COVID-19 IMPACT ON ENGINEERING, ENGINEERS


ENGINEERS LIKE FACTS AND SEEK CREDIBLE INFORMATION SOURCES ON COVID-19
(CORONAVIRUS) EFFECTS TO THE ENGINEERING-RELATED WORLD. ENGINEERS ALSO HAVE
TECHNOLOGIES, PROCESSES AND EXPERT ADVICE THAT CAN HELP. SEE CONTROL ENGINEERING
HIGHLIGHTS.

Engineers have technologies that can help with responses to COVID-19
(Coronavirus) effects, and CFE Media and Technology websites (Control
Engineering, Plant Engineering, Consulting-Specifying Engineer and Oil & Gas
Engineering) includes a section with updates on coronavirus impacts on engineers
and a related newsletter.

On March 12, the sites also launched a survey to learn more about impact on
business, company responses, remote work and operations, supply chain, travel,
user group and trade show impacts, future impacts of similar challenges and
government strategies by country.




Control Engineering coronavirus coverage to date includes articles on use of
coronavirus for malware attack, manufacturing production information,
coronavirus preparations, role of the supply chain, National Safety Council
update, 3D coronavirus roadmap, the delay of Hannover Messe until July and more.
The CFE Media and Technology Marketing to Engineers event on April 27 in Chicago
has been moved online.

As an engineering-minded observer, I’m aware of and concerned about wide-spread
lack of appreciation for fact-based information. A lot of new information is
available daily. Some of it, from sources that should be credible, turn out to
be incorrect or misleading. I believe engineers are highly discerning consumers
of information, with carefully tuned abilities to seek and encourage use of
multiple, credible sources to validate what’s presented without falling prey to
clickbait that can increase cybersecurity risk.


THREE COVID-19 POINTS



Just as the virus’ potential for exponential growth without appropriate
mitigation, so has available information about COVID-19. Three notes of
appreciation follow.

 * Companies, governments, and groups have employed policies and technologies
   for remote monitoring, meetings, measurements, learning, and controls to
   promote social distancing needed to slow the spread and not overload
   healthcare facilities. No one wants to hear that their ill or elderly loved
   ones were on the wrong end of a triage decision where healthcare is beyond
   capacity. We can all do our part to change the infection curve and explain to
   others the irrefutable math behind it.
 * U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fast-tracked approvals to more
   quickly expand COVID-19 test capacity (mistakenly initially portrayed as
   widely available). Countries with widespread testing have had better outcomes
   in limiting spikes in infection rates to better distribute healthcare
   resources.
 * “Flu and COVID-19: Similar symptoms, different fears,” a March 11 Associated
   Press article by Marilynn Marchione, AP chief medical writer, in the Daily
   Herald (Paddock Publications), included the three critical sentences. “But to
   public health experts, the huge number of flu deaths is exactly why
   extraordinary steps should be taken to try to prevent the new coronavirus
   from spreading widely. The flu’s annual return can’t be stopped because it’s
   already so embedded in the population. There is still a chance COVID-19 cases
   can be limited or spread slowed while treatments are developed.”

We all need to think again about how technologies and science-based critical
thinking can spread compassion and wisdom more quickly than hysteria and
misinformation.
