This dossier has been made from a selection of articles published, mainly, in international, Spanish and Catalan media. The content of this edition of the&nbsp;<em>Diari de les idees<\/em>&nbsp;has been prepared entirely and for the first time in telework mode by the different members of the CETC team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expansion of Covid-19 throughout the planet has revealed the deficiencies in front of a pandemic of the multilateral health system redesigned after the outbreak of SARS in 2005, insofar as the number of victims do not stop growing day after day. According to the count (updated every day) of the Center for Systems Science and Engineering of the&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/opsdashboard\/index.html#\/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6\">John Hopkins University<\/a>, yesterday the total number of infected people was of 215,001, the number of healed 83,313 and the number of deaths 8,849. The same source reveals that the average mortality rate is of 4.12% and the healing rate 38.75%, while the rate of people still infected is 57.13%. The incidence of the virus, however, presents significant differences, especially regarding the mortality rate. Thus, and by limiting ourselves to some European countries, we see how at one extreme we have Italy with 35,713 cases and 2,978 deaths, which supposes a mortality rate of 8.34% and in the other one Germany that has 12,327 cases but with a mortality rate of 0.23% while Spain is at an intermediate point with 13,910 cases and a mortality rate of 4.48% (much higher however than in France, where the number of cases is 9,134 and the mortality rate 1.64%). As for Spain, the Community of Madrid is the one with the most patients with 5,637 positive cases and 390 deaths, while in Catalonia there are 2,076 infected people and 55 deaths. Those interested can follow the evolution of the pandemic in real time in<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/coronavirus-in-europe-by-the-numbers\/\">Politico<\/a><\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas J. Bollyky and Yanzhong Huang write in&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2020\/03\/10\/the-multilateral-health-system-failed-to-stop-the-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Foreign Policy<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em>that the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the weaknesses of an international system built around the World Health Organization (WHO). An institution of the United Nations System that responds to the interests of the Member States and that has failed in leading the fight against the virus and coordinating efficiently the international system against the pandemic. WHO has the capacity to criticize and compel States to act to take efficient measures to stop proliferation, but so far, its inoperativeness and passivity has been resounding. Therefore, once this crisis is overcome, it will be to analyze and reformulate the role of WHO and transform the institution to make it more efficient in the face of future similar global health crises.From the political point of view and in the absence of an international and coordinated response, one of the most relevant aspects of the impact of the pandemic is the relevance and the new role of the nation-state in responding to the health crisis. Citizens throughout the world look to the State for measures, guidance, protection and salvation in the face of a viral emergency. Whether through the health system, guaranteeing supplies, or through coercive and restrictive measures of individual liberties like compulsory confinement, the State as modern Leviathan appears again as the repository of all power and as the only essential structure to guarantee our security. In this sense, the weakness of the neoliberal discourse calling for market validity is appalling when a crisis of these characteristics breaks out, as pointed out in this article in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2020\/03\/trump-socialism-and-coronavirus-epidemic\/607681\/\"><em>The Atlantic<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;and how all eyes are turned into the public services at the same time as they deal with this systemic and global crisis..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the same token, Stephen M. Walt writes in&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2020\/03\/09\/coronavirus-economy-globalization-virus-icu-realism\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Foreign Policy<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;that the current health emergency reminds us that states continue to be the main actors in global politics, and that although the more structural versions of realism tend to relativize differences between states, responses to the coronavirus outbreak so far expose the strengths and weaknesses of the different types of regimes. Moreover, in the pages of&nbsp;<em>The Independent<\/em>, Kerry Brown warns that with the excuse of maintaining security during the crisis, the surveillance and social control technologies used in China are also a way to guarantee the stability, control and power of the Communist Party, and yet they have popular acceptance as long as these measures are efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coronavirus pandemic is undoubtedly a litmus test for the different political models and systems at play. From the pages of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/elpais\/2020\/03\/14\/opinion\/1584200660_229052.html\"><em>El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a>, M\u00e1riam Mart\u00ednez-Bascu\u00f1\u00e1n points out that one of the key elements is the battle between political orders and their internal reorganization. We thus find ourselves in front of an important geopolitical crossroad conditioned by the competition between the US and China, the two superpowers that exemplify antagonistic models of social and political organization. The battle against the pandemic will also condition the self-esteem of the liberal democracies of the West and their role in the world, in contrast to the authoritarian and centralized political system of the People&#8217;s Republic of China. In an interview in&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/lacontra\/20200314\/474114789371\/china-mire-con-el-virus-cree-mas-en-la-mano-dura-que-en-la-libertad.