coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the second severe acute respiratory syndrome virus
since 2002, is now officially a pandemic. As of late March, whole cities are
sheltered in place and, one by one, hospitals are lighting up in medical
gridlock brought about by surges in patients.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">China, its initial outbreak in
contraction, presently breathes easier.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>1</sup></a>
South Korea and Singapore as well. Europe, especially Italy and Spain, but increasingly
other countries, already bends under the weight of deaths still early in the
outbreak. Latin America and Africa are only now beginning to accumulate cases,
some countries preparing better than others. In the United States, a bellwether
if only as the richest country in the history of the world, the near future
looks bleak. The outbreak is not slated to peak stateside until May and already
health care workers and hospital visitors are fist fighting over access to the
dwindling supply of personal protection equipment.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>2</sup></a>
Nurses, to whom the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) has
appallingly recommended using bandanas and scarves as masks, have already
declared that “the system is doomed.”<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>3</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

continues to outbid individual states for basic medical equipment that it
refused to purchase for them in the first place. It has also announced a border
crackdown as a public health intervention while the virus rages on ill-addressed
inside the country.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>4</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

College projected that the best campaign in <i>mitigation</i>—flattening the
plotted curve of accumulating cases by quarantining detected cases and socially
distancing the elderly—would still leave the United States with 1.1 million
dead and a case burden eight times the country’s total critical care beds.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>5</sup></a>
Disease <i>suppression</i>, looking to end the outbreak, would take public
health further into a China-style case (and family member) quarantine and community-wide
distancing, including closing down institutions. That would bring the United
States down to a projected range of around 200,000 deaths.<span></span></span></p>

a successful campaign in suppression would have to be pursued for at least
eighteen months, carrying an overhead in economic contraction and decay in
community services. The team proposed balancing the demands of disease control
and economy by toggling in and out of community quarantine, as triggered by a
set level of critical care beds filled.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Other modelers have pushed back. A
group led by Nassim Taleb of <i>Black Swan</i> fame declares the Imperial
College model fails to include contact tracing and door-to-door monitoring.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>6</sup></a>
Their counterpoint misses that the outbreak has broken past many governments’
willingness to engage that kind of <i>cordon sanitaire</i>. It will not be
until the outbreak begins its decline when many countries will view such
measures, hopefully with a functional and accurate test, as appropriate. As one
droll put it: “Coronavirus is too radical. America needs a more moderate virus
that we can respond to incrementally.”<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>7</sup></a><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The Taleb group notes the Imperial
team’s refusal to investigate under what conditions the virus can be driven to
extinction. Such extirpation does not mean zero cases, but enough isolation
that single cases are not likely to produce new chains of infection. Only 5
percent of susceptibles in contact with a case in China were subsequently
infected. In effect, the Taleb team favors China’s suppression program, going
all out fast enough to drive the outbreak to extinction without getting into a
marathon dance toggling between disease control and ensuring the economy no
labor shortage. In other words, China’s strict (and resource-intensive)
approach frees its population from the months-long—or even
years-long—sequestration in which the Imperial team recommends other countries
partake.<span></span></span></p>

Wallace, one of us, overturns the modeling table entirely. Modeling
emergencies, however necessary, miss when and where to begin. Structural causes
are as much part of the emergency. Including them helps us figure out how best
to respond moving forward beyond just restarting the economy that produced the
damage. “If firefighters are given sufficient resources,” writes Wallace,<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">under normal conditions, most fires,
most often, can be contained with minimal casualties and property destruction.
However, that containment is critically dependent on a far less romantic, but
no less heroic enterprise, the persistent, ongoing, regulatory efforts that
limit building hazard through code development and enforcement, and that also
ensure firefighting, sanitation, and building preservation resources are supplied
to all at needed levels.…<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Context counts for pandemic
infection, and current political structures that allow multinational
agricultural enterprises to privatize profits while externalizing and
socializing costs, must become subject to “code enforcement” that
reinternalizes those costs if truly mass-fatal pandemic disease is to be
avoided in the near future.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>8</sup></a><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The failure to prepare for and react
to the outbreak did not just start in December when countries around the world
failed to respond once COVID-19 spilled out of Wuhan. In the United States, for
instance, it did not start when Donald Trump dismantled his national security
team’s pandemic preparation team or left seven hundred CDC positions unfilled.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>9</sup></a>
Nor did it start when feds failed to act on the results of a 2017 pandemic
simulation showing the country was unprepared.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>10</sup></a>
Nor when, as stated in a <i>Reuters</i> headline, the United States “axed CDC
expert job in China months before virus outbreak,” although missing the early
direct contact from a U.S. expert on the ground in China certainly weakened the
U.S. response. Nor did it start with the unfortunate decision not to use the
already available test kits provided by the World Health Organization.
Together, the delays in early information and total miss in testing will
undoubtedly be responsible for many, probably thousands, of lost lives.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>11</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

