Abstract: Abstract The health emergency caused by the coronavirus and the subsequent economic and social upheaval inexorably throw us into a different era. The pandemic has accelerated a revolution that was already underway, involving sustainability and technological innovations, with disruptive consequences on the economy, society, politics and ethics. Many are the lessons to be learned. However, redefining new equilibria and eliminating the economic and social contagion generated by the pandemic will take much longer than the creation of the vaccine. The coronavirus pandemic marked the beginning of a long and difficult journey through uncharted and stormy waters. Our future largely depends on our ability to navigate through these perilous and treacherous currents. In order to successfully manage this difficult transition, confidence and vision are essential. And so is the ability to learn from the past and adapt to the new reality.
