It’s a challenging period for us to be hopeful, but your words reminded me of being positive again.
Regarding the “unpredictability” of the pandemic, I’d suggest you to read Amitav Ghosh’s critical work ‘The Great Derangement’ and his novel ‘Gun Island.” Both criticize that what is unfolding around the planet has been regarded as “unpredictable,” but everything is more probable than ever. He’s a great writer and his words are very related to the connection between the climate change and global pandemic.
Thank you for writing!
