Coronavirus: Why capitalism is worst virus we have
  • So, lets take official point of view and think about real measures that must be taken.

    1. Quick arranging of modern hospitals with fully isolated small rooms, very god mobile data and video chat and oversee available for EACH of patients. Relatives must be able to see parameters and video feed 24/7. Instead we have extremely slow building of stadium size structures (like in early 20th century) and complete lack of relatives support (that can fee thousands of medics).
    2. Fast design of simple and repairable model and building hundreds of thousands of oxygen concentrators. Nothing is being done, except slow ramping of production. As 80% of them are being made in China (with delivery now expected in 5-8 months), production is very bad in China. Same is true for ventilators, as capitalist hope to again sell to governments extremely expensive models, they are afraid that society can see real cost of such things.
    3. Fast design and production of good washable masks with gel inserts (for sealing and comfort) and replaceable filters. Such masks can be used 1-3 months each. Instead we have idiots from politicians running around with dollars in their hand trying to buy more cheap one time use masks. Again, biggest hope of this guys is China.
    4. Fast design and production of comfort glasses for medics. None is being done except slow ramping of production, again most are Chinese.
    5. All tests production must be put under social control, with each batch being randomly tested and distributed by society. All corporations and capitalists must be considered enemy of the republic, especially their bio weapons labs who make it now. As it is tests that are being used for manipulations now.
    6. Production of tests to detect people who are past this and gained immunity. Instant return of all such people back into economy. Constant TV and internet coverage of them, so people see how normal life returns.

    Present capitalism is doing NOTHING from this list. And not by accident.
