Product description

This book attempts to analyze the issues raised by the chronicity of the Covid pandemic and its governance. The author analyzes the information resources mobilized to combat the pandemic in industrialized countries and pays particular attention to the operational mechanisms. The analysis seeks to clarify the modalities of operation of the crisis system management, while at the same time looking at the decision-making mechanisms. The main lines of analysis retained are: the piloting and management of the crisis, the markets for ordering protective equipment and vaccine, the hospital organization and the prevention campaign, and the costs and the methods of financing.Finally, the author asks whether it might not therefore be appropriate to rethink the organization of the pandemics governance and if health crisis governance should be opened up more to deal with societal challenges. This organization is too complex and suffers both from a certain heaviness and from a lack of resources, which are detrimental to its proper functioning. It should first and foremost be open to people in the field whose absence weighs heavily on the organization of the response to the pandemic. It should also be open to other specialties, even if they seem far removed from public health and medicine, if they are useful to the government in guiding its actions.
