Fatigue Puts U.S. Businesses at Risk of New COVID Wave, Advises SaferMe
AUSTIN, Texas - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
As European countries see an increase in their COVID infections, providing an early indication of what is potentially on its way to the USA, SaferMe, a leading pandemic readiness company, is recommending that local businesses review their pandemic readiness plans in the face of a potential winter surge of the virus.
The European Centre For Disease Prevention and Control has stated that it has begun "seeing indicators rising again in Europe, suggesting that another wave of infections has begun." Pooled COVID data up to the end of week 40, 2022 (the week ending Oct. 13), in Europe showed "widespread increases were being observed in all indicators, with one third of EU/EEA countries reporting increases in COVID-19 deaths."
"What is concerning is that many U.S companies are developing COVID fatigue and are becoming complacent with their planning, despite growing health indicators in Europe. It is just good business continuity protocol to ensure that pandemic plans are always up to date," says Clint Van Marrewijk, CEO and founder of SaferMe. "Companies that rely on outdated historic pandemic plans or adopt a wait-and-see approach are potentially jeopardizing business operations, supply chains, and jobs."
Additionally, America will also be heading into its flu season. "Irrespective of the pandemic type or its magnitude, now is the time for businesses to take the responsible steps to be prepared for all types of pandemic eventualities. Companies that are well prepared can avoid complete lockdowns. We have had some bitter lessons in what not being adequately prepared means. Businesses have a duty of care to look after their employees and all visitors on company premises," adds Van Marrewijk.
To mitigate against the impact of poor pandemic planning, SaferMe recommends that companies develop an integrated response, which can be activated within 48 hours of a virus risk surpassing the company's risk tolerance. The following steps will help companies achieve this:
- Monitoring health developments inside their business as well as up and down their supply chain and the environment in which they are located
- Contacting partners, suppliers and customers to ensure that they have up-to-date pandemic plans
- Avoiding "siloed" pandemic plans that exist in isolation. Instead, incorporate an integrated pandemic plan into the company's business continuity planning
- Pre-approving response systems, such as technology, that can confirm which employees have been in contact with each other (only when needed). This information is derived from second-generation contact tracing, which makes the old-fashioned phone tree systems completely obsolete — these must be removed from all plans
- Develop a virus toolkit that exist in a state of readiness and can be activated at a moment's notice. The toolkits must contain personal protective equipment, a supply of hygiene supplies such as hand sanitizers, an automated contact-tracing system, and company-wide health-check ability.

HTC VIVE Partners With Imversed Enabling Avatars for Sake of Vtubers’ Economy
Thousands of metaverses have emerged a year after the world discovered the concept of the metaverse. Today, the avatar user experience in a metaverse is still far from that of gaming, in both movements and visualisations. Little breakthroughs have managed in the metaverse visual experience, however, in sight of the long-term growth of Web 3.0, avatars are looking to grow into capitalised money trees for users. An avatar will be able to have a fanbase, its own music and videos, its own ancillary products, and even have its rights commercially represented and managed. This requires levels of technical support that most metaverse systems are just not there yet.
HTC VIVE has brought some exciting breakthroughs in the part they play, integrating the latest avatar technology with Imversed quick release NFT technology. On top of this, VIVE recently upgraded the use of facial and motion tracking technologies to improve user experience, enabling avatars in metaverses to have body movements and facial expressions, intended to integrate interactive engagements with the immersion of reality with the virtual in an instant integrated interaction, so that avatars can behave like a real person would. Synchronized imaging technology that is used also gives avatars freedom to take photos and selfies anywhere anytime in any-verse. Trekking to outer space, other planets, deep sea, or show up in various movie scenes, and capture moments of virtual travel and track memories, even recording the travel journeys, then mixing or editing together the content to share on their social media platforms will become a norm. Avatars can grow influence by gaining followers and make hot new topics or trends like any current 2D influencer. There are already influencers and celebrities building up their virtual self making it into an intellectual property to profit from and its nowadays not uncommon to gossip about celebrities such as Bruce Willis using DeepFake.
Talks of avatars interacting with real humans in the real world, and even perform without time and space restrictions, can now be done by a person's endorsed avatar identity in Imversed XR-Land brought into reality by using AR tools via projections creating a new type of Vtuber, this is what we had seen in the past in many superhero movies. Imagine further, where Vtubers with fanbases using the Imversed XR-Land to NFT minting function to distribute NFT digital assets, will be rolling the dollars in whilst the user in flesh is asleep at night. Limitations of the interactions between virtual reality IPs and the reality are now gone as Vtubers can interact with their fans, and a larger Web 3.0 asset empire and a scaled revenue system can generate continual income.
In 2023, tech brands are wanting to be releasing AR glasses. If so, XR-Land technology will catapult in its value bringing the avatar economy to a whole new level. Much of this technology will be available for public demonstration from this November onwards making it the right time to get started particularly with Viverse, which is currently the biggest industry partner of Imversed XR-Land, and this partnership soon will join forces also with popular gaming companies. The joint ventures makes Viverse readily available now to create personalized avatars. People of all ages should be ready to take part in this new wave of revenue stream from a personalized avatar no matter where and which verse or universe they are in at in any point in time. Creating and owning an Avatar with its own story and generating a personalized income in the expanding metaverse economy is hot the new trendy way to enrich an integrated virtual in reality lifestyle.
