The COVID-19 pandemic has effectively put the world on pause, apart from a number of key sectors including healthcare, food manufacturing and retail along with policing and security.
However, one sector of society that has not shut down is our government and public sector agencies. The public are facing a crisis of compromised health, confidence and their financial and mental well-being.
Meanwhile, our healthcare services and national governments are dealing with a public health crisis not seen in our lifetime.
The World Has Changed for Citizens
So how does the rest of our public sector and government departments respond and what can they do? The first thing is to think about how this crisis is affecting the public?
There is Only One Conversation Happening Right Now
Here are the most talked about topics around coronavirus and COVID-19 in Ireland right now. Can you see how important ‘communication’ is, in the word cloud below?
With no pharmaceutical intervention to stop, cure or vaccinate against the spread of this novel virus, we are left with the power of communication and the resolve and resilience of people.
So why aren’t people getting the message after solid weeks of daily updates from national health and governments?
The human race is imperfect, the messages will be lost amidst fake news and scaremongering and the opportunists will take advantage.
