Operation COVID-19. Then and Now. Why coronavirus is ravaging Prince George's County, a wealthy black county in Maryland

situations, and solutions are always provided
Prepare for the
next ‘Perfect Storm’
Why coronavirus is
ravaging Prince George's County, a wealthy black county in Maryland. (Washington Post. April 2020)
Note: Workshop below. Berwyn Heights is located
in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Some were getting prepared and being
proactive. Others may have just deleted the message.
Solutions
are available,
but from experience they will not be taken unless from a source or any entity
where their ‘ice is colder’ than ours and not from our own
community and we continue to remain reactionary.

Thanks. This is needed. Proactive approach. I
especially and hope that the importance of this is being conducted on a
Sunday is communicated to others.
A hot issue that has
synergy with climate change.
Senior and vulnerable population members of our communities will
be greatly affected if, and when it occurs. After it occurs reactionary
approach is too late.
POD’s (points of distribution) for medication should be part of the
planning for all communities. POD food and medication may be co-located
for security reasons. Churches have also been considered
as key POD locations.
Additional funding in the planning for those seeking it……………..

“TRAINING AND A MOVIE: THE EFFECTS OF A BIOLOGICAL
PANDEMIC”
This workshop is intended to showcase the ‘unrealized’ effects
a biological outbreak will have on a community and to prompt discussion
amongst attendees as to what planning and preparation needs to be done beyond
the basic State Health Department plans to dispense medication.
We will begin with a brief training overview of some known
biological agents: their classification, signs and symptoms, and what makes
them a threat. The review will be followed by a modified-tabletop
exercise using scenes from a movie that accurately depicts the ripple effects
of a biological outbreak as the scenarios for our group discussions. We
will track an unknown biological agent from its initial appearance in
‘patient zero’ to its explosion as a worldwide pandemic. As the movie
progresses, we will stop it, look at the events that have taken place up to
that point and discuss what effect these events would have on Prince Georges
County and the surrounding areas.
Who should attend this workshop? …
Government officials and
other community leaders, law enforcement, fire, first responders, health
department and medical personnel, business leaders, CERT members & other community response
organizations … basically everyone!.
If/when this happens, it
will truly take a community working together to make it through.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We
are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding
conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.
Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing
bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity. This may well be
mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos or community.” Dr.

Community’.
