Abstract
Nation states have taken the brunt of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The effectiveness of their actions was assessed by all the society in terms of growth rates of infected and deaths, of ability to quickly mobilize all medical services to work in extreme conditions, to increase the capacity of hospitals, of additional medical equipment, of laboratories' capacities and the availability of tests for COVID-19, not to mention the research the vaccine or effective means of treating the disease, etc. In addition, they introduced extreme regimes of lockdowns, having blocked the economy and social interconnections and given rise to an acute problem of the disadvantaged citizens' survival. The great question arose of who should have taken responsibility for missed opportunities. It is unreasonable to blame only the state because it has no alternative today. It is the weakest “link” in the structural “chain” of national societies, but by strengthening it, the entire chain becomes stronger to prevent future disasters.
