my opinion about this article is that everything happens for some reasons, (cause and effect) most of this plagues had been created by humans,this plagues are the results of human's actions, so abviously those plagues had affected people, but if the wars would not ever happen, this pandemics would not ever exist.
The thing is that humans have to learn from everything we've lived, what this pandemics teach us, is that humans are interdependant, if a war occur, it would affect not only the peolple that is envolve in the war, also the whole world, as we've seen with this panedemics.

Onther point is that people and the wotld is always evolving, for example the weapons in wars are always changing, first were arrows, catapults, etc, and they had been evolving, then guns, nuclear bombs, and every type of guns were created with a radioactive powder, this time were more powerful and harmful,and if we evolve in guns, it means humans are evolving, and if humans evolve the whole world evolve, because as I said before, every action affect others, could be in a good way or in a bad way, becasue that is interdependence, every organism depend in other to survive. So we have firstly to think and then act.
