We reported on the prognosis of Innsbruck infectious disease specialist Günter Weiss, who warns of a possible new epidemic caused by a mutated flu virus, which stimulated our community to a lively discussion. The emphasis is mainly on the risks of new viruses and their possible effects on Europe and society.
Our user ironman and many other readers criticize the political leadership for inadequate preparations. It demands that measures be proactively and sensibly designed to minimize the fatal consequences of a pandemic.
“Serious consequences”
The comment from WrathofKhan brings the topic of personal responsibility into the discussion. He points out that selfishness and lack of attention to the common good could worsen a new epidemic. Readers emphasize that society as a whole must join forces to overcome the challenges of a pandemic.
The comment from informed-griffon16 quotes the writer Erich Kästner and adds a philosophical perspective to the discussion. Many users take the quote as a reminder that uncertainties and risks are part of life. Some commentators argue that crises, pandemic or otherwise, will continue to be part of the human condition and that life itself will always involve some degree of risk.
What do you think of the experts’ fears? What impact would this epidemic have on Europe and Austria? And what should politicians do now? We look forward to hearing your arguments in the comments!
