Joe Bankoff, a distinguished professor and former chair in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, wrote the co-op "What if we treated COVID-19 like an alien invasion?" in the AJC

Excerpt:

I always thought if Earth was invaded by invisible creatures from Mars seeking to destroy human life the whole world would join together to find ways to fight the common enemy. Surely, peoples across the globe would lay aside their differences and fight together when national borders, race, gender, education, money, or military might anywhere could not protect people everywhere against an invisible enemy that uses our own human immune system to kill us.