programmed decades ago as the shared commons of public health were
simultaneously neglected and monetized.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>12</sup></a>
A country captured by a regimen of individualized, just-in-time epidemiology—an
utter contradiction—with barely enough hospital beds and equipment for normal
operations, is by definition unable to marshal the resources necessary to
pursue a China brand of suppression.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Following up the Taleb team’s point
about model strategies in more explicitly political terms, disease ecologist
Luis Fernando Chaves, another coauthor of this article, references dialectical
biologists Richard Levins and Richard Lewontin to concur that “letting the
numbers speak” only masks all the assumptions folded in beforehand.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>13</sup></a>
Models such as the Imperial study explicitly limit the scope of analysis to
narrowly tailored questions framed within the dominant social order. By design,
they fail to capture the broader market forces driving outbreaks and the
political decisions underlying interventions.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Consciously or not, the resulting
projections set securing health for all in second place, including the many
thousands of the most vulnerable who would be killed should a country toggle
between disease control and the economy. The Foucaultian vision of a state
acting on a population in its own interests only represents an update, albeit a
more benign one, of the Malthusian push for herd immunity that Britain’s Tory
government and now the Netherlands proposed—letting the virus burn through the
population unimpeded.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>14</sup></a>
There is little evidence beyond an ideological hope that herd immunity would
guarantee stopping the outbreak. The virus may readily evolve out from
underneath the population’s immune blanket.<span></span></span></p>

old-school antimalarial chloroquine (and any other drugs that appear promising)
while we conduct clinical trials testing whether they work beyond the
laboratory.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>19</sup></a>
A planning system should be implemented to (1) force companies to produce the
needed ventilators and personal protection equipment required by health care
workers and (2) prioritize allocation to places with the greatest needs.<span></span></span></p>

corps to provide the work force—from research to care—that approaches the order
of demand the virus (and any other pathogen to come) is placing on us. Match
the caseload with the number of critical care beds, staffing, and equipment necessary
so that suppression can bridge the present numbers gap. In other words, we
cannot accept the idea of merely surviving COVID-19’s ongoing air attack only
to return later to contact tracing and case isolation to drive the outbreak
below its threshold. We must hire enough people to identify COVID-19
home-by-home right now and equip them with the needed protective gear, such as
adequate masks. Along the way, we need to suspend a society organized around
expropriation, from landlords up through sanctions on other countries, so that
people can survive both the disease and its cure.<span></span></span></p>

implemented, however, the greater populace is left largely abandoned. Even as
continued pressure must be brought to bear on recalcitrant governments, in the
spirit of a largely lost tradition in proletarian organizing going back 150
years, everyday people who are able should join emerging mutual aid groups and
neighborhood brigades.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>20</sup></a>
Professional public health staff that unions can spare should train these
groups to keep acts of kindness from spreading the virus.<span></span></span></p>

normalizing the “batshit crazy” presently underway, a serendipitous
characterization given the syndrome that patients suffer—proverbial bat shit in
the lungs. We need to retain the shock we received when we learned another SARS
virus emerged out of its wildlife refugia and in a matter of eight weeks
splattered itself across humanity.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>21</sup></a>
The virus emerged at one terminus of a regional supply line in exotic foods,
successfully setting off a human-to-human chain of infections at the other end
in Wuhan, China.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>22</sup></a>
>From there, the outbreak both diffused locally and hopped onto planes and
trains, spreading out across the globe through a web structured by travel
connections and down a hierarchy from larger to smaller cities.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>23</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

