In my opinion this would not have happened without neoliberalism.
Idk do you think thats true? Air travel and global supply chains would still be a thing right? Plus I think it would still be hard to keep people at home, even if hypothetically we had a government that would pay us indefinitely (or you know was moneyless). I still think it would spread pretty easily if communism was as globalized as capitalism.
Global supply chains as they currently exist would not exist without neoliberalism. A big part of keynesian economics after ww2 was about developing national self-sufficiency.
I’m being a bit hyperbolic but in my view it was containable before it exploded in the US and Italy. I mean there’s so much we still really have to learn (why was it found in spring 2019 sewage samples?) but as it stands now I think this could’ve been just a bit worse than SARS-1 if everyone had treated it like East Asian countries.
They did it fine in the countires without neoliberalism. Or, just with less of it.
As the hub of neoliberalism where you can't get time off for being sick we will bread new and worse strains of plauge to destory the world around us the same way our ancestors did.
Our anglo power is so corrosive just having us on the same planet makes plauges worse.
