I am not supposed to deal with current events on this blog, but since the coronavirus panic may be the biggest plague in decades, or even centuries, I would like to write about the corona in order to write down what I was thinking in the midst of this unprecedented panic.
I'm not writing down my expertise, much less my deep insights. I'm going to be a bit critical, but I want to go ahead and note that there is no malice.
My concern, more than the coronavirus itself, is that many people are expecting too much from the government and central agencies in their operations.
To begin with, while I am for and against politics and government in each case, I don't have too high an expectation of government.
I only see TV at gyms(before rockdown), mainly online news, but of course there is a lot of discussion about how the government is responding to the situation.
In the midst of the many pros and cons of the response, it seems to me that many people are assuming that governments and central agencies have room to operate efficiently and are capable of responding to problems based on their absolute power, but that they are not doing so.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm not criticizing either the government or its critics, but I know empirically that in the first place, an organization can't operate efficiently with a larger total number of stakeholders, and I'm sure the rest of us, or more to the point, those who criticize it, know empirically
I wonder if the many communities they have been or currently belong to are acting optimally.
It's true that people at Google and other companies that have the most advanced and elite people are trying to streamline their daily operations as much as possible, and they are the only people around them, so I can understand the doubts about inefficient operations, but even so, if you don't realize that this is not the case for the majority of organizations in the world, I think you lack imagination. (You wouldn't be so lucky if you've been living in a community where there are only good people around you all your life. If there is such a person, I think they should be silent in this situation.)
Much more so in an organization such as the government, which is the empowerment of a mass of interested parties. There is no guarantee that something like "central government power" can be put to good use. Nor is it a reasonable criticism to say that decision-making is slow because there are too many stakeholders.
To reiterate, is it really appropriate to take a look at the organizations around you and develop them on a national level, and then take up and denounce every single one of the government's responses? Although there is a lot of criticism that the government should compensate for the economic losses, or state what should be done, I think it is unrealistically impossible from an organizational standpoint to take a comprehensive response to all stakeholders in the midst of unexpected events.
