Key lessons from the pandemic
What the coronavirus pandemic teaches us: Key lessons from the pandemic
Ignoring, denying, and/or overruling science is disastrous.
In a crisis, there is no substitute for collective action directed and mandated by an effective national government.
There is no solution which does not involve every one of us, from elected officials to ordinary citizens.
These lessons apply equally to mankind’s responses to pandemics, to climate change, and to environmental degradation. Any new normal we create must incorporate the three insights if there is to be a continued human presence on Earth.
