Merely responding to the pandemic can give us short-term relief but if we do not learn that we need to change our behavior we are bound to stumble into more pandemics in the future. The Covid-19 pandemic is simply the result of our failure to learn from the past. We treated earlier pandemics as a medical issue that requires a medical response. We conveniently forget that these crises were triggered by our behaviors and attitudes.

The Covid19 pandemic has turned the world upside down. Rich and developed countries like the US, the UK and Russia has proven to be inept at handling the pandemic. The high number of infections and deaths in these countries shows how the national leadership in these countries have failed. These countries may have the best scientists and hospitals, but these cannot compensate for the tragedy of incompetent national leaders.
