Summary/Abstract: “Some warn that the disease will be remembered not only as a human catastrophe, but also as a geopolitical turning-point away from the West. Are they right?” (Minton Beddoes, 2020).

Analyses focusing on the geopolitical impact of the current pandemic often employ apocalyptical imagery.
