ASC Research (Pty) Ltd, an internationally GLP accredited agricultural research and development company in South Africa, has taken preventative measures for the purpose of keeping healthy employees healthy by adopting company policies implementing voluntary self isolating measures.
We do not pretend to be specialists in human biology or the epidemiology of any human pathogen and the spread thereof. We are however specialists in agricultural disease and pest epidemiology.
It would be naïve to evaluate the risk of any disease, known and unknown, current and future outbreaks, in isolation, separate from each other, without considering the cumulative effect of such pathogens and mutations on each other and their hosts. We are worried, as in agriculture, about the cumulative effects of infectious disease on human populations as the risk to human health greatly diminishes with the increase in the variety of possible pathogens circulating freely in human populations regardless of the availability of treatment. A cure do not provide an excuse to be reckless.
We therefor are taking permanent preventative measures to limit the spread of any infectious disease our employees my face, known and unknown, for current and future purposes. This is not about a single pathogen, but about all the outbreaks the human race may face in the future and we encourage businesses to adopt responsible measures.
Business and social culture has matured to a point where human beings are living so closely to each other and traveling so effectively that human beings closely resemble densely grown monocultural agricultural crops with high risk infectious characteristics.
Cures are important, but prevention is KEY!
