COVID-19 Era: It belongs to the history or the future? | Vasilios Ioakeimidis | TEDxUniWA

This is exactly what we realized the last 1,5 year with the coronavirus pandemic. What has this health crisis taught us? In a crisis, do we function as the Aristotelian whole or as individual parts? Will we leave this lesson behind or will it follow us forever? Do the COVID-19 era and its impact on our lives belong to the past or the future?
