We'd have no one to blame for COVID-19 if we had a worldwide medical blockchain
The big news in the fight against COVID-19 this past week was the huge ramp-up — not in testing. In the blame game. And in competing points-of-view about who controls our return to work.
Politics has infused both discussions, of course. At a time when we need a worldwide commitment to decentralize medical information and put it on the blockchain.
It was China’s fault. They weren’t transparent. It was the World Health Organization’s fault. They missed the call. It was the U.S. Government’s fault. They didn’t move early enough when the signs were clearly there. It was each individual state’s fault. They should have prepared a backlog of remediation supplies for an inevitable result like this one. Nonsense. All of it. Central authorities do and say whatever it takes to remain in charge. We should know that.
As for when we return to work, that’s going to take a vaccine. Or effective treatments to reduce the severity of the illness. Or enough exposure that there is some degree of herd immunity. Or when the President throws the light switch. Or phased in as Governors say the medical data supports it. Ridiculous. No one has the right to tell people it’s time to risk their lives, and many will distance themselves, avoid surfaces, and eliminate unnecessary trips for a long time after the “all clear” whistle sounds (if there ever is one).
This is not something central governments do well
As we look ahead, we have to prepare ourselves for what will be, in the short term at least, more aggressive and ubiquitous testing, testing, testing for symptoms and immunity. And we must become accustomed to a prolonged period — possibly a year or more — where distancing initiatives, face coverings, and smaller gatherings become the norm. But what we needn’t accept is the notion that central authorities control any of the rest of it.
When you come right down to it, WE are to blame. All of us across the world. For tolerating a worldwide medical scenario that keeps data and information privately held, controlled, and released. It’s making us sick and is killing us by the thousands. As citizens, we must demand that our governments commit to a blockchain medical database that reveals vital information to medical professionals whether our presidents, premiers, crown princes, chancellors, chairmen or chairwomen want it revealed or not, but still anonymizes the information to keep my personal details private. We need to stop pointing fingers. Let’s commit to a more transparent and trustworthy future that takes decision-makers out of the process.
Testing results must be decentralized, too
As for testing, we should be happy there is broad embrace for testing. Some are predicting we might be tested daily or even multiple times through the day as we go about trying to restart our lives. For certain kinds of needs in certain instances, it might be more economical and quicker to store and access infection status through an app linked to a blockchain record. That information could be broadly shared and broadly analyzed, while still keeping details hidden.
The bottom line is we need data solutions that benefit the individual. And benefit the business adjudging your fitness to enter or to work. But more importantly, we need solutions that benefit all of us. ALL OF US. We have to stop talking about China, or world bodies, or our own central government, because doing that wastes time we should be using to talk about the future.
