        Not dissimilar to what we see with NCDs - corporates & governments pushing the line that diseases like obesity & tooth decay are a failure of individual responsibility, rather than acknowledging the commercial & social determinants & adopting appropriate upstream measures.

        Some people require an organized and coordinated response. That’s what government agencies are for. Like you can’t expect people to get their rifles, naturally band together and march into battle to defend their country. That’s what pandemic response without gov org is.

        You can't even nag people into eating a somewhat better diet without changing their environment And now a lot of countries in Europe think that they can nag people into doing things that impact their way of life a lot more and, in general, their own health less

        Pandemics by their very nature can only be addressed through collective action.

        Individual #responsibility can be very important to slow down the #epidemics but not enough to control the epidemics, particularly in high #density and high #mobility areas... 🧐#covid19

        Switzerland is then the poster child: we relied almost on *nothing else* than personal responsability.

        Funny to rely on personal responsability which implies a deep sense of community, empathy and strong sense of inter generational solidarity. The exact opposite of what our western societies are. Sorry but the writing was on the wall.
