Post COVID-19 Paradigm Shift in Social Science, Technology and Public Health

The WHO announced the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) an ‘emergency of international trouble’ on 30th January 2020 and a pandemic on 11th March. According to WHO’s statement Report - 79, as of 8th April 2020, the epidemic has give rise to 79235 deaths all over the world. Although it is surely nearing its end in China, where it was first noted, it is still on the stand up in Europe, in the USA and in other parts of the world, as well as in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The pandemic has triggered unprecedented measures worldwide. Many countries have put travel bans, restrict and lockdown scheme. These reactions have been accepted in an ‘emergency’ way, and are largely reactionary, intended at diminishes the expansion of the disease while waiting for a specific prevention and/or vaccine to be developed. Here we don’t want to put down the risks produced by the pandemic, nor to question the measures taken by the WHO and governments. But we would like to convey our problems regarding four COVID-19-related issues, and support for a ‘paradigm shift’— that is, a revolution in scientific technology, basic concepts, changes in the human health and experimental practices on technology —to prepare for future crises
