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. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9182 Title: The Many Faces of Covid-19: Organizing Pneumonia (OP) Pattern HRCT Features Authors: Rea, Gaetano; Valente, Tullio; Lieto, Roberta; Bocchini, Giorgio; Marchiori, Edson; Pinto, Antonio; Maglio, Angelantonio; Vatrella, Alessandro Abstract: 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. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9181 Title: Decluttering Authors: Ciacci, Carolina; Piazza, Ornella 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9180 Title: Saving Limited Resources During Covid-19 Pandemic Authors: Piazza, Ornella 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
