If there was ever a time for the human race to work together as one, this is it. We are standing at the edge of a precipice that threatens the lives of millions, not just from Covid-19 but also from climate change. Clawing our way back to a safe place necessitates that humankind finds solutions that work for all of us.

We know full well this virus doesn’t stop at borders. It doesn’t care two hoots if you’re poor or rich or black or white. It doesn’t give a damn if you’re Chinese or American or Malaysian. The virus just cares for human cells, where it locks onto the ACE2 protein.