market in the typical orientalism, little effort has been expended on the most
obvious of questions. How did the exotic food sector arrive at a standing where
it could sell its wares alongside more traditional livestock in the largest
market in Wuhan? The animals were not being sold off the back of a truck or in
an alleyway. Think of the permits and payments (and deregulation thereof)
involved.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>24</sup></a>
Well beyond fisheries, worldwide wild food is an increasingly formalized
sector, evermore capitalized by the same sources backing industrial production.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>25</sup></a>
Although nowhere near similar in the magnitude of output, the distinction is
now more opaque.<span></span></span></p>

extends back from the Wuhan market to the hinterlands where exotic and
traditional foods are raised by operations bordering the edge of a contracting
wilderness.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>26</sup></a>
As industrial production encroaches on the last of the forest, wild food
operations must cut farther in to raise their delicacies or raid the last
stands. As a result, the most exotic of pathogens, in this case bat-hosted
SARS-2, find their way onto a truck, whether in food animals or the labor
tending them, shotgun from one end of a lengthening periurban circuit to the
other before hitting the world stage.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>27</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

centers of production. Foodborne bacteria such as <i>Salmonella</i> and <i>Campylobacter</i>
come to mind. But many like COVID-19 originate on the frontiers of capital
production. Indeed, at least 60 percent of novel human pathogens emerge by
spilling over from wild animals to local human communities (before the more
successful ones spread to the rest of the world).<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>28</sup></a><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">A number of luminaries in the field
of ecohealth, some funded in part by Colgate-Palmolive and Johnson &
Johnson, companies driving the bleeding edge of agribusiness-led deforestation,
produced a global map based on previous outbreaks back to 1940 intimating where
new pathogens are likely to emerge moving forward.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>29</sup></a>
The warmer the color on the map, the more likely a new pathogen should emerge
there. But in confusing such <i>absolute geographies</i>, the team’s map—red
hot in China, India, Indonesia, and parts of Latin America and Africa—missed a
critical point. Focusing on outbreak zones ignores the relations shared by
global economic actors that shape epidemiologies.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>30</sup></a>
The capital interests backing development- and production-induced changes in
land use and disease emergence in underdeveloped parts of the globe reward
efforts that pin responsibility for outbreaks on indigenous populations and
their so-deemed “dirty” cultural practices.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>31</sup></a>
Prepping bushmeat and home burials are two practices blamed for the emergence
of new pathogens. Plotting <i>relational geographies</i>, in contrast, suddenly
turns New York, London, and Hong Kong, key sources of global capital, into
three of the world’s worst hotspots instead.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Outbreak zones meanwhile are no
longer even organized under traditional polities. Unequal ecological
exchange—redirecting the worst damage from industrial agriculture to the Global
South—has moved out of solely stripping localities of resources by state-led
imperialism and into new complexes across scale and commodity.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>32</sup></a>
Agribusiness is reconfiguring their extractivist operations into spatially
discontinuous networks across territories of differing scales.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>33</sup></a>
A series of multinational-based “Soybean Republics,” for instance, now range
across Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. The new geography is embodied
by changes in company management structure, capitalization, subcontracting,
supply chain substitutions, leasing, and transnational land pooling.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>34</sup></a>
In straddling national borders, these “commodity countries,” flexibly embedded
across ecologies and political borders, are producing new epidemiologies along
the way.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>35</sup></a><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">For instance, despite a general
shift in population from commoditized rural areas to urban slums that continues
today across the globe, the rural-urban divide driving much of the discussion
around disease emergence misses rural-destined labor and the rapid growth of
rural towns into periurban <i>desakotas</i> (city villages) or <i>zwischenstadt</i>
(in-between cities). Mike Davis and others have identified how these newly
urbanizing landscapes act as both local markets and regional hubs for global
agricultural commodities passing through.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>36</sup></a>
Some such regions have even gone “post-agricultural.”<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>37</sup></a>
As a result, forest disease dynamics, the pathogens’ primeval sources, are no
longer constrained to the hinterlands alone. Their associated epidemiologies
have themselves turned relational, felt across time and space. A SARS can
suddenly find itself spilling over into humans in the big city only a few days
out of its bat cave.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Ecosystems in which such “wild”
viruses were in part controlled by the complexities of the tropical forest are
being drastically streamlined by capital-led deforestation and, at the other
end of periurban development, by deficits in public health and environmental
sanitation.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>38</sup></a>
While many sylvatic pathogens are dying off with their host species as a
result, a subset of infections that once burned out relatively quickly in the
forest, if only by an irregular rate of encountering their typical host
species, are now propagating across susceptible human populations whose
vulnerability to infection is often exacerbated in cities by austerity programs
and corrupted regulation. Even in the face of efficacious vaccines, the
resulting outbreaks are characterized by greater extent, duration, and
momentum. What were once local spillovers are now epidemics trawling their way
through global webs of travel and trade.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>39</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

