ABSTRACT
Just like the viral species jump highlights the emergence of One Health, so too this globalized and highly mediatized thanks to internet technology lockdown has led many more to the renewed conviction that the people can no longer continue to "progress" in the way the people have done so far. The direct link between a human species in lockdown and skies free of pollution, old waterways teeming again with life and so forth has reinforced the most ancient awareness that nature is the One Home for humanity. One of the most stunning biopolitical consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, as many economists have noted, is that the lockdown at home has led to a definitive break with the analogy between household debt and public debt that underpinned decades of neoliberal austerity policies. The home lockdown, paradoxically, has made the oikos-nomy into a political matter once again.
