COVID-19 - Conclusions and actions
This past month I’ve been thinking… a lot. And the conclusions I got (and lots of others got too) are pretty solid. Here’s what I found out:
- Governments are ill-prepared and can’t handle diseases at scale. (See this)
- And most of them don’t learn from the errors of others. (See this)
- Pharmaceutical companies can’t do it either because their whole operational flow is based on selling and distributing well-tested, thoroughly studied drugs and vaccines.
- Labs (including university Labs) are better as they move at a faster pace - yet most of the machinery they use and how it’s setup is for the development and study of drugs and vaccines on a longer timeframe.
- Startups are great and there is alot of good people willing to help but the lack of real resources behind them makes it infeasible.
- each startup will need to get a fully stuffed lab for what we are going to do.
Some of these groups can be of great help (like labs) but they are not fit for the speed required in situations like the one we are in.
