Watch this documentary and add a post discussing an aspect of it. This can be based on your opinion, linked to the course content, other examples etc. These are some questions as a starting point.

First, for the EU, the coronavirus outbreak poses a great threat to member states’ belief about the EU. As the video mentions, the EU is known to be integrated, borderless IGOs. However, when it comes to situations like the virus outbreak, this integration seems fragile and superficial. They seek for national security rather than surviving as a united IGO. No country responding to Italy’s call for assistance shows such an integration was a fragile dream of EU but not a reality. I think after the outbreak, the public in each country would have more support towards political parties that argue isolation, leave from the EU as the public tangibly felt the weakness of the EU, which will further threatens EU’s integration.
