Description
Summary:The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the world how we know it (at least for now). The question is, was this change justified? In this provocation, I will list three critiques to the narrative (the newly invented narrative) with and through which we have been making sense of the events of this pandemic as they have been unfolding.

This provocation concludes with the discouraging awareness that accountability will not be part of this narrative.
