Reopen the World to combat COVID with a spirit of Laissez-faire

Many analysts are predicting that in this decade (2021 to 2030), there will be only 2 types of humans, vaccinated and unvaccinated. Based on the learnings from the last 18 months, let’s accept the reality that 100% COVID free World is a pipe dream. It is a high time – global economists, local government, health experts need to have honest conversations with their own people on the below:

1) What are the targets of COVID-19 vaccination?

- What % of population should be fully vaccinated?

-?Is there any Booster plan?

2) What about Unvaccinated population?

3) How the COVID-19 (pandemic) will end?

4) How to reopen the Economy and Global Travel?

I am using below simple matrix to do an assessment and proposing gradual movement of Government’s direction from ‘Practical Zone’ to ‘Ideal Zone’.

What Global Travelers can hope for:

·????????Reopen the World with Heart, Soul and Mind! No ‘Protectionist’ steps please.?

·????????Greater participation of citizen on Government’s Vaccination Program

·????????Announcement for a gradual removal of Global Travel Ban and resume international flights by Christmas 2021. This will boost international trust and confidence on the success of Global Vaccine Programs.

·????????Digital Global Vaccine Passport with Quarantine-free international travel.

·????????Global common standard of ‘Safe Travel’ categorization of Every Country on RAG (Red, Amber and Green) Status.

While the World has witnessed the dark side of COVID as an inhibitor of human life and endeavor, the same virus may turn out to be a catalyst in uniting the world, supported by right policies and a generous dose of Laissez-faire’.
