Who would YOU call on to make a heroic effort during a pandemic?
In this week's episode, Ember designed her own crisis networking solution. She asked ALL of the doctors in China to log into an emergency website to help run virtual Pearl River Flu clinics -- to answer medical questions from faraway patients, and analyze patient photos taken on mobile phones.
Ember's solution was an ideal emergency call to action. Why? Because:
- It's an easy-to-accomplish task,
- in a short amount of time
- that doctors already know how to do.
Ember played to the doctor's strengths -- and helped amplify their ability to help with an online network.
Not everyone has medical training. But everyone has a part to play during a crisis.
Your mission this week: Design an emergency call to action for a NON-medical community. Who else could log in and make a heroic effort during a pandemic outbreak?
Be creative: What could non-doctors do online during a pandemic to help? It can be anyone -- teachers, cooks, artists. Who else can you imagine saving the day during a pandemic?
Your objective:
It's the year 2011, and the next pandemic flu has just reached YOUR part of the world. You've been asked to organize one group of people online to do something that matters. Who are they, and what heroic effort will you ask them to make? Tell a story in a video or blog post about the crisis networking solution YOU devise.
This objective is worth +15 resourcefulness.

I would call on my mom because then we could alert the president and more important people about the crisis like doctors and scientists.

I would get a group of highly trained doctors from the CDC and the mayo clinic to help figure out a way to stop the pandemic.

I would create a "safe zone" where only healthy people could live while they try to find the cure.

I would round up the amazing scientists of the time to help cure the pandemic. If they would succeed they would wipe it out, so the remaing lives would be saved. If they fail though they could keep the flu contained to allow the others some extra life.

All of the engineers in the city, be it electrical, civil, industrial, mechanical, etc. would be of great use during the pandemic. They would be able to build temporary clinics for all of the infected, so the uninfected would not get infected because those affected by the virus would no longer have to go to clinics in the crowded areas of town.

I would set up mandatory stations everywhere where people have to get a flu shot once every certain period of time. I would gather all of the best biologists and discuss the best way to protect our people from the disease, then communicate with the citizens about what to do.
