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.
