ABSTRACT
I begin with my impressions of a narrative of redemption that is caught up in the formation of new environmental, social, and political aspirations for the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. I then reflect on, first, pre-pandemic scholarship on "biosecurity" and, second, taking up a variation of the syndemic approach to understanding the COVID-19 pandemic. I end by arguing that we should not expect to live with "new normals" for living in a post-COVID-19 world that leaves intact "old normals" that have historically contributed to the rise of anthropogenic environmental harms and inegalitarian social arrangements in the world today.