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>La Vanguardia<\/em><\/a>, the researcher from the London School of Economics Yu Jie hammers the point and stresses that the Chinese believe more in the heavy-handed approach than in freedom, so they prefer an authoritarian state that is capable of controlling the virus. She also emphasizes &#8220;<em>that maybe the issue at stake is that maybe democracy does not generate prosperity but prosperity is generated in spite of democracy.<\/em>&#8221; A provocative statement that exemplifies the conflict between the two political models in this context of crisis..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nat\u00e1lia Faria in the Portuguese newspaper&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.publico.pt\/2020\/03\/15\/sociedade\/noticia\/virus-medo-ja-contagiou-democracias-1907735\"><em>P\u00fablico<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em>points out that the idea that the complexity of relations and social and political problems requires a strong government is beginning to take root and that the national-populist critique of the functioning of democracy revives ancient fears. The Covid-19 can ultimately reinforce narratives of a messianic or autarchic nature. In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/elpais\/2020\/03\/11\/opinion\/1583929381_299128.html\"><em>El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;Llu\u00eds Bassets also warns that when the crisis is over, there will be a comparison between the results obtained by everyone, from decentralized and democratic governments to authoritarian and centralized ones to see which one managed best the crisis. This diagnosis is shared by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/elpais\/2020\/03\/11\/opinion\/1583929575_712098.html\">Josep Ramoneda<\/a>&nbsp;who expresses his fear that the coronavirus episode could have already reinforced the seductive capacity of authoritarianism in front of fear. If this model has the upper hand, the big loser will be democracy, as the Chinese model will appear to everyone as the only reliable one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pandemic that has its epicenter now in Europe with an exponential growth of infections in Italy and in Spain reveals the continent is again subjected to a difficult test and doomed to a permanent crisis. In this sense, the impact of Covid-19 on the European project has revealed the lack of coordinated response from the different member states. The closure of the EU&#8217;s external borders, the re-establishment of border controls within the Schengen area and the lack of synchronization in measures such as the confinement of the population are signs of the lack of European leadership. This is stated in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/coronavirus-europe-end-of-the-denial\/\"><em>Politico<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;by Matthew Karnitschnig where he denounces that the coronavirus crisis has caught Europe off guard since European leaders did not expect an impact of this magnitude. European institutions, such as the Commission, are not empowered to act on issues that directly affect the health of citizens or their safety, and an institution such as the European Central Bank is poorly equipped to respond to problems arising from the decrease in the supply that the European economy will suffer due to the expansion of the coronavirus. Merkel&#8217;s leadership once again, setting an example of public response and guaranteeing the necessary financial means, beyond deficits, has set the way for the other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centralization of power to respond to the health emergency is also the recipe that the Spanish government of Pedro S\u00e1nchez has activated to cope with the exponential growth of infected people throughout the country. The declaration of the state of alarm, recentralizing the main competences and ignoring that matters such as health or security are the responsibility of the autonomous regions, in this case of the&nbsp;<em>Generalitat<\/em>, once again reveals a political culture obsessed with a unitary, uniform and homogenizing conception of the state that does not respect the principles of self-government or the efficiency of subsidiarity and that evades any principle of loyalty and federal or regional cooperation. As Joan Ramon Resina argues in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vilaweb.cat\/noticies\/covid-19-avantsala-dictadura-opinio-joan-ramon-resina\/\"><em>Vilaweb,<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;with this decision that&nbsp;<em>de facto<\/em>&nbsp;suspends constitutional guarantees and definitively erases the fiction of Spain as the state of the autonomies, S\u00e1nchez simulates an energy that he has been lacking that he borrows from the rancid Spanish tradition. There will be time to analyze and criticize these measures, not for being but for being inadequate, and which deserve to be questioned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the signs of the times, this global health crisis also does not escape from false rumors and&nbsp;<em>fake news<\/em>. As Yanzhon Huang relates in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/united-states\/2020-03-05\/us-chinese-distrust-inviting-dangerous-coronavirus-conspiracy\"><em>Foreign Affairs<\/em><\/a>, or Carme Colomina in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cidob.org\/ca\/publicacions\/series_de_publicacio\/opinio\/seguridad_y_politica_mundial\/coronavirus_infodemia_i_desinformacio\">CIDOB<\/a> note the impact of the virus&#8217;s eruption has caused the proliferation of theories that attribute the appearance of the virus to the growing tension between the US and China. This climate of uncertainty and mistrust between the two superpowers has caused crossed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpokespersonCHN\/status\/1238003509510856704?s=20\">accusations<\/a>&nbsp;from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs or from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E2CYqiJI2pE\">President Trump<\/a>&nbsp;himself who have contributed to create the appearance of a biological warfare orchestrated by military laboratories. For this reason, it is important to highlight the contribution of the prestigious journal&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41591-020-0820-9?