I can’t help but think if we didn’t live in such a dense agrarian techno-industrial globalised world a pandemic like this would never have happened. It only spread quickly because of extreme globalisation. COVID has lead to so much preventable disability and death.
Edit: Maybe I have a different definition of anaracho primitivism to you all but I’m reading through the lense of James C Scott’s Against the Grain, and the problems with the agricultural revolution.
It’s been pretty widely accepted that COVID was transmitted to a human in an exotic market selling exotic animals for consumption.
IIRC it was bats or a pangolin. Hardly has anything to do with “globalization” or large scale farming.
My point about globalisation is not that it caused the pandemic, but that it caused it to spread quickly.
Okay, so airplanes then. 🤷
?
Airplanes and trains and buses and boats. Spread covid worldwide when in the olden days it would have remained isolated and probably just killed everyone in their remote village.
It was airplanes.
