THE PANDEMIC: THE THEFT OF THE CENTURY

Abstract

Days ago I shared an article on social networks about the word pandemic, in which due to its etymology it could have three very distant and different meanings from how the World Health Organization (WHO) defines it, because this word has nothing to do with disease, and that currently seems a kind of checkmate to the "pre-pandemic world" (which is curiously a word that already has 191,000 results on the WEB), and leads some intellectuals, and even political leaders to say that nothing will be the same in the post-pandemic world (with 23,100 results, at 3:43 p.m. today, August 20, 2020), which according to some is post-capitalism, or a new socialism, under the framework of sustainable development.
