تطبيق "ويز" لمكافحة الفيروسات

Jun 30, 2020 Simon Johnson

واشنطن-تشهد معظم أنحاء الولايات المتحدة ارتفاعًا مُستمرًا في معدلات الإصابة بفيروس كورونا المُستجد. حتى لو نجحت الولايات المتحدة في تقليص تفشي المرض في الجنوب والجنوب الغربي خلال فصل الصيف، فإن التجارب السابقة مع الفيروسات التاجية الأخرى تنصح بالاستعداد لمواجهة موجة كبيرة مُحتملة خلال فصل الخريف القادم. نحن نعلم ما ينبغي توقعه في مختلف أنحاء نصف الكرة الأرضية الشمالي: فالعديد من الأشخاص قد يُصابون بالعدوى، لكن كبار السن وأولئك الذين يعانون من أزمات صحية هم الأكثر عرضة لخطر الموت.

يتطلب جعل جميع الفئات الضعيفة أكثر أمانًا استراتيجيات إجراء فحوصات طبية مُستدامة مع زيادة الاستعداد لارتداء أقنعة الوجه عند الضرورة والالتزام بقواعد التباعد الاجتماعي والتوسع السريع للتكنولوجيا ذات الصلة. تتضمن هذه التدابير نظامًا مُشابهًا لتطبيق "ويز" (تطبيق مشاركة المعلومات الشهير لحركة المرور على الطرق)، والذي سيزود الجميع بمعلومات أكيدة في الوقت الفعلي فيما يتعلق بمكان وجود الفيروس.

ما يزيد من خطورة الفيروس التاجي هو حقيقة أن الناس يمكن أن يكونوا مُصابين بالعدوى دون ظهور أي أعراض عليهم. نتيجة لذلك، حتى البلدان حيث معدل الانتشار منخفض حاليًا يجب أن تظل على أهبة الاستعداد باستمرار.

The antithesis of anything and everything: How to teach all children of the future to really keep their mouths shut, and unable to express any conscious intellectual development from any reasonable awareness by being totally denied any conceptual awareness of their own identity at critical ages of initial human growth and developmental brain processes.

The newest and latest ways to really prevent any learning and cognitive development right when it counts-COVID-19 really does a grand job of accomplishing that task!

Looks to me like it is time for another peek at the real time actionable intelligence sort of really analogous to the real ways rather than the imaginary Waze.

Spill it as you like it:
"On television, white primary school kids are humiliated and confused as they are asked to explain their white privilege. This is the ultimate endorsement of bullying by a political elite. BLM have ignited a race war, it is being played out in schools, on the streets and in the political arena, we are being told we must ‘see colour’, to actively encourage division by colour. There is no room for discussion or debate with this hypersensitive Facebook generation who are incapable of having an opinion unless it is ‘liked’ by consensus. Racial profiling is being endorsed across all mainstream media platforms."

Looks to me like that little peek adds up to this sum:

"The public will get no help, the elites have chosen to go to war against their own people."

That little timely and narrow latest peek from the UK, sure reflects exactly the same mime that's been the latest trending actions from the EU.

I credit all quotes and my allusions to:

Cheerios to Duran, Duran!

I rather liked "Hungry like the Wolf". and "Anyone Out There". Those titles had a certain reverberating ring, but not for the real cashless misaligned members!

Happy Fourth of July over The Atlantic, enjoy your isolation and celebrate your XXX
