Coronavirus, travel, resilience and sustainability
In historical perspective, COVID-19 is a relatively minor, reasonably well understood threat, which should have taken years, not weeks, to spread around the world. It is 90% less lethal and likely less infectious than SARS was in 2003. Yet today’s level of mobility is orders of magnitude beyond the optimum for best resilience, mutual understanding, global governance - causing pollution, climate crisis, unnecessary pandemics and human suffering.
