Culture, politics and economy are all collaborating to confront this deadly Coronavirus, which has spread rapidly in most of the countries of the world. So, the general policy of the state is looking for suitable legislation and mechanisms to face the crisis.
The international relations have united within the formula of cooperation towards the goal in setting one agreed upon strategies; Culture has also joined the campaign through the closure of schools, universities, cafes, clubs and other means to fight this disease.
This has changed the priorities in the economy, politics and culture in the world towards unification unprecedented in history.
As long as there is no meaning for the international conflict and the functional, economic, military and political sharing of the power, wealth and oil sources, the human goal has become to preserve the land, which brings people together regardless of religion, sectarianism and bloody conflict.
What unites us all without exception is the fight against the epidemic spreading across the world; its toll has increased more than cases of killing, destruction, bombardment and occupation silencing a smile of a child, the future, the conscience and morals.
*The legislative and economic dimension in facing epidemic:
President Donald Trump, visited the Capitol in an attempt to persuade Republicans to agree to an economic stimulus package that includes cuts in payroll taxes and tax exemptions for affected sectors, but lawmakers have not met his proposals.
The most striking thing about this virus is the savage capitalist system, which has not shy away from accumulating billions of dollars in the pockets of eight people, who own half of all humanity.
Meanwhile, the global spending on health does not exceed $ 40 per person per year in poor countries, and about $ 1,000 in the world's richest countries, that is the United States.
What he revealed also is that spending on health is not a sufficient standard. Although the United States spends 17% of its national income on health, the percentage of those who have comprehensive health insurance in it does not exceed 30%.
Because most of the spending goes to the pockets of insurance companies, not to citizens and their health, nor for preventive or primary health, due to the prices of remedial services imposed by companies are fictional.
On other hand, billions of dollars go to insurance companies, medicines, and all of them have not yet been able to find a vaccine to protect against this dangerous virus.
The world has become one global village because of globalization, the explosion of trade and global economic activity, and the system of capitalism that sanctifies freedom of trade, movement of money, and investment.
However, that made us one world without borders for the transmission of viruses and modern diseases that will not remain confined to developing countries such as malaria diseases, tuberculosis, and old yellow fever.
Our world spends thousands of billions on the production and trade of profitable weapons, as well as failing to allocate 12 billion dollars sufficient to make clean and healthy water available in every home in the world.
Our world was busy developing electronic spy systems and programs that eliminated human privacy, and made every phone call, and every conversation in the world, registered in the security services servers, but was not concerned with developing technologies to develop vaccines against viruses and infectious diseases.
Many governments are reluctant to allocate resources to fight the Coronavirus when it began to spread, and their media gloating about China, but they rushed to allocate tens of billions to support banks and monopolies when the stock market collapsed, which threated the global capitalism temple.
Rationality requires a review of all economic approaches, global economic and social policies, and treating humanity and its countries as equal bodies without discrimination.
It also requires abandoning the inpidual selfishness whose billions will not protect them from another upcoming virus, or a meteor that may collide with our globe, or a potential environmental disaster.
This virus played a pivotal role in accelerating the legislators work in all world countries. It is a historical event, which is considered the first according to our modern world.
