More than commerce. More than cross cultural marriage. More than global warming. More than any other factor pulling nation states together, is the Virus.
I’m a globalist. I believe globalism is an unstoppable force. Transportation, trade, and sheer curiosity are drawing all nations into a common union, just as the states of North America became, in time, the United States.
The Virus is hastening this global union. The Virus rides on our border-crossing planes. It infects people without regard to race or tongue. It kills indiscriminately, turning a blind eye to nationality. The Virus demonstrates our shared vulnerability.
The solutions to Covid-19 are likewise global. Masking, distancing and quarantine are universally effective defenses against our common foe. We heal the fallen with oxygen and medicines. We kill our foe with vaccination.
Success depends on cooperation. We will win this war together. Or we will lose it on our own.
We are one people. One species. One earth. There are no nations under the Virus. There is only one world we all share.
We are in this struggle together. We will prevail.
— Nelsonia
We must recognize this truth not only to defeat the virus but also to heal our earth and mankind!
Agreed! There are plenty of other environmental threats out there. The Virus is the most urgent and important global threat that we face. Global warming also threatens humanity, but it’s not urgent like the Virus. In another year or so the Virus will probably be under control. Then we can turn our attention back to global warming and other pressing environmental issues.
