In fact, Hegel was trained to be a pastor but he left that course and became a philosopher.
At that time also the religious masses perhaps were not caring the state controls to save themselves. He conjoined State with God which no religious person or preacher would accept.
It was a blasphemic statement. But Hegel wanted them to understand the role of strong state in difficult situations. He thought that his German rulers were not strong enough hence he wanted Napoleon to take over Germany. But we are living in times that democracy is a dominant political system where discussion, consultation and policy formulation even to tackle pandemic situations would play a better role than dictatorship. People must be sensitive enough to understand the importance of public health than that of individual pleasure or rights in times of pandemics.
Buddhism always remained a different entity without pushing itself into fundamentalism at any time in its existential long history. Its only fundamentalist tendency was maintaining all male Sangha system in the modern times. But by and large the states where Buddhism is dominant religion, there the religion functions under the guidance of state laws as religious congregations were never critical to that religion. Socialism and semi-socialism are the main socio-political structure in these Far Eastern Buddhist nations, except Japan.
The notion of God in those countries is focused in the image of Buddha or on their ancestors. At a time when Coronavirus is waging a war on global humanity, there are billions who still believe that God, Allah or Eswar will save people from coronavirus in Hindu, Muslims and Christian religious nations and they do not have to care for the state, doctors and medicine.
Many of them do not want to practice Disease Distancing I am against using the phrase Social Distancing in the markets and at home. Particularly some religious communities like Muslims believe in herded mass prayer life. They normally organize religious congregations with huge number of people at the religious spaces. Many Muslim countries have not adopted democracy where debate and expert opinion does not play any role in decision making on health issues. Sometimes, they use Quoranic injunctions to pass decrees.
In many Muslim countries monarchies or dictatorships are handling power at the time of coronoacorona pandemic attack. Social science and medical science discourses have not acquired much place in those countries. The social science, natural science and medical science developmental discourse in the country came under cloud.
Investment in the sciences—social, natural and medical—got reduced drastically. They started treating the ancient texts as ready made answer books like the Quran in the Muslim world even on medical issues. Corona pandemic suddenly intervened into this process of change from democratic to theocratic state in India. No nuclear war can shake the whole world at once like the coronavirus was able to do. The virus has attacked the world in the thick of the right-wing spiritual religious ideology-based forces took control of many nation- States.
Hence there is a confused handling of virus. The response to Corona pandemic was not based on science and technology. The Muslim world has been depending more on Allah than on state, doctor and medicine even in times of corona attack. Many Muslim countries have not focused on medical infrastructure at all.
The Hindutva forces in India are spreading superstition and myth as source of state power and kept the morale of Indian scientists and doctors at low by the time the virus spread in March Babas and yogis became Chief Ministers and most Hindutvawadis are more baba worshipers than God worshipers.

The Indian secular State was transformed into baba state and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hanging between astrology and science. Some astrologer must have told him that number 9 works like an anti-corona vaccine. The Indian PM while ruling 1. An individual can rely on belief and faith and face the consequence as an individual but the state must be a an embodiment of Reason as Hegel wanted it to be.
Modi and his team have been attacking Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, who believed in reason and science as the foundation of modern Indian democratic secular state.
If only that beginning was not made in the s India would have been a hot bed of superstition and ignorance. Ambedkar it does not believe in the rational state that he advocated for. Even the Christian world where secularism and rationality gained ground over a period of time went back into more fundamentalist beliefs where Pentecostal spirits not Jesus started dominating by the time corona landed in the West from China.
America had to arrest pastors who refused to lock down churches. The case of a Muslim Mullah international conference organized at Delhi from 13 January to 16, which spread the virus across India that was contracted by the native Muslims from the air traveled foreign Mullahs is case in point. At Ayodhya on Sriramnavami marriage celebration Sriram with Sita massive gathering on 2 nd April was planned by Yogi Adityanath but that had to be forcefully stopped by Modi Government.
There is an international guiding body called the United Nations Organization and its health wing, World Health Organization, to guide people on protection of health through modern medical science practices now. The guide lines are coming from there. But each state has to implement those guidelines with a scientific temper.
Religious fundamentalists do not bother about the medical science and many of them are ready to die in the name of God, Allah or Eswar. It kills many people who want to live and depend on reason and medicine.