in the environmental background alone—old standards such as Ebola, Zika,
malaria, and yellow fever, evolving comparatively little, have all made sharp
turns into regional threats.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>40</sup></a>
They have suddenly moved from spilling over into remote villagers now and again
to infecting thousands in capital cities. In something of the other ecological
direction, even wild animals, routinely longtime disease reservoirs, are
suffering blowback. Their populations fragmented by deforestation, native New
World monkeys susceptible to wildtype yellow fever, to which they had been
exposed for at least a hundred years, are losing their herd immunity and dying

commodity agriculture serves as both propulsion for and nexus through which
pathogens of diverse origins migrate from the most remote reservoirs to the
most international of population centers.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>42</sup></a>
It is here, and along the way, where novel pathogens infiltrate agriculture’s
gated communities. The lengthier the associated supply chains and the greater
the extent of adjunct deforestation, the more diverse (and exotic) the zoonotic
pathogens that enter the food chain. Among recent emergent and reemergent farm
and foodborne pathogens, originating from across the anthropogenic domain, are
African swine fever, <i>Campylobacter</i>, <i>Cryptosporidium</i>, <i>Cyclospora</i>,
Ebola Reston, <i>E. coli</i> O157:H7, foot-and-mouth disease, hepatitis E, <i>Listeria</i>,
Nipah virus, Q fever, <i>Salmonella</i>, <i>Vibrio</i>, <i>Yersinia</i>, and a
variety of novel influenza variants, including H1N1 (2009), H1N2v, H3N2v, H5N1,
H5N2, H5Nx, H6N1, H7N1, H7N3, H7N7, H7N9, and H9N2.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>43</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

the production line is organized around practices that accelerate the evolution
of pathogen virulence and subsequent transmission.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>44</sup></a>
Growing genetic monocultures—food animals and plants with nearly identical
genomes—removes immune firebreaks that in more diverse populations slow down
transmission.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>45</sup></a>
Pathogens now can just quickly evolve around the commonplace host immune
genotypes. Meanwhile, crowded conditions depress immune response.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>46</sup></a>
Larger farm animal population sizes and densities of factory farms facilitate
greater transmission and recurrent infection.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>47</sup></a>
High throughput, a part of any industrial production, provides a continually
renewed supply of susceptibles at barn, farm, and regional levels, removing the
cap on the evolution of pathogen deadliness.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>48</sup></a>
Housing a lot of animals together rewards those strains that can burn through
them best. Decreasing the age of slaughter—to six weeks in chickens—is likely
to select for pathogens able to survive more robust immune systems.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>49</sup></a>
Lengthening the geographic extent of live animal trade and export has increased
the diversity of genomic segments that their associated pathogens exchange,
increasing the rate at which disease agents explore their evolutionary
possibilities.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>50</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

forward in all these ways, there is, however, little to no intervention, even
at the industry’s own demand, save what is required to rescue any one quarter’s
fiscal margins from the sudden emergency of an outbreak.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>51</sup></a>
The trend tends toward fewer government inspections of farms and processing
plants, legislation <i>against</i> government surveillance and activist exposé,
and legislation against even reporting on the specifics of deadly outbreaks in
media outlets. Despite recent court victories against pesticide and hog
pollution, the private command of production remains entirely focused on
profit. The damages caused by the outbreaks that result are externalized to
livestock, crops, wildlife, workers, local and national governments, public
health systems, and alternate agrosystems abroad as a matter of national
priority. In the United States, the CDC reports foodborne outbreaks are
expanding in the numbers of states impacted and people infected.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>52</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

parsing out in pathogens’ favor. While the public interest is filtered out at
the farm and food factory gate, pathogens bleed past the biosecurity that
industry is willing to pay for and back out to the public. Everyday production
represents a lucrative moral hazard eating through our shared health commons.<span></span></span></p>

