Dear Zakaria Elkhwesky, it is a crucial question, especially for countries that live on tourism such as Italy. The impression is that nobody expected to be overwhelmed by an emergency of this magnitude. We need a uniform response from whole public authorities and citizens. We have the opportunity to implement effective crisis management and at the same time to ensure business continuity, especially in those sectors which are strategic for the country's economy. All this is not happening. Primarily due to the high uncertainty that is not allowing policymakers to have a clear view of the actions to be taken in the very short term; soon we will see the effects on the real economy. Thanks Regards

Dear Zakaria Elkhwesky ,

excellent question... Why they didn't implement it? I will give answers which I believe are realistic and applicable to real life situation

- they don't know how

- they 'bury head in a sand' and pray that this will stop quickly

- they don't think that these strategies are applicable to them or their business

- they don't believe in the proposed strategies

- they don't have the willpower, know-how or resources to apply proposed measures

regards,

STAY SAFE!

All organizations had a set of plans, but they did not realize the scale of the disaster

Dear Zakaria Elkhwesky,

The protocols you mentioned take time to activate as all the requirements of existing citizens as well as the tourists residing have to be taken into consideration, as they are prime responsibility of the nation, furthermore the strategies to be implemented are mere framework which have to be further modified as to fit current situation and that processing time is what you misunderstood as lag in decision making.

Hope this helps 😊.

I think that most of the crisis management strategies are ink on paper, just like many other things that need a practical reality to test it

Thanks all professors for your opinions
