you will need in case an
outbreak happens. Consider how a pandemic may affect your plans for other
emergencies.Review your health insurance policies to understand what they cover,
including telemedicine options.Create password-protected digital copies of important
documents and store in a safe place. Watch out for scams and fraud.What to expect in
these year 3 pandemic In the well-vaccinated wealthier countries of the world, year
three of the pandemic will be better than year two, and covid-19 will have much less
impact on health and everyday activities. Vaccines have weakened the link between
cases and deaths in countries such as Britain and Israel (see chart). But in countries
that are poorer, less well vaccinated or both, the deleterious effects of the virus will
linger. A disparity of outcomes between rich and poor countries will emerge. The Gates
Foundation, one of the world’s largest charities, predicts that average incomes will
return to their pre-pandemic levels in 90% of advanced economies, compared with only
a third of low- and middle-income economies.Although the supply of vaccines surged in
the last quarter of 2021, many countries will remain under-vaccinated for much of 2022,
as a result of distribution difficulties and vaccine hesitancy. This will lead to higher rates
of death and illness and weaker economic recoveries. The “last mile” problem of
vaccine delivery will become painfully apparent as health workers carry vaccines into
the planet’s poorest and most remote places. But complaints about unequal distribution
will start to abate during 2022 as access to patients’ arms becomes a larger limiting
factor than access to jabs. Indeed, if manufacturers do not scale back vaccine
production there will be a glut by the second half of the year, predicts Airfinity, a
provider of life-sciences data.Thats all I know be safe and prepared when a pandemic
strikes.
