I don't see any tech solutions mentioned out here. At least i would like to take a shot.

Not relying on government is the way to go.

I think we should build a social network for community welfare which can prepare us for something like this in future. Where people build communities among themselves. Key point being internal resource availability to be exposed to the close knit network and an external pool exposed to an radius. Keeping everything to the close knit shouldn't be encouraged and there should be a proportion. Ideally the network should be split when its crossing a proportion.

How do we keep up with something like covid-19 in future?. I don’t think relying on government is the way to go.

Why not build a social network which helps to build close knit communities and it can have a cascade effect on the whole populace as a side effect("good"). Some of the key points for it to work being:

    # Pool resources before hand so that the whole system is not suffocated.
    # Internal resources exposed to close knit.
    # External resources exposed to a radius.
    # Cap on internal vs external resources.
    # Split the community into smaller ones when it reaches a proportion.
    # Point system to motivate communities.
    # Ability to mobilize resource across communities.

This need not be the case with just a pandemic but can help us tide over other eventualities as well.
