A new world after the coronavirus? Everyone thinks about it but not always in the same way. The subscribers to the social networks of RFI expressed themselves with seriousness, commitment and also imagination.

Some remain concerned like VLG Manasse on Facebook who writes: "  After the pandemic there will be a global economic crisis which will not say its real name which is moreover predictable. WHO will have to explain to us, moreover, why it did not quickly declare Covid-19 a global health emergency like Ebola?  "According to U Mankondo"  The world is on its knees, the Covid-19 leaves the world economy in jeopardy . "

But it is the health systems that stir the spirits. According to @ MMartin1: "  I think that after the pandemic the world will be new, because each country will think of building hospitals and raising the health system to standards for fear of being hit again. The population will keep the hygiene measures forever.  "Like @ Dante922:"  We will see an increase in investments in public infrastructure, especially in health, transport, services . "

It is a feeling of great fragility in the face of the pandemic which is emerging among many Internet users, thus according to Souchet OH: “  The coronavirus shows us how fragile our existence is on this earth. One person was enough to destroy humanity.  "And Étienne R"  After this pandemic we have to understand that weapons must be silent. There has to be a restoration of living conditions. The worst is still there, it is always in nature (forest, lakes, river, air ...).  "While according to Gédéon KG"  I hope that after this pandemic, everyone can consider the true value of human life which could never be exchanged for material goods!  "

Many wish a new impulse of solidarity towards more equality like Moisekolie “  After Covid-19, I wish to see a world of solidarity, because this pandemic of coronavirus has hurt us all.  "Or Donald Tessier"  We must recognize that the world is a small point, where all people are. It should also be noted that all people regardless of their color are equal. It should also be stressed that the disease has no borders, does not know social rank.  "And AndyK"  Let everyone understand that everything is vanity, we are all equal.  "Or abdoulmouminimo"  Lesson to be learned: the Coronavirus has shown that all human beings are equal. Poor, rich, yellow, black, white, red, religious, scientific ... All are afraid of him.  "

With ecology and respect for the environment in everyone's mind. According to J Daganon “  This pandemic has come to remind us that there is no other place to live except Earth, so let's protect it by changing our behavior for our survival.  WOuattara added: "  I would like that, after this health crisis, human beings learn to love nature better, to know that we much more need a healthy and balanced environment.  "According to DelRené"  What we all need and for the good of all, is first to live in harmony with nature.  "And Baderh to write:"  In two months of confinement, nature will resume its form ... less pollution, access to clean water from springs ... man should rather learn a lesson about his interests linked to this nature.  "

“  African leaders must improve the health and well-being of people.  "

Africa is a very important subject for our subscribers. What the coronavirus will bring about as a change on the continent, an important concern in their comments: Serge CK “  After the coronavirus, African leaders must be aware of improving hospitals and schools, because if it had happened first in on the African continent they would be the first to go to Europe with their families to take care of themselves. What I would most like in our lives is to live together to go further . "
Sellon Fabien B"  I believe that after Covid-19 African leaders must be aware of the seriousness of the facts and are thinking of improving the health conditions and well-being of people.  "Ou Boh LT"  I wish a fair and equitable world, that our African countries strengthen health systems to be able to satisfy our populations . "Vann K"  My wish is that the big powers understand that we are all equal, and that African leaders realize that they are building the structures of their countries well . "And Tierso THM"  The world will change ... Africans will understand that using western health technology often does not guarantee anything.  "

Of national changes but also personal , pandemic shakes minds. Some write to us with a lot of philosophy . Each comment is personal and judicious as adher C “Primarily  this Covid-19 virus taught me that from one moment to another everything can change and we must learn to live in the present time and not in the future. Now if I have a plan I will do my best to carry it out immediately without waiting for the next day.  "Or Mam MM"  This virus taught me patience and modesty. Learn to live for yourself and not for the eyes of others. Especially to become a better person . "

The change for each and everyone explains Visaintebenitto: “  The will must be political and then citizen. ..all is still possible it is not yet late ...  "Supported by isisOms:"  Let's change mindsets first . "And SeraphinMA:"  This pandemic presented the world to us as we must see it from now on without stereotypes.  "

There are real philosophers among our subscribers like Mister_clean: “  The Covid-19 makes me much more lovable, because life ultimately is nothing.  And we will conclude with the images of Zzboyof to describe the current situation: "  Humans are difficult to train. Certainly a new world is necessary, but it will be necessary to maintain the slope so as not to return to the pit. Otherwise this new world will remain identical, but just with more accumulated fear and caution . "
