Covid-19 Lessons for the Future
If you weren’t aware of it before, the pandemic demonstrates the fact that the virus recognizes no boundaries or borders. There is no safe place. Our collective fragility has been made all too evident. What will we take away from the Covid-19 plague? We go back to business as usual only at our peril as other pandemics are sure to come. As Dr. Stephen Bezruchka says, “We need to rally around creating a society to work for global sustainability. Covid-19 threatens the planet. This crisis is an opportunity to make big changes in our relationship with each other and the planet. Incremental change is not going to work.”

Youssef Azami –
Everything here is more than worth the listen.
Doris in California –
Your broadcast with Professor/Doctor Bezruchka was so compelling. Every minute was gripping. His references to the remedy(-ies) to Covid-19, sociologically and tactically are ‘spot on’.
