What is health after the covid 19 pandemic?
We had been taught that health is physical, psychological, and social well-being, but this is a very ambiguous definition since what is well-being for some is discomfort for others, in a society that has experienced globalization since the discovery of America, Well-being is linked to technological and scientific development when before, health was a state of grace given by some god, our ancestors, or a possibility created by a king or ruler.
Today, when for the first time in history, all human beings are experiencing a pandemic in real-time, that is, we knew who, when, where, and why, any human being on the planet was getting sick or dying, at the same moment After this event happened, health came to think that it was getting vaccinated, living a quarantine or social distancing, complying to the letter with what a ruler or the WHO, the World Health Organization, the Food and Drug Administration said. Drugs from the United States or Europe, or simply save yourself from dying.
Based on these events, today we can change the definition of health and recognize that health is a conscious personal experience that allows a person, animal, plant, or life form to be born, grow, reproduce and die, after fulfilling a genetically programmed existence, or by your genes.
The disease is, on the contrary, not able to live as long as it should according to its genetics, autonomously, in most of its biological functions, in a natural or artificial environment.
But also health has become the firm opposition to death or prostration. This opposition is no longer only to natural death, but to the death caused by an individual but even of species.
This is because the cause of mass deaths now is due to wars, diseases, natural and social catastrophes, climate change, the extinction of species on this planet, violence in all its manifestations, including the agricultural frontier, or industrial contamination.
In other words, health has become a personal experience that allows human beings to oppose death, in whatever way it comes,
The human being has also ceased to exist only as a biological life form, it also lives as ideas, writings, thoughts, songs, books, photos, videos, INTERNET, today it is perpetual memory, frozen sperm or ovules, frozen fetuses, works of art, architecture, inventions, discoveries inside and outside the planet Earth, that is, the human being has a tangible life and an intangible life.
Thus, health is no longer just something tangible, it is also something intangible, which allows the human being to overcome the barriers of time, distance, and deterioration.
