We see that during the pandemic we need more hospital beds that might be efficient in more quiet situation. Struggling for efficiency we outsourced many essentials for our survival to Communists of China.
"The COVID-19 experience indicates that society could become more vulnerable to systemic shocks and cascading disruption if the practices on which it depends excessively prioritize system efficiency over resilience. Efficiency emphasizes performance at maximum capacity with minimal use of scarce resources. To meet the rising demands of society, efficiency-based approaches often rely on increasingly complex and interconnected systems. But when a tightly interdependent society encounters acute or chronic stressors beyond its expectations or operating capabilities, such highly efficient systems are prone to catastrophic failure that can delay or prevent recovery.
More-resilient systems might be less efficient, but they recover better from systemic disruptions. Building resilience does not mean abandoning efficiency, but rather maximizing socio-economic systems’ long-term sustainability in the face of future disruptions. Marrying resilience with efficiency would allow society to preserve or even improve living standards in current and future crises." [1]
