Resumen
Covid-19 no es simplemente una amenaza nacional o regional, sino global. Requiere una acción coordinada de la comunidad global. Tal acción, como se argumenta en este documento, debe enfocarse principalmente en la pregunta de cómo prevenir la próxima pandemia. La humanidad ha sido advertida varias veces sobre enfermedades emergentes y los riesgos de pandemias, aunque no se han tomado respuestas preparatorias. Las intervenciones preventivas son posibles ya que se sabe cómo y dónde surgen las enfermedades infecciosas. Estas intervenciones se basan en la vulnerabilidad y la responsabilidad compartidas por la salud mundial. El hecho de que hayan sido inadecuadas hasta el momento puede considerarse como un grave fallo moral.
