The logical proposition now is for governments to build healthcare reserve capacity, in the same way military capacity was built in the post-world war eras
This was done in such a way that the collective psychology of nation states in the period after the world wars was underpinned by the neThe post-world war periods positioned the world to expend trillions of dollars on stockpiling armaments, building geopolitical alliances and establishing command centres around the globe in anticipation of, and in preparation for, another war.
António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, told a digital meeting of the G-20 that “we are at war with a virus, and not winning it”. As a result of the outbreak, schools and universities have closed, public spaces are locked down, governments have instructed millions to stay at home. The capitalist triumphalism has significantly reduced, undermined and sidelined the role of governments in favour of profiteering capitalist conglomerates.
The post-Covid-19 era should make all of us conscious that there are many essential services that do not need to be categorised as commodities, including healthcare, education, access to food and decent shelter. A healthcare reserve capacity will entail that all governments should empower at least 10% of their populations with basic but necessary healthcare skills and capacity.
The reality is that there are no capitalists in the world who make donations without expecting something tangible in return. Instead of a total reliance on taxes, which are recurrently disrupted by capitalist and natural global crises, governments should permanently have capacity to generate non-tax revenues.

FloydShivambu What a load of bullshit… Time to bury the socialist nonsense with the Covid19 dead…
