Hi TOK List,

 

  Here are some good “sense making” resources on the Coronavirus.

 

  First, for a quick summary of best and worst case scenarios, see this NY Times piece by Nicholas Kristof:

  Second, for a world history view in context with an emphasis on the lack of global leadership in the current crisis, see Harari’s piece here:

  Third, Tomas Pueyo has produced some interesting pieces showing the danger of the exponential growth that we may be looking at.

Here are two medium pieces:
