BUJ BUJ, Antonio. COVID-19 and the hypocritical reason. A world-system Melts into air. Finisterra [online]. 2020, n.115, pp.75-80.  Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/finis20300.

The expansion of the COVID-19 pandemic has been live-covered by worldwide media. This pathology, originated by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has exposed the hypocrisy of the so-called wealthy countries with their poorer counterparts when it comes to public health matters. Other illnesses severely punish the latter and COVID-19 may further exacerbate the divergence. The capitalist world-system has failed in providing an adequate response to this emergency. It is of paramount importance to establish solidarity chains when drugs or vaccines against the pathology are found.

Keywords : COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; public health divergence; capitalist system-world crisis.
