This is a good advice to the government, communities and corporations to fund research regularly to understand how the people are coping with daily challenges, not just with the pandemics.

Moreover, social research should not focus exclusively on the attitudes of the people to government policy, social scientists should also take seriously indigenous knowledge systems and healing practices that may be helping more of the migrant workers to prevent infections and even cure some in their villages with or without support from the government.
