South Korean government's handling of the MERS virus outbreak in June 2015

06/08/2015

By not notifying hospitals of the known cases of MERS, as patients who could not get diagnosed moved to larger hospitals, including Samsung Hospital in Seoul, the government let the MERS virus spread to many crowded hospital locations. Doctors at smaller hospitals with no knowledge of the virus could not diagnose correctly. No one knew the first patient had even been to Saudi Arabia, as the patient had not disclosed this.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
