The exaggerated reaction to covid, was a very suspicious thing from the very beginning. An illness that seems to be more a freak occurrence than a real threat to the world, was taken out of all proportions and made the alibi for any type of 'emergency' measures. Not only the statistics do not appear reliable about an affliction that is not endemic, historical or widespread, but huge commercial and political interests are more than evident in the whole process. The closing down of health services around the world, like that of any other public services, has the potential of creating enormous real problems and, so, it is quite logical to ask what was the real purpose of that closures. What could have been a 'reasonable measure' in the Third World, were the health services are few and far between, becomes a strange proposition in the West. The suspicion that a 'health reset' or a renewed assault on public services and private purses, mimicking those of the last financial crisis, therefore, cannot be cleared and lingers on.
