Los Angeles, California Mar 17, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - The economic impact this situation has presented is quite unprecedented. Due to this lack of readiness, most healthcare professionals are starting to observe how a global crisis such as this one, is causing health care medical suppliers to leverage “innovative” ways to meet the demands of the public call for safety.
With the SNS Strategic National Stockpile : (The agency ultimately responsible for maintaining emergency equipment the cases such as the COVID 19) soliciting emergency bids for medical supplies, the message is clear the demand for preventative and protective measures is clear as day.
A quick review of the information presented by the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency, in its "Recommended Actions for Law Enforcement Agencies to Prepare For and Respond To Pandemic Influenza” clearly outlined in its 2010 H1N1 response, that there was a need for more robust and preventative infectious disease control solutions.
More specifically the same policy mentioned above called for Police and Emergency Management Personnel to
* Perform health screening of all staff
* Ensure officers maintain at least a 3-foot separation between subjects
* Perform flu screening of all subjects brought into custody.
It seems this message from 2010 has presented a back to the future message that should be heeded by all. Especially those who place their lives on the line to protect the institution of safety
However, a more important and equally relevant question still stands.
If our federal agencies are expressing a need for medical supplies and solutions, what does this say for the men and women who are in charge of providing emergency services locally in our communities like say EMS and Police Officers?
Today an alarming indication that our men and woman that serve & protect are in the line of fire of this viral crisis as well.
When the police officer from Cleveland contracted the COVID19 virus during the line of duty, a small company (FEEVR) in West Hollywood decided to take action.
Leveraging technology created initially to help Law Enforcement detect concealed weapons, they reengineered the technology to identify symptomatic individuals, (get this) through the use of AR Goggles.
These ROBOCOPS of sorts will be able to wear these glasses while on duty without impeding their field of vision and giving them the first-ever “Advanced Sensing & Warning” capability to address an infectious disease situation like the one presented today.
The small team of former Intelligence, Military and Executives have indicated that even they can’t outpace the supply blockades that are impacting the rest of the world.
During the time of this press release, they indicate that 4,743 of these devices are left.
