    1) The document discusses why COVID-19 became a global pandemic, noting that many infected people show mild or no symptoms, acting as "silent spreaders" allowing for rapid transmission. 2) Failures by governments to take early preventative action, like restricting travel from affected areas, underestimating the virus, and not following expert advice, exacerbated the situation. 3) In the Philippines specifically, negligence and mishandling by the government, like allowing Chinese workers to enter and not implementing mass testing early on, contributed to COVID-19 becoming a full-blown crisis in the country.

    Pineda, John Patrick 
    Contemporary world

    Considering the advances in modern medicine, especially epidemiology, as well
    as the scale of global cooperation in the realm of public health and disease
    prevention, why do you think we have failed in stopping COVID-19 from
    becoming a full-blown pandemic? How should we prepare for the next new
    disease to become widespread again? To answer that question, let us know first
    what is Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) and how it actually spreads. COVID-19 is an
    infectious disease caused by Coronavirus, SARS-Cov-2, Which is an Respiratory
    pathogen Originated or First Discovered in Wuhan,China. It can be transmitted
    through droplets of saliva or discharge from nose when an infected person
    sneeze or cough. Since CoronaVirus is like a simple cold many people does not
    take it seriously when it started and that where the real problem start, because
    Scientists says the Coronavirus spreads so quickly because many people do not
    know they have it, since many of the infected people show mild symptoms or no
    symptoms at all, or what the Scientists called “silent spreaders“....
    (Shaman,2020) and that is the reason why the reason the Coronavirus become
    a Global Pandemic and adding some negligence of the other people on
    practicing the basic safety protocol for COVID-19 that is also the reason why we
    have failed stoping COVID-19 becoming full blown pandemic not because we
    don't have enough resources or knowledge its just simply coronavirus symptoms
    are far to simple to be recognize and most the people just ignored it and did not
    bother to take test or consult medical professionals. Like what happened here in
    the philippines, we have many chances to prevent COVID-19 to enter our country
    but the Negligence and ignorance of our Government especially the malacañang
    people underestimating the pandemic that it can cause havoc,he insisted
    allowing chinese workers to enter our country even though COVID-19 is
    Spreading while our neighbouring countries lockdown or implied travel bans
    coming from china, because the malacañang said that that they don't want to
    offend China. And what do we expect ? by mid-march, Philippines became the
    first country other than China to record ​a ​COVID-19  death  outside Mainland, 
    and  the  Philippines  response  to  COVID-19  is  a  tragedy  of  errors, 
    because  the  of  Government  failed  plan  and  strategies  by  implying 
    military  aid  and  action  to  solve  global  health  crisis?  Really  ?  and  Even 
    the  department  of  health  saying  that  “  No  need  for  mass  testing  “.  we 
    have  failed  stopping  COVID-19  in  become  a  full  blown  pandemic  here 
    our  country  because  of  the  negligence  and  mishandling  of  our 
    government.  So  for  me  even though we have ground breaking medical 
    advances  and  breakthroughs  if  we  do  not have common sense none of 
    that  will  work  and  all  of  the  hard  work  of  medical  professionals  will  be 
    just  wasted.  In  order  to  be prepared to the next new disease ​widespread
    again? We need to have good preventive measures, and Leaders and citizens
    needs to listen in one another and learn to listen on medical professionals don’t
    be naive just like our president. Use our common sense to avoid negligence
    resulting to a tragedy or crisis,because personally i think philippines can handle
    the fight for COVID-19 if we have listen to the medical professionals and we take
    preventive measures earlier its just we are too reliant to other countries on
    helping us. And we need be more careful and take precautionary measures when
    we feel some thing is wrong with us seek professional help and trust the and let
    them do their job.
