Abstract EN

The COVID-19 pandemic was and remains the fact that will forever mark human life.

The damage presented by the spread of this virus can only be known or identified in the long term, by then the world is counting the health damage and loss to human sight without forgetting the impact on social and economic life.

However, it would be useful to recognize the unprecedented efforts of states to provide treatment and medical equipment for their citizens, emphasizing the humanitarian nature of every action.

A first analysis shows a huge paradox that we see when people die from COVID-19 a war has broken out between producers of black gold to sell the most oil even with very low prices in order to earn markets and may be targeting the economic collapse of a few countries.

This article provides a global analysis of the moral dimension in times of crisis with the case study COVID-19 and the oil price war that overshadowed the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic.
