Abstract: In this article I focus on several dimensions of the pandemic in the Angloamerican world. In the first part I try to make a survey analysis of the Covid 19 epidemic burst in the USA and the United Kingdom, focusing on the specific traits in societal governance and reactions in society in figures. Second part is exploring some important aspects of coronaglobal crisis from the point of view of critical social explanation of the global risk society, risk definition and power. Modern institutions and their global interactions are unable to control effectively uncertainty and ambivalence which they are co-producing. Living in the global risk society creates rising uncertainty and vulnerability of powerless individuals who are disposed from the capacity to risk definition. In the third part I focus on the pandemic infection as a part of the global environmental crisis. Human health is a boundary sphere between humans and ecosystems. It is related to processes resulting from exploitation linked to privatisation, commodification, and weaponization.
