An attempt to understand the planet-wide turmoil of the COVID-19 crisis from a philosophical and epistemological point of view.

An epidemic is always a social phenomenon and a public health disaster all at once.
What does this epidemic tell us about our societies? What does it reveal about our relationship with pain and death? Is a virus a message from Nature, exhausted and begging for mercy? Or humanity, depleted and needing a rest? Were we right to slow down the planet? Are we right to believe it will rise up renewed? What about the "medical powers" that seem to be taking over politics? Are we witnessing a crisis of the democratic consciousness?
