We are at a critical point in history in many ways, not simply the Covid_19. In a recent thread, someone replied to my comment by remarking that we need to find a way forward for discovering the meaning of life.

I would argue that the present time is one of refining past struggles, including race, the whole spectrum of gender identity, the divide between rich and poor as well, as well as different age groups. This is happening throughout the competition needs of various 'vulnerable' groups.

The current catastrophic circumstances in the world do bring in question of ethics and values.
I would argue that rather than a mere return to traditional ethics of former ages a wider vision is needed. This would include the philosopher who can bring out the positive possible aspects of systems of thought ranging from the traditions arising from religion, to the postmodern deconstructionists, as well as the many thinkers in between.

I am not suggesting an easy task However, perhaps a way of questioning and evaluating all the ethical systems of the past could enable the philosophers to find new approaches for living in a world that is in falling apart.
