The Mask Controversy: A Reflection on the Management of the Covid-19 Crisis

A Puzzling Situation

The scandal of the masks, whether via Koldo-Ábalos or via González-Ayuso, from my point of view, is just to turn your nose to the mess that was the management of the covid-19 crisis. I don’t know how far the thread will be stretched and how much we will end up knowing about the cases, although it seems that since the fire is crossed maybe something more will come out than usual; but although the money, in this case the money that we as citizens have lost with all this corruption, is very important, I am much more concerned about something else.

Prioritizing Economic Interests

To what extent has our health been put at risk or have aspects related to it been neglected in order for someone or someone else to make money – I insist that many -? In other words, in how many things and in what specific ways have medical needs and/or recommendations been put on the back burner in order to continue with the business. As for the masks, how many more days, than was recommended, have we worn them compulsorily? And don’t come at me now because it’s always recommended and it never hurts to be cautious!

Lack of Transparency and Responsibility

Forever more on the retina tattooed the images of the weekly press conferences with the military and the other crass nonsense that we attended as dumbfounded spectators. In fact, the fact that it was not known who were the experts advising the government was already a bad sign, because it not only went against what is usual and even mandatory in order to ensure expertise, but it made clear and very clear the anti-democratic opacity with which it acted and that it passed without more criticism than that which was drowned in a rude and grotesque way thanks to the doses of fear that were diligently instilled, from the government to the citizenship

The need for a detailed analysis

Pandemic days must be turbulent by definition; the days of the covid-19 pandemic in Spain were for much more than emergency medical reasons than those associated with an epidemic crisis. We are certainly not yet ready and prepared, although we should be, to do a dissection with a fine scalpel of everything that happened around the health crisis and we need to know as soon as possible. For two reasons: for the pocketbook, because it is just now starting to show how many people have become richer by impoverishing us all, and for health. In our world, one thing goes completely with the other and they don’t make a good couple.
