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.
