Potential Measures For Management Of The Covid Pandemic Going Forward by Shivaji Sondhi - May 3, 2021 12:55 PM Fighting Covid. Snapshot How to counter the Covid-19 wave and guard against a future epidemic of another respiratory disease. I suggest a toolkit of measures that can ameliorate the ongoing second wave and also guard against an endemic disease or even a third wave that arises dues to viral mutations that evade the vaccines being currently scaled up in India. Such measures will also become the foundation of a barrier against a future epidemic of another respiratory disease: a novel influenza, or novel Covid or something altogether new. I ignore measures such as emergency acquisition of hospital treatment supplies and acceleration of the vaccination schedule which are already being deployed.
