We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact
of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently depending on our status as
individuals and as members of society. While some try to adapt working online,
homeschooling their children and ordering food via Instacart, others have no choice but to
be exposed to the virus while keeping society functioning. Our different social identities and
the social groups we belong determine our inclusion within society and, by extension our
vulnerability to pandemic.
Covid-19
Heavily shaken by the corona pandemics many of us are currently thinking about
how we could contribute to overcome this unprecedented situation. The COVID-19 crisis not
only challenges disease control and crisis management, but may also have long-term and
far-reaching impacts on states, societies and international cooperation. There are increasing
indications that the world will look different after the crisis and that globalization will be
questioned in many areas. According to these observations, the COVID-19 crisis would mark
a turning point. In times of deep uncertainty, science is asked to look to the future and to
flank a rational discourse about how to react to the current global crisis, and therefore now
better cope with other tantamount global challenges such as the climate change.
