Unfortunately the current situation teaches us that when shit hit the fan hard, everyone is in it on his own. Now it's also well visible how stupid it was to move production of everything to China. For what is EU good for when it doesn't even have its own sources of strategic supplies? Medicines can't be produced without Chinese ingredients, protective stuff is produced in China (we have some local production but way too small for the current scale of things), supplies for massive disasters are non-existent and strategic transport ability of European NATO members is close to non-existent as well (when you look on the flightradar you see that the supplies come with private companies or with Chinese and Ukrainean cargo planes).

There is a lot to learn for the future and hopefully the lesson will be learned because a pandemic is not something unpredictable. It's bound to happen from time to time as it did through the entire history of the man kind.
