Is this an “infectious” Era?

  

Around the middle of the 20^th century, the discovery of antibiotics caused an enthusiastic mood about the resolution of infectious diseases. But, in the last decades of the same century, the agents of this kind of disease spread with new strength. Antibiotics became more and more powerful against these agents, even losing their capacity to exterminate those bacteria. At the same time, opportunistic infectious agents gained focus together with the spreading of the HIV virus.

During the first two decades of the 21st century those same diseases kept their presence, and other viruses infiltrated into the human communities: SARS, MERS, H1N1 and other variations of this kind. Finally, Covid-19. But this one specifically could be the last straw of this New Era that we could call “after-postmodern”. While Science is advancing in many directions, Covid-19 caused a dangerous surprise, and maybe not the last one…Under the circumstances of aggression to the environment, new epidemics, and pandemics can start suddenly…

So, there are several types of “infectious agents” beyond the microbes, located in the human heart and its greed for natural resources and human disrespect…

There is a hope that the solution appears in this same Era.    

Environmental and viral issues for the years to come

 

     The current pandemic is one of several epidemic viruses that occurred during the 21^st Century linked to balance rupture between mankind and Nature. 

It seems that we live at the risk of a continuing menace of new diseases from this kind of rupture if no one does something to change it. 

For now, we have the Paris Agreement. It is necessary, but maybe not enough. To get a better result, the nations must do a longer step, and the small communities must compromise to make changes. Consumerism must change. 

The mankind and contemporary living must change to a new vision of life and needs. But everything concerning to Art must improve, not only Science. We are not talking only about a biologic surviving, but of a true life and living as humanity with all its characteristics. Then, maybe, a new time of post-post-modern era comes.
