Covid 19 and Herd Immunity? The War between the Human and the Virus

The current pandemic crisis of COVID-19 laid bare considerable flaws of the "modern societies" of the West. Democracies seem ill-equipped to deal with a crisis that needs quick and determined action. To opt for herd immunity as a measure to tackle COVID-19 could be translated into: "we do not know what to do, so doing nothing looks like the best option". The influence of the industrial/business complex in such a crisis will also need to be discussed and reflected carefully. In essence, this crisis could be seen as an opportunity to upgrade the current model of business and its view of a globalized order, so that business and industries may continue to be globally connected but have more roots that keep them locally sustained.
