DESCRIPTION:A Briefing by Dr. Sharat G. Lin\n\nThe COVID-19 virus has in a matter of 
 weeks spread to nearly every corner of the planet, disrupting every human 
 activity.  What is different about COVID-19 from other diseases?  Suddenly 
 everything is being reprioritized: universal health care, paid sick-leave, 
 drug companies sharing data on vaccines and treatments, housing for the 
 unhoused, reducing the number of prisoners, restructured food chains, 
 reducing meat consumption, multi-trillion dollar rescue packages, war 
 ceasefires, lifting sanctions are the new existential priorities.  
 Meanwhile, fossil fuel consumption, traffic jams, and air pollution have 
 plummeted, providing a possible respite in global warming, the other 
 existential threat.  This is a global shock solely to the human species.  
 Is it an opportunity to reset priorities for humanity?\n\nDr. Sharat G. Lin 
 has written and lectured on global political economy, public health, labor 
 migration, social movements, and the arts of protest.  He is with the 
 Initiative for Equality, San Jose Peace and Justice Center, and Human 
 Agenda.\n\nSunday Morning at the Marxist Library is sponsored by the 
 Institute for the Critical Study of Society\n
