It is true that every country had felt the effects of this pandemic. But, a difference
between poor and rich nations is very visible. First world countries seem to be very quick in
stopping the pandemic and recovering from it. How does it happen? Why is the Philippines
having a hard time providing solutions for the pandemic? What can we do to prevent this from
ever happening again?
Rich nations tend to be more durable in resisting a natural disaster like a health pandemic.
According to an online article published by an organization named 21 st century challenges, “The
government in richer countries have better access to resources that could help them resist natural
disasters”.
Disasters may be inevitable but we can always get ourselves prepared the next time it
happens. This could be achieved by developing Evidence-based laws and programs. Studying the
data brought to us by this pandemic could exploit the very root of the problem to the
government. As a result, they can approach this problem precisely using the details given by the
evidence-based approach.
Technology in communications and data gathering is ever evolving. As a youth of this country,
we are very able in utilizing the benefits of these modern day innovations in our society. I
therefore believe that with the help of science, and statistics, we cannot just build back but rather
improve several folds more the peace and prosperity of our country.
