The Earth continues to suffer from the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak even now, particularly due absence appropriate theoretical frameworks for related emergency responses. In this study, we provided a simplified model response infection. We employed qualitative content analysis, using Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist flow diagram. Specifically, examined eight underlying factors (leaders’ inability, focus on economic recovery, controversies regarding usage face masks, unprecedented reliance herd immunity, hasty research development, late decision-making, coordination failure, occurrence natural hazards) selected overarching (global leadership, national policies, individual strategies, culture, timing, communication, contingency). Considering these factors, proposed “Earth as comprehensive system” approach, under which elements pandemic are comprehensively included facilitate problem-solving, social support, strategic use, assistance various professionals, education. The operational mechanism approach clearly emphasizes unified efforts responding by systematically including interdependent components Earth.

Laboratory testing has played a pivotal role throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, exemplifying importance of in vitro diagnostics addressing public health threats posed by outbreaks infectious diseases. This article aims to present key insights from our expertise, derived evidence gathered during COVID-19 inform strategies for managing future challenges. Current scientific underscores that patient sample not only allows diagnose an acute severe respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but also supports outbreak prediction, improved control measures, anticipation pressure on healthcare system, mitigation adverse clinical outcomes, and early detection emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Additionally, wastewater monitoring emerged as powerful tool forecasting burden, including both prevalence severity. Collectively, these findings underscore value diagnostic surveillance guiding planning optimizing resource allocation offering valid framework be applied threats, especially any potential “Disease X” may emerge future.
