ЖИВОТ ВО ШОК РАЗБИРАЊЕ НА ПАНДЕМИЈАТА

The document examines the COVID-19 pandemic as a systemic crisis that exposed deep inequalities and the fragility of market-based systems. It argues that the health crisis is inextricably linked to environmental collapse, specifically biodiversity loss and zoonotic risks. The text advocates for the revival of the social state, the implementation of a 'foundational economy' that prioritizes basic human needs over profit, and the adoption of 'technological humanism' to bridge the digital divide. It also analyzes the political responses of Green parties in Europe and the rise of authoritarianism and right-wing populism during the crisis, while highlighting grassroots solidarity networks and the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on marginalized groups, including migrants and the elderly.

• Biodiversity loss increases the risk of zoonotic pandemics because the loss of species often leads to a few resilient species, such as rats and bats, dominating ecosystems; these species are more likely to carry dangerous pathogens.
• The pandemic exposed the dangers of austerity policies in healthcare, which left European countries without sufficient capacity to manage crises due to a focus on privatization and cost efficiency.
• There is a proposal for 'EU Health Forces' as part of European civil protection systems, where medical staff would be trained and ready for mobilization during local crises or epidemics.
• The 'foundational economy'—comprising education, health, social protection, utilities, and retail—is essential for a sustainable future, shifting the focus from market growth to the satisfaction of basic human needs.
• The pandemic accelerated a 'digital divide' where access to basic rights (education, work, health) is increasingly dependent on internet access and digital skills, which are unevenly distributed by income and age.
• In Poland, the 'Law and Justice' (PiS) party used the pandemic as a catalyst for authoritarian tendencies, attempting to dismantle social dialogue and restrict reproductive rights.
• The pandemic disproportionately affected racialized communities in the UK, with people of Bangladeshi descent having twice the probability of dying from the virus compared to white people.
• Mass tourism in cities like Venice and Rome has led to 'overtourism,' causing environmental degradation, such as shoreline erosion from cruise ships, and the displacement of local residents through the 'Airbnb effect.'
• Migrant workers in Greece, Iran, and South Africa faced extreme vulnerability during the pandemic, often being excluded from government financial aid and lacking social protections.
• Antimicrobial resistance is a systemic threat to global health and food security, with projections suggesting up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050 if not addressed.
• The '15-minute city' concept aims to ensure all essential urban services are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, though its implementation faces challenges from gentrification and existing urban inequalities.
• The European Union's recovery package is seen as a significant fiscal signal of unity, though there are concerns regarding the lack of political accountability and the risk of funds being mismanaged.
• The pandemic highlighted the 'invisible borders' of bio-surveillance, where biometric data and AI-driven risk assessments are used to regulate movement and filter migrants before they reach a territory.
