When you wish you had a crys­tal ball, or not.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the third of a series of fif­teen posts about free­dom 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.

Health ser­vices could become a new natio­nal defence. Just as mili­ta­ry ser­vice is man­da­to­ry in some nations, the same could hap­pen for medi­cal ser­vice. As the popu­la­tion ages, the ave­rage citizen’s health could become increa­sin­gly fra­gile. The nations concer­ned may have to ask them­selves the fol­lo­wing ques­tion. If sup­ply and demand works in one direc­tion, it can also work bet­ween citi­zens and the health care orga­ni­sa­tion in terms of the work­force. Without volun­ta­ry ser­vice, it will be neces­sa­ry to attract labour at great cost if the wealth of a nation allows it. Some nations will be able to afford it, others will not.

It may be that the popu­la­tion will wish to review its health pro­tec­tion. In the same way that a popu­la­tion under­going an attack will deve­lop a way to miti­gate the risk of ano­ther inci­dent. If the inci­dent came from the out­side, the control mea­sures would be at the per­iphe­ry, but if the threat came from the inside, mea­sures could emerge at the expense of indi­vi­dual free­dom. Could this be beneficial?

To be conti­nued tomorrow…
