The years 2018 and 2019, for international relations and global trade, were wavering from a trade war between the two largest superpowers today, which caused a significant drop in world growth and that redefined the strategy for both China and for the United States: between multilateralism and protectionism, reconfiguring new alliances, but finally, generating a truce between both countries that ended in the signing of an agreement in early 2020. However, the optimism at the beginning of this year quickly ended with the appearance of a virus - baptized as COVID-19 - which, although it originated in the city of Wuhan, in China, has been one of the great global equalizers. Unlike humans, viruses don't care where their victims come from, what religion they follow, or what ideology they believe in. Everyone is at risk, and as economies close and resources are depleted, the dynamics of international power may see a shift in the coronavirus era.
