The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated our fragility as a species.
Humanity was attacked by a previously unknown virus that spread
very rapidly, thanks to a speed of population mobility never before
seen in human history. It succeeded in creating the complete upset
of the global socio-economic system. Such an event gives us an
important stimulus to re-evaluate health in the context of a
circular system that encompasses humans and the environment in
which we live. The key challenge we face is the discovery of novel
paths to crisis resolution. Can we abandon the often cherished, but
now rather obsolete, tendency to specialize in a restricted subject
area? Can we re-discover the ability to become permeable to ideas
that reach us from other disciplines and embrace a
thinking-out-of-the-box approach? This book encourages the reader
to consider this challenge via the telling of stories, both great
and small. Stories that, although sometimes overlooked, have defi
ned the course of our history and thus open the door to a new
pathway of progress. In some ways, COVID-19 may have shown the
direction nature expects us to take. Ilaria Capua suggests to us
that, today more than ever, we are the responsible actors in the
circle of life, guardians of our planet and defenders of its
health. As one entity of circular nature.
