Food security through grain inventory management in the time of Covit-19.

Here is an interesting paper:

Dear Nasir Mustafa , Thanks for sharing contemporary research paper.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic that causes Covid-19 disease generates global crises and is generally global in nature. In order to effectively limit the development of a pandemic, individual countries should cooperate with each other, exchange experiences from the process of limiting the development of a pandemic, should provide information from conducted research, etc. On the other hand, developing countries, countries of the Southern Hemisphere may have less financial resources allocated for actions preventive, for improving security systems, for conducting scientific research compared to highly developed countries, Northern Hemisphere countries. However, according to data on the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus epidemic in individual countries, the most important, most effective are traditional security measures and procedures, such as recommendations for home quarantine, thanks to which the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic is significantly limited and slowed down. These types of security procedures and recommendations due to their elemental nature are used in various countries, both in developed and developing countries. Therefore, such elements of prevention and security systems and instruments are global.

Greetings.

Promouvoir par des discussions académiques un Nord Global et un Sud Global, c'est , de notre point de vue, vouloir renforcer une discrimination qui masquerait la réalité. Si le nord global c'est le développement et le sud global, le sous-développement, en accentuant le trait; alors que fait-on du sud global qui existe dans certains pays du nord, je pense, en particulier a ce grand pays du nord , les Etats Unis, où le Covid 19, révèle au monde l'existence d'un global sud qui concernerait, en particulier les noirs de ce pays. On peut aussi penser à l'Italie ou la France, etc... qui ont chez eux des poches de global sud. A l'inverse, ceux qui ont voyagé, sur le continent africain ou en Amérique du Sud, sont parfois surpris des zones d’extrême global nord dans les pays de ces continents.

Partout où il y a un aéroport international, des ports, y compris des ports de plaisance fréquentés , instruments d'intégration de leurs territoires dans la globalisation, le Covid 19 va rapidement se diffuser, compte tenu du R0 - vitesse de contagion- très élevé de ce virus; Et tous les pays qui n'ont pas les moyens de réaliser la séquence: dépister, tester, isoler, masquer, traiter, et éventuellement confiner totalement ou partiellement, vont voir mourir un certain nombre de leurs ressortissants tant que la séquence ci-dessus ne sera pas mis en oeuvre, et auront beaucoup de mal à dé-confiner.

Betche Zachee wrote an excellent article on the topic. Here is a link to the document : http://www.africain.info/geopolitique-des-masques-nouvelle-donne-pour-la-chine-l-occident-et-l-afrique

I do not see any special geo-political, or a healthcare-based, North - South division.

The way I am observing it:

- some countries in the southern hemisphere are testing less,

- underreporting the spread (due to internal-to-their-state socio-politico-economic reasons, dealing with other outbreaks), and/or

- their citizens are not travelling as extensively to the northern hemisphere for temporary work engagements, or pleasure (but, are, rather - permanent immigrants).

merci pour l'article de Betche Zachee

Больше всего пандемия затронула страны, которые меньше всего были к ней готовы.

One thing is very clear to everyone around the globe that is covid-19 knows no one in this world, be it the global north or the south everyone have been affected. If we see it from the perspective of global north then it seem like a biological weapon but south just see it as a deadly virus.

Tnakks @ Mahadi Hasan Miraz for sharing your view

Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz, Of course, SARS was limited at certain region, but it would have been a lesson, which was not taken by the world,

Thank you @ Valeria Tananska. The analysis is justifiable, but , as per tv/online news, some precautionary measures such as lockdown, social distance and use of masks are not implemented seriously. That may reduce severe impacts (?).

COVID -19 is a global pandemic that took the global north by surprise, which they were studying and applying various approaches to contain mainly, use of medical services and social distancing. The global south was learning the unfolding pandemic from the North, and adopted more of social distancing than medical services, because of their limited capacity in health facilities.

For a fairly new virus, the global north was caught by surprise. So they didn't have enough time to contain the virus as people were still moving around. The global south managed to contain the virus by screening the movement of people and shutting down the borders earlier than the global north did. It's for the same reason Ebola virus doesn't reach the global north.

Pandemic and epidomology has direct relation to ecology .

Phisilogy of individuals are resulted the adoption of body with environment. Comparison between north and south spheres shows many different .north sphere are more industrial and hi gh technology however the south sphere that mostly are developing or underdeveloped countries .may one of the scenario is simple life in south sphere less affected by corona virus however the number of mertlet to covid 19 showing this matter .it is just one assumption.

During the crisis, we observed the slowdown of the EU in support of a member country like Italy. Four scenes with profound connotations appeared. The first was the sight of Russian armored vehicles and vehicles patrolling the streets of Italy carrying medical aid and crews. The second is the scene of the Cuban doctors who also arrived in Italy and the tremendous welcome to the doctors of the country that America imposed a decades-old ban imposed on. The fourth is the scene of an Italian citizen landing the European Union flag and raising the Chinese flag instead. I believe that the support of the countries of the European Union for disaster-stricken countries such as Italy and Spain - France is almost catching up with them - was not at the expected level at all .

At least in Latin America, the affection through the virus seems less because there are hardly any tests done, no effective screening, no tracing of chains of infection etc. That could come back at people: with a sudden increase of infected people, people just dying - as is happening in Guayaquil at the moment.

Dear Philipp Altmann, Yaa i agree with you, the only lockdown may not be effective unless there are screening and tests. Many developing countries have the same fate, may be, due to lacking kids or testing facility. In South Asia, the same problems are facing.

