In that vein of a competition for a cure...I was reminded of a very old text.
“The extent to which that competition is carried, whether by intensity or sophistication, determines the degree of complexity of the necessary laws; and the extent to which those laws are willingly accepted determines, no less, the degree of civilization of that society.”
Translated from Thales of Miletus,
circa 600 BC.
Thales was a Greek mathematician and astronomer. But his ability to observe the natural world informed his later role as a philosopher. This was before Socrates taught us how to think.
But I digress...healthy competition can lead to innovative breakthroughs. Sharing discoveries is a great help to generate the best vaccine and antiviral therapies targeting coronavirus.
