Hey Everyone, I was reading a story indicating that Quebec has now become an epicentre with a surge in recent cases. I was wondering if there are enough resources or if we need to increase supply at major hospitals throughout Quebec and surrounding areas. If anyone has any medical supplies or personnel that we can send to Quebec it can make all the difference. Perhaps building temporary hospitals to combat any overflow from the hospitals in addition to bolstering supply and support. If anyone has any supplies that they can send to help Quebec or other affected cities it can save lives. In addition, we should see about opening up national supply lines to coordinate efforts based on surge indicators so that we can always ensure that every hospital is fully supplied during this time. Perhaps focusing on surge spots to gain quarantine, increase patient survivability rate and stock supply to keep flare ups from becoming transmission vectors for the virus. Perhaps this can save lives while we work on a vaccine. in addition, we should see about coordinating our national food supply as well take stock of national reserves and distribute food based on need and supply chains. Where there are supply chains lacking we should coordinate additional backup provisions to ensure every province, territory and state is fed from coast to coast. Coordinating medical need, supply and food management throughout this crisis will allow us to better manage the day to day hurdles we are facing while planning a new framework for the future of our world. If we coordinate, communicate and care for one another we will rise above this and any other adversity that we face as a people. If we watch out for one other we will build stronger cities, nations and a stronger world because of it. We must stand for one another now more than ever. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
