When there are large amounts of people in a country or many countries that are affected by an outbreak, the government has to handle the situation in attempt to limit the spread of these infections. When dealing with a health emergency, the government defines and sets the standard for what a health emergency is. They must also pass laws that will regulate how outbreaks of diseases are dealt with and how the repercussions of the outbreak will be resolved. The legislation in place must change over time as the outbreaks occur because each outbreak will be different and must be handled in a different way depending on the severity and people affected. This requires different methods of law enforcement to ensure that the public health emergency is properly handled.
Over time as the outbreaks occur, laws are modified or passed to better assist countries and people that are affected by a health emergency. To deal with an outbreak in a relatively orderly fashion, government intervention is necessary to maintain consistent care to the affected and to regulate the spread of the outbreak. When regulating these emergencies and passing laws that will declare how to regulate them, the government must take into consideration who these laws will impact and whether the laws will always be beneficial to the victims of the outbreak. It is important that the government’s actions to help the affected areas are based on good intentions and that laws regarding health emergencies are improved whenever needed. The government policies that are followed when outbreaks of viruses and infections occur must be followed strictly to control the spread and eventually end it. The laws that the government passes successfully handle outbreaks and equally consider all victims of the public health emergency. There have been outbreaks in the past like Ebola and now the Zika virus and the government’s actions have worked to contain them and assist all the people that have been affected by them.
Bias in Legislation: The government’s responses to every issue or outbreak are not always equal. There can be times where the government’s laws and legislation pay more attention to certain areas where an issue is occurring or certain aspects of an issue. Over time as outbreaks occur, it is not necessary that the government will change laws to better fit the situation. They might change their interpretation but that does not mean that it is unbiased. The government has to take all people into consideration when determining how to deal with different types of health emergencies, and this is not always the case.
Government and Media: The government can equally respond to each area affected by a public health emergency or epidemic, but it is not guaranteed that they will. They might seem like they are because of their attempt to appeal to many different groups and organizations but that is just for their own benefit. Everything that the government does is usually covered in the media and can affect how the government handles situations. Issues that are more popular or have more public support behind them are more likely to gain government support as well. The media can be important in the role of increasing how much the government is involved in an issue.
