Everything is interconnected. Both opportunities and threats to life ought not to surprise. “In the Western hemisphere, we have…largely forgotten what entanglement with other species means.”
The pandemic may narrow the reading of “entanglement” as negative; yet, many microbes promote health. “We need to try and understand this virus as a newcomer in an existing panoply of creatures who are associated with us – some kill, yes, but many do not.” Indeed, “Covid-19 is teaching the human race important lessons.” Openness to learn is vital.

The coronavirus pandemic is highlighting in a new and acute way the vulnerability of the human race, and our interconnection with one another and with other creatures, something of which the poorest communities in the world are already well aware. https://t.co/T8dlKUFl9l— Thinking Faith (@ThinkingFaith) May 3, 2020
