Specifically, I argue for theory rooted in a philosophical realism that overcomes epistemic fallacies (Bhaskar 2008: 397), i.e. the mistaken presumption that queries about existence can only be framed in terms of queries about human knowledge, such as in terms of people’s ‘concepts’. The core question is, to reiterate Laidlaw’s critique, ‘[W]hat on earth happens at the boundaries between ... different ontologies, and when things or people cross from one to another?’ (2012: np). Or, to rephrase the challenge: What, exactly, are ‘the things’ that now traverse all kinds of human‐made boundaries? Contemplate the logical implications of multi‐naturalist ontology! Presently, scientists agree that coronaviruses are behind the epidemic, while some (sceptics or
