I was thinking about how Covid was going to have an impact on globalization. Things got dark, as I doubt there will be any early cure or vaccine against Covid. But just as I was getting absolutely down about how I'd not be seeing my overseas friends again any time soon, I realized how ridiculous the idea of de-globalization actually was. Covid can't and won't kill globalization. But it might very well put what I've called 'casual globalization' into eclipse.
And that has its own consequences, not all of which will necessarily be bad.
