У цій статті пропонується трансскалярне пояснення толерантності до ризику пандемії: прийнятність ризику в разі біологічних загроз формується шляхом узгодженості (або неузгодженості) окремого «кризового менеджера» («спільноти Я») із соціальним, національним та глобальним рівнями управління. Ми реалізуємо цю узгодженість через три взаємодіючі механізми — практику обробки даних, соціальні детермінанти здоров’я та нормативно-правові режими (конституційні повноваження Всесвітньої організації охорони здоров’я, Міжнародні медико-санітарні правила та проєкт Угоди про пандемію) і показуємо, як за різних комбінацій можливостей та підзвітності ризики переміщуються між категоріями прийнятних, терпимих та неприйнятних. Розглядаючи COVID-19 у контексті попередніх пандемій, можна простежити, як докризові ресурси, доступ до медичної допомоги, потоки інформації, що враховують рівність, та політичні рішення (зокрема, обмеження на пересування, управління ланцюгами поставок і публічні комунікації) впливають на пережитий досвід та здатність до подолання труднощів. Важливо, що на перший план висунуто людську діяльність: ті самі системи, що захищають, також можуть створювати й посилювати біологічні загрози — через небезпечні дослідницькі практики, використання озброєння, провали в управлінні або непрозору звітність, у такий спосіб змінюючи пороги толерантності в режимі реального часу. Цей внесок являє собою інтегровану структуру, що поєднує індивідуальне управління кризами із загальносуспільними й міжнародними інструментами, із зазначенням, як підзвітність, прозорість та єдність зусиль перетворюються на пропорційний контроль. Якщо добробут є правом, тоді толерантність до ризику має бути колективною метою, якої слід досягати завдяки узгодженій політиці, практиці громадського здоров’я та інклюзивним системам даних, що можуть утримувати ризик для населення в межах допустимих значень на всіх рівнях.
This paper advances a trans-scalar account of pandemic risk tolerability: the acceptability of risk in biological hazards is constructed by the alignment (or misalignment) of the individual “crisis manager” (the “Community of I”) with social, national, and global governance. We operationalise this alignment through three interacting mechanisms — data practices, social determinants of health, and legal-institutional regimes (WHO constitutional authorities, International Health Regulations, and the draft Pandemic Agreement) and show how, under different combinations of capacity and accountability, risks move between acceptable, tolerable, and intolerable categories. Reading COVID-19 alongside earlier pandemics, we trace how pre-crisis endowments, access to healthcare, equity-attentive information flows, and policy choices (including restrictions on movement, supply-chain management, and public communication) shape lived exposure and coping capacity. Crucially, we foreground human agency: the same systems that protect can also create and compound biological hazards — through dangerous research practices, weaponisation, governance failures, or opaque reporting — thereby reconfiguring tolerability thresholds in real time. The contribution is an integrated framework that links individual crisis management to whole-of-society and international instruments, specifying how accountability, transparency, and unity of effort translate into proportionate control. If wellbeing is a right, then tolerability of risk must be a collective goal pursued through coherent policy, public-health practice, and inclusive data systems capable of keeping population risk within tolerable bounds across levels.
