Ecological Sustainability of Mitigation Deal with the Surge of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Other Pandemics

M. D. D. Maharani

Abstract

Pandemic interventions rarely contain clear statements about potentially conflicting interventions of ecological mitigation policy priorities. Ecological mitigation policies are not as popular as economic policies. Ecological Sustainability of Mitigation of handling the COVID-19 pandemic surge and other pandemics can be achieved using various interventions to reduce transmission. Interventions can reduce the impact of an outbreak and buy time until vaccines are developed. This paper aims to formulate an ecological sustainability index of mitigation Deal with the Surge of The Covid-19 Pandemic and Other Pandemics. We use the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). The DPSIR framework aims to inventory ecological components in mitigation. MDS method to calculate ecological sustainability index and generate leverage attributes. The results found an ecological sustainability index of 74.67%. The attribute of leverage are: (i) Improving Echo-Ethics (introducing complex ethical challenges) for Researchers, Lecturers, Governments introduces complex ecology ethical challenges with an RMS value of 2.98; (ii) The urgent need for COVID-19 research with an RMS value of 2.94; and (iii) One-Health with an RMS value of 2.90. Echo_Ethics and One-Health is an integrated health concept that upholds ecological ethics by paying attention to the sources of interrelated transmission between humans, animals, and plants. The interaction of living things and pathogens with their living environment (bio-ecology) can help explain the priorities of potentially conflicting interventions in society. The disease incidence is the result of interactions between virulent pathogens, living things as vulnerable hosts, and ecological factors.
