Not so long ago, photos of unusually clear water in Venice canals went viral. The images showed fish swimming around and there were even reports of swans floating around. Similarly, people are sharing other evidence of 'healing' nature and since the pandemic has us locked inside our homes, they're blaming mankind and its dirty everyday life for the initial damage. Some even went as far as to say that 'we are the virus'.
As time went by, the idea that coronavirus was giving Mother Earth the opportunity to 'heal' from us continued to spread online. In fact, reduced air pollution from less traffic, clearer waters thanks to less movement and the unexpected 'return' of wild animals has convinced some that coronavirus is 'Earth’s vaccine'.
This is a clear case of eco-fascism (the idea that individuals have to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of nature). One could argue that the main reason why nature has been able to blossom in the days during the lockdown is a direct result of reduced activity by corporations, not the actions of individuals. As a result, counter-memes were born, poking fun at the eco-fascists and their blanket statements.
