Behavior and anticipation of the covid-19 crisis

ABSTRACT

The fact that the Covid-19 epidemic is still ongoing - and evolving in different ways in many different countries - means that there is still very little scientific synthesis work based on sufficient hindsight and objectivity that could be used to judge the behaviors that would have been necessary for curative anticipation of the Covid-19 crisis, i.e. anticipation that could permanently deal with Covid-19. The health, societal, economic and geopolitical implications of these crisis situations, which are already considerable today, may become even more significant in the near future. Communication to the public is increasingly becoming a major societal issue, as is the fight against fake news. When the time comes, it will also be appropriate to question the semantics used to describe the Covid-19 epidemic. An emerging topic is variants . This is a perfectly normal evolution of a mostly global virus, but new questions, behaviors and radical decisions emerge. © ISTE Ltd 2022.
