Abstract
This paper highlights the problems faced during the pandemic, as this pandemic caused adverse ramifications and washed out many vulnerable communities. Healthcare systems and providers raised their capabilities and capacities promptly to battle challenges that were unprecedented. Yet, a lack of prompt response has led to huge global losses in all the major sectors. Hence, after analysing such vulnerabilities, how can communities resist and withstand such vulnerabilities to survive. This paper recommends the elements of resilient communities and aims to contribute six futuristic strategies from the identified pitfalls and the potential scope for mitigating the impact and accelerating the road for recovery and resilience. Acknowledging the social change, this paper also presents a product solution to protect oneself from disorders caused by the SARS Covid-19 virus. This ergonomically designed product is versatile, and its unique features make it user-friendly which will protect, revive, and recover the immunity for users of all age groups and especially the ones who are always on the go. This will imbibe a positive behavioural change for the well-being of the users paving the way for quality life.
