PPE manufacturing firms
The type of firms that should quickly transition to PPE manufacturing includes online delivery firms such as Amazon, air travel industry, dentists, restaurants, and beauty firms. Online delivery firms need to have a high level of hygiene for the workers and protect customers from packages that can be contaminated with the covid-19 virus. Therefore, online delivery firms should transition to the manufacturing of PPEs to ensure that their workers have quality masks, gloves and goggles while in any location around the world (Javorcik, 2020).
Firms such as travel firms, beauty firms, and restaurants, need to show a high transition in the manufacturing and use of PPEs because they have a high level of interaction with people; thus, they PPEs will be necessary to protect the workers and the customers.
Travel, entertainment, or leisure activities that are ideally suited for PPE loaded high-priced offerings
The travel, entertainment or leisure activities ideally suited for PPE loaded high-priced offerings include the first-class air travel, movie theatre, and higher-end gym activities. High-end activities can be charged highly for PPEs for safety and profitability. Additionally, in high-end travel, entertainment or leisure activities requires a high-quality supply of PPEs for the employees and customers; thus, they should be high-priced.
Possible public equipment for home transitions
Some possible public equipment for home transition includes gym equipment that can be rented or bought for use at home. Barber and salon equipment can be bought for use at home to ensure that kids and adults hair remains neat during the pandemic and to prevent the contracting of the virus in public barbers or salons (Leonard, 2020). Some leisure activities equipment such as skating boards, cycling, and horseback riding can also be transitioned for use at home to avoid public leisure activities.
Businesses that once equipped with PPE could and should easily restart
Businesses such as gyms, beauty salons, and the travel industry can resume easily if they are well equipped with PPEs. These businesses only require the supply and monitoring of the use of high-quality PPEs for all the employees and the customers. Besides, thorough cleaning and fumigation should be mandatory and be done frequently in these facilities. Beauty salon and barbershops will only need PPEs that allow the hair to be cut. It is not complicated to make PPEs that are off the hair. Manicures and will not have a problem if the service provider and the customer have the necessary PPE.
Although so my people are employed, it is not possible to employ all of them to make the required PPEs. First, not every unemployed person has the knowledge to make the PPEs; thus, it would not be sensible to employ someone without the knowledge to make such essential items. Secondly, there are set medical standards that all PPEs should meet to guarantee safety for the users. Therefore, only those who can meet the set standards can be employed to make the PPEs (Javorcik, 2020). Finally, there has been a shortage of materials that manufacture PPEs; therefore, countries can employ people based on the availability of materials.
Putting people back to work rebuilding our infrastructure in safe conditions
Keeping people at home and given them, money for upkeep is a short-term solution, but the country needs a long-term solution. It is advisable to put back the majority of the unemployed people to work in rebuilding the infrastructure that is falling apart like it was done in the depression era. In this case, the government need to provide people with the necessary protective equipment and monitor them to ensure there is social distancing, and that all measures to prevent the spread of the virus are maintained (Javorcik, 2020). Deploying people in construction areas with PPEs is safe, and will save cost that the government is incurring in giving money for people to remain at home.
