    I was just looking for something and came upon this tweet of mine, from the day Wuhan shut down.😢 “It really is one interconnected system. We desperately need governments that can manage all this, or we’re all going down.” 😢😢😢https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1220061891613073409 …

    So yeah, there are a lot of tensions with China—and some good reasons for it. On the other hand, from the economy to the climate to pandemics, it really is one interconnected system. We desperately need governments that can manage all this, or we’re all going down.

        The question can ones country weather the isolated period. I’m willing to roll the dice on America. Are other countries willing to take the same risk? Those are the basics of geopolitics. Risk vs reward.

        Would I sound pessimistic if I suggested 'we're going down'? But they thought that in 1919, and apart from a Great Depression and World War Two, nothing significant happened. Seriously, @TheCICTO webinar today noted that the Spanish Influenza vanished from human memory by 1920.

        We wanted globalization but refused to pay the price for it. The Arab Spring causes immigration waves towards European cities, Russia-Ukraine conflict affects US presidential impeachment and a traditional food market in China causes a pandemic that destabilizes the world economy.

        Indigenous North Americans paid the price for the arrival of Europeans when they were decimated by small pox. It’s probably the biggest reason why Europeans were able to colonize North America.

        I believed that this would be like the SARS issue. That it's not going to be a problem. I understand the way governments develop biological systems that are potentially dangerous. Since Unit 731 onwards they've been doing this research. And sometimes there's a breakdown. And boom