York, one of the largest cities in the world, sheltering in place against
COVID-19, a hemisphere away from the virus’s origins. Millions of New Yorkers
are hiding out in housing stock overseen until recently by one Alicia Glen,
until 2018 the city’s deputy mayor for housing and economic development.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>53</sup></a>
Glen is a former Goldman Sachs executive who oversaw the investment company’s

personally to blame for the outbreak, but is more a symbol of a connection that
hits closer to home. Three years before the city hired her, upon a housing
crisis and Great Recession in part its own making, her former employer, along
with JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo & Co., and Morgan
Stanley, took 63 percent of the resulting federal emergency loan financing.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>55</sup></a>
Goldman Sachs, cleared of overhead, moved to diversifying its holdings out of
the crisis. Goldman Sachs took 60 percent stock in Shuanghui Investment and
Development, part of the giant Chinese agribusiness that bought U.S.-based
Smithfield Foods, the largest hog producer in the world.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>56</sup></a>
For $300 million, it also scored out-and-out ownership of ten poultry farms in
Fujian and Hunan, one province over from Wuhan and well within the city’s wild
foods catchment.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>57</sup></a>
It invested up to another $300 million alongside Deutsche Bank in hog raising
in the same provinces.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>58</sup></a><span></span></span></p>

above have circulated all the way back. There is the pandemic presently
sickening Glen’s constituencies apartment-to-apartment across New York, the
largest U.S. COVID-19 epicenter. But we need also to acknowledge that the loop
of causes of the outbreak in part extended out from New York to begin with,
however minor in this instance Goldman Sachs’ investment may be for a system
the size of China’s agriculture.<span></span></span></p>

of the capitalist mode of production and that the state is expected to manage

that the cause of COVID-19 and other such pathogens is not found just in the

The wide variety of pathogens, representing different taxa, source hosts, modes

out, <i>disalienation</i> offers the next great human transition: abandoning
settler ideologies, reintroducing humanity back into Earth’s cycles of

the capital state.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>66</sup></a>
However, economism, the belief that all causes are economic alone, will not be
liberation enough. Global capitalism is a many-headed hydra, appropriating,

Along the way, we must navigate out of capital’s expansive reappropriations
across productive, social, and symbolic materialisms.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>69</sup></a>
That is, out of what sums up to a totalitarianism. Capitalism commodifies
everything—Mars exploration here, sleep there, lithium lagoons, ventilator
repair, even sustainability itself, and on and on, these many permutations are
found well beyond the factory and farm. All the ways nearly everyone everywhere

keeping any one of the many pathogens queuing up across the agroeconomic
circuit from killing a billion people must walk through the door of a global

foot soldier of the bourgeoisie, Glen among them, attempts to mitigate the

win such a generational conflict, we can replug ourselves back into a planetary
metabolism that, however differently expressed place to place, reconnects our
ecologies and our economies.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>72</sup></a>
Such ideals are more than matters of the utopian. In doing so, we converge on
immediate solutions. We protect the forest complexity that keeps deadly
pathogens from lining up hosts for a straight shot onto the world’s travel
network.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>73</sup></a>
We reintroduce the livestock and crop diversities, and reintegrate animal and
crop farming at scales that keep pathogens from ramping up in virulence and
geographic extent.<a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><sup>74</sup></a>
We allow our food animals to reproduce onsite, restarting the natural selection
that allows immune evolution to track pathogens in real time. Big picture, we
stop treating nature and community, so full of all we need to survive, as just
another competitor to be run off by the market.<span></span></span></p>

birthing a world (or perhaps more along the lines of returning back to Earth).
It will also help solve—sleeves rolled up—many of our most pressing problems.
None of us stuck in our living rooms from New York to Beijing, or, worse,
mourning our dead, want to go through such an outbreak again. Yes, infectious
diseases, for most of human history our greatest source of premature mortality,
will remain a threat. But given the bestiary of pathogens now in circulation,
the worst spilling over now almost annually, we are likely facing another
deadly pandemic in far shorter time than the hundred-year lull since 1918. Can
we fundamentally adjust the modes by which we appropriate nature and arrive at
more of a truce with these infections?<span></span></span></p>
