1)Who are the people involved in this scenario?
  • GET-GLOBAL EMERGENCY TRANSPORT
  • THE FLOOD TRANSPORTERS
  • RESEARCHERS OF WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION
  • VICTIMS OF THE VIRUS
  • RESEARCHERS OF SWITZERLAND
 2)What are their roles?
  • GLOBAL EMERGENCY TRANSPORT-ITS ROLE IS TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE WHO AND THE RED CROSS TO RESPOND IMMEDIATELY YO NATURAL DISASTERS,PROVIDING SEARCH AND RESCUE,EVACUATION,AND RELOCATION FOR VICTIMS.
  • RESEARCHERS OF SWITZERLAND-THEY HAVE FOUND A ANTI-VIRAL MEDICATION CALLED XIFAN,DESIGNED TO TREAT SEVERE CASES OF INFLUENZA.
  • VICTIMS OF THE VIRUS-THEY INITIALLY SUFFER FROM AN ARRAY OF FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS:COUGH,HEADACHES,FEVER,SHORTNESS OF BREATH,BODY ACHES,AND DIARRHEA.WITHIN TWO WEEKS,MANY VICTIMS DEVELOP PNEUMONIA AND CAN RESULT IN ORGAN FAILURE.
  • FLOOD TRANSPORTERS-THEY HELP OUT AFTER THE FLOOD.THEY HAVE RESPONDED FOR CLEAN-UP AND RESCUE OF THE AFFECTED AREAS AND VICTIMS.
  • RESEARCHERS OF WHO-THEY WANT TO FIND MEDICATION THAT MAY SLOW THE VIRUS AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE VIRUS. 
   3)IDENTIFY THE KEY PROBLEMS
I)THERE IS POOR SANIATION,CROWDED SHELTERS,AND MINIMAL HEALTH CARE WHICH HAS INCREASED THE SPREADING OF THE VIRUS.
II)OVER 300 FLOOD RESPONDERS,INCLUDING SEVERAL GET PILOTS SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE BLUE NILE VIRUS.
III)AS XIFAN IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN TAKEN WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE APPEARANCE OF SYMPTOMS AND BLUE NILE IS DIFFICULTTO DIFFERENTIATE FROM THE FLU IN ITS EARLY STAGES,DOCTORS ARE HESITANT TO USE THE PRECIOUS MEDICATION.

4)SOLUTIONS FOR EACH OF THE PROBLEMS
I)MORE DOCTORS SHOULD BE SENT TO THESE AFFECTED AREAS,MORE PEOPLE ARE ALSO NEEDED TO CONSTRUCT TEMPORARY HOMES FOR THIS VICTIMS TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM OF POOR SANITATION,CROWDED SHELTERS AND MINIMAL HEALTHCARE.
II)THE FLOOD RESPONDERS AND GET PILOTS SHOULD BE VACCINATED FIRST BEFORE THE CHOOSE TO CONTINUE HELPING.
III)MORE MONEY,SCIENTISTS AND EFFORT CAN BE INVESTED IN A PROJECT FOR A VACCINE FOR THE VIRUS WHICH COULD SAVE MANY LIVES AND ALSO PREVENT A PANDEMIC.