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=organic&amp;utm_campaign=NGMT_USG_JC01_GL_NRJournals&amp;fbclid=IwAR07RH6bva_AZU0IrFHAyW03ygyu3U6xSIaW1wrN8KsQJWb0EilLnJI-Nu8\"><em>Nature<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;which publishes an article refuting any conspiracy theory about the alleged artificial origin of the coronavirus. This text describes that the genomic evidence of SARS-CoV2 and the study of its components, such as proteins, are the result of natural selection processes and that in no case it has been artificially created in a laboratory. Most likely, it has an animal origin (bat or pangolin) and has been transmitted to humans in the Wuhan market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global health emergency such as the one we are experiencing also has social and human repercussions, while the fear of contagion and the drastic decrease in direct personal relationships due to confinement measures, affect us considerably as individuals and as a society. Angelo Orsi analyzes in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/temi.repubblica.it\/micromega-online\/lo-shock-antidemocratico-del-virus\/\"><em>MicroMega<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;the current crisis and stresses two aspects of human behavior: on the one hand, we are witnessing an increase in altruism, dedication to the common good and solidarity, but on the other hand we are seeing scenes of individualism and selfishness or in some cases explicit manifestations of racism.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/temi.repubblica.it\/micromega-online\/l-umanesimo-ai-tempi-del-coronavirus-rileggendo-la-peste-di-camus\/\">Teresa Simeone<\/a>&nbsp;stresses that this virus tests us as individuals and as a society and affirms that Covid-19 is also an ethical and existential challenge insofar as its diffusion is capable of radically modifying human relationships, which are always paradoxical. This is a founding moment where uncertainty becomes a breeding ground for both the great virtues of human genius, solidarity, and for the most extreme individualism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another very relevant aspect of the Covid-19 is the enormous impact it is already having on the global economy, as shown by the fact that a few days after the epidemic hit Italy, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange experienced the biggest drop since the attacks of September 11 and lost a 7.94%, while those of London and Paris respectively lost 7.69% and 8.39%. Foreseeing this scenario in early March the United States Federal Reserve lowered interest rates before its annual meeting on monetary policy, as have the central banks of Australia, Canada and Indonesia and it is expected that the Bank of England and the European Central Bank will soon join the initiative. However, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/leaders\/2020\/03\/05\/the-right-medicine-for-the-world-economy\"><em>The Economist&nbsp;<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;monetary policy cannot repair broken supply chains or encourage companies and individuals to start new projects. These obvious limitations help to explain why the stock markets have not improved their results after the lowering of interest rates decreed by the Fed. The same newspaper also points out that in rich countries most of the economic effort is been directed at calming the financial markets. There are also several articles that point to the growing tension between health policy and economic policy, while the first aims to reduce the peak of the epidemic the second wants to minimize the time factories will be closed sick leaves. The debate on how to find a balance point is played out by most European governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the French magazine&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marianne.net\/economie\/risque-de-crise-financiere-liee-au-coronavirus-il-y-2-chances-sur-3-que-l-vive-une?fbclid=IwAR1VSr2PUYikzLsn2uhsf0CpRmLelM-jM3YC1xnWSn3x09xqUmAWkwCPaac\"><em>Marianne<\/em><\/a>, Ga\u00ebl Giraud, economist and research director at the French CNRS warns that the pandemic is paralyzing a large part of the world economy, including the Chinese, which represents 20% of world GDP, the north of Italy, which is one of the richest regions in the world, the Spanish economy and increasingly also the economy of France. Considering the massive asset sales that are taking place and the oil price war that has started in Saudi Arabia, he considers that a new financial crisis is likely to occur with a direct impact on world GDP. Financial markets should be very resilient and very cautious, waiting to see how the crisis evolves and prevent panic from causing a much more serious aggravation. The concern about the impact of Covid-19 on the economy is shared by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Lordon que en un llarg article publicat a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mondediplo.net\/coronakrach\"><em>Le Monde Diplomatique<\/em><\/a>, significantly entitled &#8220;Coronakrach&#8221;, warns that if up to now financial crises have been unique events restricted to their own sphere (the sphere of markets, banks, etc.) now the current situation offers as a remarkable and unprecedented feature that the financial crisis is not isolated, but is presented as the metonymy of a multitude of sectorial crises that are synchronized: the