Abstract
The current EJES issue on Going Viral could not be more pertinent. We are dealing with the ramifications of the continued war in Ukraine, new forms of fugitivity and migration, an impending energy crisis and other shortages during this and the coming winter, an ongoing climate crisis, and new threats to democracy. We as individuals and the globe struggle to make sense of what the COVID-19 pandemic means, how to live with its aftermath, if it is indeed over. We ask what an era that has been dominated by a virus means for the future.