I discussed the different approaches governments in China and in western democracies here: Article Smart technologies for fighting Pandemics: The techno and hu...

Best Wishes Rama Kunnitha for your attempt.

Mohammed Torki Bani Salameh, Your instances suggest that the old concept of the global north and south is being changed (Paradigm shift?). Can i make such argument?

No meaningful Global North-South discussions have ever taken place because the South perspectives are deliberately ignored by the North. COVID-19 cannot, therefore, have any significant change in the narratives espoused in the North about the South. The recent speculation by the World Health Organization, for example, that Africa will soon experience more death than any part of the world ignores the reality and power-within, of the South to be the epicenter of innovations and capacity that can conquer the notorious COVID-19 pandemic.

Plus personne ne doute vraiment que si les habitants des pays du continent africain , par exemple, le plus riche continent du sud, décident de prendre leur destin en main, ils trouveront des solutions appropriées aux problèmes auxquels ils sont confrontés.Le plus difficile pour eux ce sera de sortir, plus rapidement qu'il ne le font en ce moment, sur le plan socioculturel, d'abord, de la situation d'hétéronomie dans laquelle, des gens du Nord et une bonne partie de leurs élites les maintiennent. Il en va du traitement de la question du covid 19 comme du traitement de toutes autres questions.

Dear Godard Busingye , Thank you for your analytical and valuable views. Many countries that have well health and education facilities have suffered from COVID-19, and it is a prediction for Africa as you told. However, i agree with you that many changes happened over 2-3 decades in Africa or Global south, and they have also shown their capacity and innovation. It is also true that we are in global era, albeit inequality also persist worldwide. And old perception toward development (under-developed or developed or north or south)may not be appropriate. Such pandemic can be handled through mutual and cooperation. I think so.

If the entire world has now been affected by COVID-19 and the nation poor or rich has no cure other than isolation, then how come one see it as a special perspective of global north and global south?

Thank You Ishtiaq Ahmad for your valuable contribution

The rate of death in the Global North compared to the Global South is suggestive of need to look at yardstick for the measurement or naming of a country as developed or developing nations. If ability to handle health need or provision of health is a yardstick, then many countries in d Global South shld be categorised as developed countries. My point is COVid 19 has brought to the table the need to review the mechanisms used in classification of developed and developing nations. And perhaps to be retrospective of over generalisation of those developed country's developmental indicators - health , education, longevity etc by virtue of this virus incidence

Thank you @ José Nosel for your valuable view.

https://theglobalobservatory.org/2020/03/what-factors-will-decide-fate-global-south-coronavirus-pandemic/

It may initially hit the developed countries but I am sure like other pandemic it will also kill poor mass. Like AIDS it may strat in US but Africa was the most sufferer. Once the developed countries will become normal and stable it will definitely spread in the underdeveloped countries. We have to be ready for that.

Dear Saswatik Tripathy, I only agree with you to the extent that because there is no global world anymore, the developed world will seek, and is in fact doing so, to protect its citizenry within their enclave and neglect the poor people in the so called underdeveloped world. Otherwise, there is no scientific data to show that the poor countries must be hit hard by a disease like COVID-19. COVID-19 is a bio disease, what if it cannot thrive in the conditions in which the poor countries are situate? Will it still hit them hard? The concept of a global world envisaged in 1945, which provided the basis for establishing the World Health Organization, intended to benefit every human being, is no longer valid. Today, a country can withhold its subscription to the organization and cripple its functionality. Fortunately, COVID-19 spread is a function of our behavior, for us in the poor countries the cure lies in sticking to the advice of the scientists, we do not need ventilators.

Thank you Saswatik Tripathy for your important view.

Thank you Godard Busingye for your valuable inputs

Thank you, Rabin, for your sharing

Thank You, Sovit for your illustration.

genes may have a role.

Thank You Alaa Hussein Fadhil.

Thanks for your view@ Ali Abdulhassan Abbas

No way actually. It's a global issue. Some countries failed to diagnose enough due to inadequate facilities. It does not mean they have less cases.

Nice opinion Dear Muhammed Ashraful Alam , Thank you.

La disponibilité des moyens à déterminé la stratégie de traitement du covid 19,dans chaque pays. Certains on appliqué le plan À, avec : dépistages, test, masques, et traitement, les autres, sans masques, sans test, sans traitement, ont appliqué le plan B, avec: confinement général, réanimation et comptage des morts.

Dear José Nosel , thank you for your reply.

In aspects directly related to the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, e.g. in terms of health effects, the situation may be very similar in different regions of the world. However, in terms of the therapeutic therapies used and the standards of health care in health care institutions, the differences may be much greater. The same applies to the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic on the economies of individual countries. The effects of this impact are determined by many factors that determine differences in economies, i.e. different sectoral structures of economies, a different level of production and the use of certain technologies in manufacturing processes, a different level of internationalization and digitization of economic processes, a different state of the state finance system, differences in the level of debt of the system state finances, etc., there are many differentiating factors that determine other economic effects of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic in individual countries and in individual economic regions of the world.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

As soon as he pandemic is on its outbreak, I would suggest that people of the North part of the globe travel more frequent than those of the South, that make the spreading even faster.

Best regards

Mhd. Syahnan

Thank you Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz . It is a interesting argument from the economic point of view. Best Wishes

Dear Mhd. Syahnan , I agree with your view. However, recently the pandemic has been spread faster in the south as what the north faced in the beggining. We can see South America or South Asia. What you say in this regard?

Best Wishes

Thank you Hermann Gruenwald.
