History teaches us that humanity evolves significantly only when it is truly afraid: then it first puts in place defense mechanisms; sometimes intolerable (scapegoats and totalitarianisms); sometimes futile (distraction); sometimes effective (therapeutic, if necessary setting aside all previous moral principles). Then, once the crisis is over, it transforms these mechanisms to make them compatible with individual freedom and to include them in a democratic health policy. „

„The pandemic that is beginning could trigger one of these structuring fears“ because it will raise, „better than any humanitarian or ecological discourse, the awareness of the need for altruism, at least interested. “

„And, even if, as we can obviously hope, this crisis is not very serious, we must not forget, as for the economic crisis, to learn the lessons, so that before the next – inevitable – prevention and control mechanisms are put in place, as well as logistical processes for the equitable distribution of drugs and vaccines. For that, we will have to put in place a global police force, global storage and therefore global taxation. We will then, much faster than economic reason alone would have allowed, to lay the foundations for a real world government. “
