What is the coronavirus?

 

 

 

You have been hired by President Trump to control the coronavirus pandemic. He has given you broad authority to implement any policies/programs that you think would minimize the spread of the disease and, of course, reduce the number of Americans dying from the virus to the absolute minimum.

Please write a 4/5-page paper, using some of the concepts we learned in this class, detailing exactly how you would accomplish reducing the number of people who not only contract Covid-19, but for those who do, how you would reduce the severity of disease and lower death rates.

Some things you might want to mention:

– what is the coronavirus?

– what are typical symptoms?

– who is most at risk of becoming seriously ill or dying?

– how can the spread of coronavirus be minimized?

– would you focus your resources the same across the nation or would you focus on certain areas of the country?

– what agencies (federal, state, local) would you include in your response efforts?

– would you try anything new? Think outside the box?

Sample Solution

What is the coronavirus?

Coronavirus disease [Covid-19] is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the Covid-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness and even death. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the Covid-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands regularly using sanitizers, and public distance. Hard-won experience, changing demographics and reducing strain on hospitals can reduce the number of people dying from the virus. WHO is one of the agencies which is leading and coordinating the global effort, supporting countries to prevent, detect, and respond to the pandemic.

  • Poor Performance: 40% of the revenues are coming from India and not from UK or US. Due to Economic conditions in Europe and Brexit, performance has been poor in the home country.
  • Loss of Market Share in USA: Verizon and AT&T both are leading companies in USA and thus Vodafone not providing premium services is making it lack behind.
  • Loss of Subscribers: In the last 4 years there have been rise of other service providers around the globe and Vodafone is losing subscriber base, so they need to implement different strategies and strengthen its core values to acquire more customers.

OPPORTUNITIES:

  • Network Coverage: In 2016 India Vodafone came out with a mobile phone app which showed the network coverage and also help customers to find and report any problems that are being occurred.
  • 4G/5G – 4G has caused disruption but at same time it gave people to look for the best network operators’ once again. Vodafone struggled to attract more customer for their services but now once again they have got chance as 5G spectrum has started taking and place if Vodafone comes up to be the first company to introduce 5G in UK it will benefit.

THREATS:

  • Competition: The major problem for Vodafone is the competition from everyone else. Main competitors taking over are Three and EE.
  • Saturation: Brand spending more on customer acquisition and getting lesser customer for the same amount, this is because of the competition in the market.
  • Low Margins: Too much competition resulting in marginal loss because revenues generated has been dropping for all the brands in last 2-3 years.
  • Phone Number Portability: If any other company introduces any other plans which are cheaper or with more consumption allowance, customers change/port their phone numbers to other brands because of which Vodafone is losing its brand equity.
