Salvaging (to try to make a bad situation better)<\/strong> strategy: On scaling up COVID-19 vaccinations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rational safety measures and scaled up vaccinations can rein in (to limit or control)<\/strong> COVID-19<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s aggressive second wave of coronavirus infections marked by over 1,50,000 cases a day and many deaths is clearly the result of irrational exuberance (the quality of being full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness)<\/strong> early in the new year. After prematurely assuming that COVID-19 was virtually over, governments made rash decisions to allow large religious gatherings and political campaigns with little regard for disease control. The lapse is now threatening a nascent (just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential)<\/strong> economic recovery. Rather than view the crisis as a political setback, the government should focus on a mitigation strategy that will not hobble (to limit something or control the freedom of someone)<\/strong> the economy, while stopping the wildfire spread of the virus. A key intervention would be to protect the labour force through a scaling up (If you scale up something, you make it greater in extent than it used to be)<\/strong> of vaccinations in industry and workplaces. Employers must also be encouraged to retain or opt for staggered working hours (when the staff work a set number of hours during the day, but at different times)<\/strong> and work-from-home protocols. The national vaccination strategy, however, remains inscrutable (impossible to understand or interpret)<\/strong> and non-transparent, since more vaccines, including WHO-approved ones, remain unavailable to Indians for unspecified reasons. Allowing all proven vaccines to be offered in cities with suitable cold chain capacity at prices comparable to European or U.S. acquisitions \u2014 typically under $20 a dose for m-RNA vaccines \u2014 would be as much a decision on the economy as on public health, making more Covishield and Covaxin doses available to priority recipients. This cannot, of course, be a silver bullet (something that acts as a magical weapon especially : one that instantly solves a long-standing problem)<\/strong>, given the big population that remains to be covered, the fast pace of virus spread enabled in part by variants and younger age groups showing symptomatic disease. At present, the social vaccine \u2014 masking, healthy distancing and public etiquette \u2014 is vitally important, more so because the health system is not equipped to handle severe disease countrywide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SBI<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The scientific view of pandemic fatigue is that people see the opportunity cost of prolonged adherence to demanding restrictions as too high, considering the value of things lost. That includes access to education, meeting with loved ones, performing life rituals, and the conflict of both work and home confined to the same space. This universal experience is made worse in India by deficits in housing, mobility options and good living conditions. It is important for the government, therefore, to come up with rational activity curbs (a check or restraint on something)<\/strong>, keep them stable and incentivise people, including through financial rewards. These initiatives can lower the perception of lost opportunities and compensate workers in the affected sectors such as the travel, food and hospitality industries. This road map can be reviewed when vaccines become widely available and cases decline, although a return to a carefree past is a long way off. Political communication on the state of the pandemic lacked a clear sense of purpose during festivals and poll campaigns. Now, the COVID-19 strategy can avert costly partial or full lockdowns only with public cooperation, and that calls for building credibility and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
