  50. Not as “chilling” as the current polar effect of climate change we might be experiencing currently! 😫 But seriously, preparations for the next pandemic should be accompanied by a deep evaluation of how our societies operate, the flexibility of the frameworks of our politics, and the management of resources. What do I mean by all of the above? I’m a conservative, and it’s clear in my mind that the conservative response to the pandemic has been insufficient at best, and counterproductive at worst. There is a time and place for an emphasis on individual liberty and free enterprise, but a global emergency is not it. (Not to mention that other structural weaknesses of the conservative program have been revealed by the pandemic that undermines the conservative stance.) What is required is more social cohesion, not less. More international cooperation, not nationalism. And though it pains me to say it, more liberal redistribution of resources to insure everyone can survive disruptions to the economy. This liberal spending has already required a near disastrous overextension of credit in my country. When the current emergency has passed, that borrowing needs to be repaid so that we can borrow again in the next emergency. (To be honest here, in my country, the more liberal of the two major parties has a better track record when it comes to deficits. I think this is more the case that the conservative party has actually gone off the rails and lost touch with the meaning of conservatism. Maybe liberals make better conservatives?) To me, the proper response to recurrent emergencies is, you lay by a reserve during fat years so that you can draw on it during lean years. You invest in the infrastructure you will need to call on during emergencies, instead of letting it whither in between emergencies.
