The COVID-19 pandemic has unveiled the
frailty of our societies from too many points of view to
look away. We need to understand why we were all
caught unprepared. On the one hand, we have all short
memories. As we forget too quickly, we were unable to
recognize key factors influencing response and
preparedness to public health threats. For many years,
economic evaluation pushed governments all over the
world to cut resources for public health systems, with
COVID-19 pandemic the question arises: do we spend
too much or too little on health care? What is the right
amount to spend on health? Moreover, in many countries,
the privatisation, or semi-privatisation, of healthcare may
give rise to inequitable access to health care for everyone.
Although COVID-19 is very “democratic”, its
consequences aren’t. According to OECD, income
inequality in OECD countries is at its highest level for the
past half century. Three main causes have been
recognized, technological revolution, globalization, and
“financialisation”.
In this scenario, lockdown measures adopted to save lives
are showing dramatic economic consequences. To address
post COVID-19 reconstruction we need to go beyond
GDP. As an economic measure this has many
shortcomings in describing the real well-being of a
country, and since what we measure affects what we do,
new paradigms will have to guide the post COVID-19
reconstruction strategies, as the fate of countries and their
citizens is at stake.

Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019)
is an infectious disease caused by severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
On 30 January 2020 the World Health Organization
(WHO) declared that the outbreak of Covid-19
realizes a public health emergency of international
concern. Because of the primary involvement of the
respiratory system, chest CT is strongly
recommended in suspected Covid-19 cases, for both
initial and follow-up. We present the case of a
Covid-19 patient, a 57-year-old man, with a typical
HRCT course of OP reaction.
