What pandemic teaches is, perhaps, there may be no panacea.
Circumstances or
crisis like everything else evolve, I repeat evolve or emerge.
First we need to
accept the fact and then we need to respond.
However, how we
respond will create a template of attitude, even if it does not offer a total
remedy.
In general, not
necessarily about health, even other realms, especially economy we must face
and accept facts and act with maturity rationally with scientific, humanitarian
and environmental concerns.
As Ayn Rand says,
"We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading
reality.”
We must put aside all
or at least most of the following approaches and attitudes.
All types dystopian
rhetoric zeal, immature emotional doomsday resignations, advocacy of outdated,
unscientific ( by which I mean not empirically tested documented, proven and
universally accessible methods of remedy) methods hovering around in the name
of much accepted conventional wisdom, preening of one-upmanship in crisis,
radical responses, fanatical fights and many other irrelevant or irresponsible
outbursts.
