Last week, we’ve been discussing on the COVID-19 issues. Me and Dr Shawal. Dr Shawaludin Husin is one of reputable Occupational Health Doctor in Malaysia – he called me and discussed about future OSH talk at MSOSH HQ. He wanted me to share on the Emergency Response strategy to industry practitioners in responding to this newly declared “pandemic” COVID-19. At first – I was reluctant to be in the crowd and share about this “so called disease / viruses” as I’m only loved to talk about occupational ERP and household ERP. For info – I’m only a researcher that yet to have his own article – own thesis – own novelty research in “Disaster Response”. And he kept encouraged – to share the concept of ERP.
Since there will be more public program to be cancelled. I’m still finding a spotlight to share something about emergency response – and not a pandemics response! … Dr Shawal add, “this is the time” to stand and share – the concept is similar.
As i was searching for journal for my research. (My research is in NATECH – Natural Disaster that cascading to Technological Disaster). I was thinking – a few read – diverted from the research – can’t do much damage. (as you know – PhD is “Partially Head Damage”). Ye lah, if I want to take the challenge, I need to share something.
The paper, you can download it at my page under “OSH Training” title: 1918 Influenza: The mother of
all pandemics.
Read it, this paper got 913 citations and some considered Highly Influenced Papers!
What more to worried – this paper quote – if there is emerging pandemic (like now – COVID-19) – we will see more deaths!
Please ignore the rebonding style – it’s 2016 picture!
Thanks for reading this blog – if you looking for OHD course, Dr Shawal is the right person … ERP, you can consider me if there is no one to quote!
Stay safe – cheers
