I'm more pessimistic than you concerning the human species. I hope you are correct in your hopefulness that a virus could change civilization or even that it will be a starting place. History and anthropology don't seem to show more than trends after the worst of times, but maybe we are at a stage where a universal change in human character is possible where it never was before. Hope is good, no matter the circumstances. I'll keep fighting to save the planet and to eleviate pain where I can even if I don't see a future for humanity on a healthy planet.
