The Corona Virus is a good indicator of two things: (1) Life does not proceed in a linear fashion, and (2) we live in bounded chaos. The two are interrelated.
No matter how well be plan, scientifically analyze, base our actions on data, unexpected events always arise which throw all of that into disorder. The world, and the universe in which it exists, are so complex, yet so interrelated that is it almost impossible to predict the effects of some action or event far distant from us in time and space.

We humans seem to think we are the peak of evolutionary processes but the bad news is, we are definitely NOT.
Even those tiny, almost invisible, micro-organisms such as viruses are continuing to evolve and mutate.
With our collective arrogance, apathy, ignorance and unbridled greed we have plowed the fields and sown the seeds of the Whirlwinds of not only our own destruction but, more than likely, the destruction of 90% of life on this planet.
