Historically the largest threat to humanity is war. Not pandemic, which often follows war.

And the most likely situation that causes war is by each nation bring and island among itself. And seeing all others as, well, others.

And we have prevented a major war for the longest time in human history, at least in the west, by insuring all democratic nations are tied to each other by economic realities.

That said, China is not yet a democracy so we should be more wary. But when considering Canada and Western European we should be in solidarity when in times of crisis.
