When the world stops turning

Lis­te­ned while wri­ting this post, try while rea­ding it :o)

This post is the third of a series of ten posts about cer­tain aspects of our lives during the COVID-19 cri­sis. These posts must be read in order, star­ting with the 6th post would make abso­lu­te­ly no sense to the rea­der. Enjoy rea­ding and above all, enjoy reflecting.

Above all, it is impor­tant to have a mul­ti-pers­pec­tive approach. In order to com­pare the entire world bet­ween two eras, it is impor­tant to have a mini­mum amount of his­to­ri­cal refe­rences. Then, anthro­po­lo­gi­cal, socio­lo­gi­cal and psy­cho­lo­gi­cal refe­rences are also impor­tant. As you can see, I am not inter­es­ted in medi­cal, micro­bio­lo­gi­cal or other natu­ral sciences. This know­ledge is of lit­tle inter­est in our approach and we will see why a lit­tle later.

In order to have the most com­plete unders­tan­ding pos­sible, because per­fec­tion will not be achie­vable, we must first iden­ti­fy pre­vious pan­de­mics or epi­de­mics from pre­vious cen­tu­ries. Once the eras have been iden­ti­fied, we must then look at seve­ral com­mon cha­rac­te­ris­tics present in each era.

Without a doubt, we must iden­ti­fy the poli­ti­cal sys­tems in place, the nations affec­ted and the means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion within and bet­ween nations. Medi­cal advan­ce­ments are of lit­tle value, in my opi­nion, consi­de­ring that they have an indi­vi­dual effec­ti­ve­ness rather than for a large num­ber. A vac­ci­na­tion doesn’t come until seve­ral years later and can­not be consi­de­red in the short term. Phar­ma­co­lo­gy could never­the­less be consi­de­red. Reli­gions and their influence on the men­ta­li­ty and beha­viour of socie­ties must abso­lu­te­ly be inclu­ded, as well as the size of fami­lies, towns, vil­lages and cities. The territory’s den­si­ty of occu­pa­tion and popu­la­tion, as well as its demography.

To be continued…
