Ghana is now becoming a nation in which a wealthy and politically well-connected few, destroy forests, in fulfillment of their greedy ambitions. Yet, we are also aware that forest-loss, invariably results in an increase in zoomatic diseases. What an odd lot? Perhaps.

The question is: As an aspirational people, what should we do, to enable us plan effectively, and efficiently, strategically, so that we can, more or less, permanently, live with COVID-19, instead of allowing it to destroy our national economy, through repeated lockdowns?

For example, instead of Veronica buckets, and tissue paper, can the government not incentivise local manufacturers, to produce off-grid stand-alone solar-powerd (with back-up batteries) barrel-type wash-stations, with sensor-activated automatically-dispensed water, for hand-washing, and hot air, for hand-drying, nationwide, through the use of tax incentives?

And, for institutions such as banks, schools, supermarkets, as well as other large office buildings, which are regularly visited by large numbers of people, if the government gave tax breaks to local manufactureestate, which produce airport-style-security walk-through-arches, which spray disinfectants, would that also not help check the spread of COVID-19, in Ghana?

Above all, we must ban spitting in public places, and provide base-of-the-pyramied demographic's youth, with green economy opportunities, such as growing industrial hemp to produce flax cloth, building blocks and vehicle dashboards.

Finally, we must be brutally frank: The spike in Ghana's active COVID-19 case count, results, directly, from the massive December 2020 election campaign rallies, which were super-spreader-events. Let us call spades, spades. Haaba.
