Lol, this is not the first time that are countries are helping each others. When such things as similar to this happens they always help out each other. So it is normal, all this while, why didn’t they all contribute to help countries with bad economy? All of them works towards their own needs of being a better and stronger country and being above others. So, the competition wouldn’t stop.
But, when there is an epidemic as bad as this, they will always be some countries coming together to help. I wish it was as you have imagined; if countries around the world would come together and work with each other and promote peace and unity, and try their best in making the world a better place for each other, and not just the government, including the people themselves. The rich should try to help the poor.
In-state relations or relations relating to state entities I agree with the opinion that "there are no eternal friends and opponents, only eternal interests"
Amid the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic, each country certainly has its own views on national stability. For the country, there is nothing that is important other than the sovereignty and safety of its citizens. Whether the cover in the form of humanitarian action or extreme responses such as the suspension of flights to China must be based on the national interests of a country.
With the coronavirus. Many countries should realize that technological progress is not only having a positive impact but also having a negative effect. Ease of transportation and supported by the ease of online applications, making the spread of the epidemic faster. The big picture that we can learn is that not everything is in human control. At present we are fixated on technological progress. We forget to prepare the system or do a simulation if there is a force major and we cannot rely on technology.
Early character education is needed. Because that character will influence decision making and how they react to an event. This happened in my country, the demand for masks to go to China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia was very high. The price of the mask which was originally only USD 2 / box is now USD 25 / box and prices go up every day. What I wonder about is the mask for humanity why there are people who hoard goods and raise prices beyond normal limits.
So not all countries are good at responding to corona outbreaks. Some even opportunists take advantage of the suffering of others. If character education is good opportunistic actions based on greed, it will never be a choice.
