This article deals with the relationship between the growing military and financial expenditures of the states and how this process led to the sacrifice of public policies, facilitating the spread of this pandemic throughout the world. All this results from the deepening of neoliberalism, which in a synchronized manner contributed to the process of privatization and dismantling of the public machinery. We point out that the wealthiest countries that have higher military spending experienced the highest number of deaths and infections. In this direction, we observe that the USA has the largest military expenditure on the planet, while the health sector is privatized, which makes it difficult to combat the covid 19. At the same time, we observe that part of the countries' public debt results from the effects of the 2008 crisis that used public money to save private enterprises while deepening the privatization of public services.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common term used to refer to disorders affecting the blood vessels or the heart that have led to the majority of deaths worldwide. Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore nurse's perception of their role and their experiences in relation to engaging with cardiovascular disease prevention in the primary care setting. Methods: In the selection of clinical nurses who were interested in primary care to participate, qualitative describing design and impracticable sampling were used. The data collection methods include semi-structured and one-on-one interviews. The results were analyzed by the methodology for qualitative content analysis. Results: In this study, 10 nurses were participated and their role in CVD prevention plays a part in health education, diagnosis and consultation, reassurance, monitoring of vital signs, and collecting blood samples. The challenges include cultural obstacles and vocabulary, negative attitudes, contradictory regulations, a lack of equipment, a shortage of nursing staff and the lack of knowledge and information. Electronic information, patient education, nurse training, and communication workshops are the facilitators for nurses that prevent heart disease. Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease is lethal, but adequate preventive programs can accommodate it. In addition, nurses play an important role in preventing CVD in primary healthcare and should therefore concentrate efforts on the enhancement of their capacity. The aim of future research should be to understand how patients interpret and incorporate data on the prevention of CVD provided by nurses.

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization of the services of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) played a fundamental role based on aspects such as the structuring of services and levels of health care, hiring and training of professionals, allocation of resources, as well as such as the offer and access to hospital beds. This essay seeks to discuss how the current dynamics of SUS in relation to the organization of services has influenced the performance of this system in coping with the pandemic of COVID-19.