crises of neoliberalism in the process of fusion-totalization; the climate and energy crisis or the construction around the Chinese syndrome. Hospitals, schools, research: as in the case of finances, we can say that the virus is the last straw for institutions already very weakened by neoliberalism and that an additional tension would lead to its collapse. Ultimately, he warns that the coronakrach will not be simply a financial meltdown but a general shock: everything that was about to break could finally collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within a context that can lead to a severe recession the board of the European Central Bank has met urgently and has approved to expand on 750,000 million euros the purchase of public and private debt until the end of year to ease the economic and financial impact of the crisis. To measure the importance of the decision, it is enough to emphasize that this figure is to be added to the 120,000 million approved just a week ago and the 240,000 million that the ECB had already planned to buy during the year before the pandemic broke out. In total, then, the purchase of debt rises to 1.11 billion, the highest amount ever reached by the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Spain, Pedro S\u00e1nchez has announced that 117,000 million of public money and 83,000 million from the private sector will be mobilized as a first step to create a protective shield for the economy. In the absence of further details, it seems that the measures approved by the Government to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the economy will fall short. Logically, S\u00e1nchez already knows this, and in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ctxt.es\/es\/20200302\/Politica\/31404\/estado-de-alarma-medidas-economicas-pymes-autonomos-crisis-coronavirus.htm\"><em>CTXT<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;Emilio de la Pe\u00f1a states that the head of the Spanish government may not have said all the truth, on the one hand so as not to upset the European Commission and the markets, and on the other, due to the position of his economic vice president, Nadia Calvi\u00f1o, who fiercely defends the orthodoxy of not increasing the deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it should also be mentioned that some authors see this crisis as an opportunity to try to change the socioeconomic model. In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuevatribuna.es\/opinion\/juan-antonio-molina\/coronavirus-fin-neoliberalismo-posmoderno\/20200314093616172036.html\"><em>Nueva Tribuna&nbsp;<\/em><\/a>Juan Antonio Molina asserts that time has come for the reduction to absurd of capitalism in its neoliberal version and of postmodernism as its metaphysical support. The coronavirus crisis puts everyone in trouble. It seriously affects the health of all citizens, the lives of companies, precarious workers and the poorest &#8230; In this context, from the pages of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opendemocracy.net\/en\/oureconomy\/we-must-act-to-contain-the-coronavirus-but-we-cant-return-to-business-as-usual\/\"><em>Open Democracy<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;Laurie Macfarlane suggests that although it is essential to fight to keep jobs, the crisis should serve to mobilize resources to transform the energy, transport, housing and agriculture sectors, decarbonize production and consumption, and restore natural ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The possible consequences of Covid-19 on climate change are also very worrying. James Taylor&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MIT Technology Review (s'obre en una nova pestanya)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/s\/615338\/coronavirus-emissions-climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\">MIT Technology Review<\/a><\/em> writes that even if this outbreak will likely to reduce greenhouse gas emissions this year it would be a mistake to assume that it will significantly reduce the dangers of climate change. Furthermore, if the virus causes a serious global economic recession, this will surely lead to less funding to fight climate change. Likewise, in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5795150\/coronavirus-climate-change\/\"><em>Time<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;Justin Worland warns that the coronavirus crisis represents a triple threat that could derail the Paris Agreement against global warming since, on the one hand, it has interrupted the negotiations that were taking place for the COP26 and, on the other hand, the accelerated spread of the disease may lead to a change in the population&#8217;s priorities and leave the concern for climate change as secondary. Finally, once the health crisis is over, the large-scale use of fossil fuels may well be favored in order to speed the recovery of the world economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in the field of new technologies, in&nbsp;Forbes magazine, Simon Chandler reveals that Artificial Intelligence detected the coronavirus long before the world population really got news of it. On December 31, a Toronto startup named BlueDot identified the outbreak in Wuhan, just a few hours after local authorities diagnosed the first cases. He also says that AI will become a huge firewall against infectious diseases and pandemics, not only thanks to assisted screening and diagnosis techniques, but also because it will be essential to identify possible vaccines and treatments for the next coronavirus crisis. In the scientific journal&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lameladinewton-micromega.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it\/2020\/03\/11\/coronavirus-quando-l%E2%80%99emergenza-sanitaria-promuove-una-nuova-cultura-della-ricerca\/\"><em>A mela di Newton<\/em><\/a>, Andrea Meneganzin&nbsp;writes that due to this health emergency the scientific community cannot afford to continue with its usual mechanisms and points out that one of the aspects of the scientific culture that is changing is access to data.
