Un nuevo virus irrumpe en un país lejano, aunque no tan lejano. La Tierra se ha vuelto pequeña. Día tras día, billones de impulsos digitales transportan la información a la velocidad de la luz de un punto a otro del planeta; infinidad de aviones surcan los cielos, borrando fronteras a su paso y trasladando sin pausa a millares de personas; y, a menor velocidad, miles de toneladas de mercancías se mueven en todas direcciones en un incesante intercambio mercantil que nutre la economía global.

Una noche que expertos y autoridades han señalado como una bomba biológica en la propagación de la COVID-19 en Italia y España. De esa propagación formó parte, sin saberlo, el periodista deportivo Kike Mateu, que se convirtió a su vuelta en el primer infectado por coronavirus en Valencia: el paciente cero.

"Desde el comienzo de la pandemia en México, me indignaron las declaraciones del subsecretario de Salud, Hugo López-Gatell: su insistencia en que la enfermedad no era más grave que la influenza, el exceso de confianza en que todo estaba previsto y el espectáculo teatral de sus apariciones públicas. Hoy, López-Gatell reporta a diario las consecuencias de sus decisiones: más de 134 mil mexicanos han muerto y la pandemia no está cerca de concluir."

Seitdem Menschen sesshafte Landwirtschaft betreiben, kommt es immer wieder zu tödlichen Epidemien. Aber warum nehmen diese Infektionen heute die Form weltweiter Pandemien an, so wie es bei COVID-19, SARS, MERS oder der Vogelgrippe der Fall war? Warum häufen sie sich - und was lässt sich dagegen unternehmen? Der US-amerikanische Biologe Rob Wallace erklärt, wie Pandemien entstehen und warum sie sich global ausbreiten. In seiner Analyse berücksichtigt er die evolutionäre Dynamik der Krankheitserreger ebenso wie die gegenwärtigen ökologischen und ökonomischen Strukturen.

Es grassiert flächendeckend Angst vor COVID-19, vor schwerer Erkrankung und Tod. Dabei ist wissenschaftlich längst erwiesen, dass nicht das Virus selbst, sondern eine "allergische" Reaktion unseres Immunsystems tötet. Erst diese immunologische Fehlfunktion zerstört die Lungen und verursacht tödliches Organversagen. Wie es dazu kommt, dass aus einer natürlichen Abwehrreaktion eine derart unnatürliche Selbstzerstörung wird, ist der Wissenschaft ebenfalls bekannt - aber nicht der breiten Öffentlichkeit.

Some listeners will find these fragments sufficient stimulus in themselves, whilst others will use the source references as signposts toward deeper study and understanding.

For the first time in history, the world shut itself down - by choice - all for fear of a virus, COVID-19, that wasn’t well understood. The government, with the support of most Americans, ordered the closure of tens of thousands of small businesses - many never to return. Almost every school and college in the country sent its students home to finish the school year in front of a computer. Churches cancelled worship services. “Social distancing” went from a non-word to a moral obligation overnight.
