The planetary equivalent of someone who suffered a heart attack that nearly killed them—which often arises due to zero exercise, unhealthy diet, or high-
stress lifestyle—because earthlings made

COVID-19 exposes how
fragile global supply chains are, how under-funded health or medical systems worldwide are, and how
vulnerable the
poor and marginalized in both developed and developing countries are.
