Abstract

As human‐to‐human transmission of COVID‐19 increases, so do the political, economic and social concerns about how to tackle it At the biological level, experts describe the new coronavirus as a species of living organism that does not ‘fit’ homogeneously within a taxon, but could be understood as a ‘species multiplier – forming and enacting its identity with others’ (Lowe 2010: 626;original italics) Since a characteristic of the pandemic virus is that it needs to multiply as an entity through humans to survive, we could certainly speak of ‘trans‐species entanglements’ between – but not only – virus and humans
