It could be seen that the entirety of nature is a single organism. Everything seems to have come from a single something and branched, become more complex, from subatomic particles, becoming atoms and then the entire table of elements, to some rudimentary life form become every expression of life.
So maybe everything living is the expression of a single life form working together to produce the flowering of the human so that the totality of living nature can examine and explore the universe into which it became manifest. Many indigenous folks kind of get it in that they call the animals their brothers and sisters.
So we are neither superior, nor special and are only special in our uniqueness, just as everything else is special. Humans are the sentient organ of the body of life that can manipulate nature and understand the attributes of physical existence.
The rest of nature did all the hard work to get us over the line and the coronavirus is just pointing out to us that we shouldn't get too uppity. Viruses and bacteria made us and if we damage natural order too much it will just as quickly bring us to our knees.
