NOT READY FOR CORONAVIRUS

In the media today, Dr Allan Marat stated that PNG is not ready for Coronavirus. This is true. 

The awareness campaign should start now so that we go straight into a national response.

There are clans across the nation that will be struck down through sheer lack of awareness.

There will have to be closures of schools, churches, hospitals, football matches, public transport and work places. Citizens need access to masks. Food and medical supplies needs to be available for the nation.

Governments will need disinfectants to spray in public places. Hospital staff will need to be briefed. Policy needs to be decided on quarantine procedures.

It might be that public activity has to be locked down for a year or more. Hospital morgues may readily become full to capacity.

There was a report on BBC advising people to be up to date with innoculations and medication. Does this mean measles, tetanus, antiretroviral medication and cancer drugs?

The virus kills people with pre-existing infections. I have prostate cancer which may be a fatal impediment for coronavirus.

A large church congregation in South Korea has been struck down with the virus.
