The
coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has killed more than a million people in the
world since its emergence in late 2019. There have been significant differences
in public policies, particularly policies to diagnose COVID-19, between
countries. Until vaccines are made available across countries, there were a few
preventive policies for understanding the routes and timings of the pandemic
transmission; contact tracing, quarantine, and physical distancing. In this
paper, we examine the sources of strength and health resilience that explain
the differences in COVID-19 performance between countries, in the last 2 years.
The health control mechanism is driven by stringency and testing capacities,
which can only be evaluated by digital
means and databases, and the health treatment abilities, which are
encapsulated in its trained set of health professionals, and health education
of its population.
The idea that the
paper puts forward is that in terms of testing capacity, the two characteristics
that are needed is 1-the fastest transmission from highest to lowest positivity
rate (identification-containment-isolation) and 2-identifying growing clusters.
The measure we capture this is looking at the range of maximum to minimum
positivity, and also the speed of spreading/surveying in the testing capacity
after it has reached the minimum positivity/maximum positivity, which gives us
a measure of how effectively the testing system is used in order for the disease
to stay under the limits of the health system. The ability to create a short
range means that the testing system is created in a utilitarian way, used to
identify the growing epidemic, and controlling the level of the growth.
